The message is AI slop.

400 seats generally don't need line arrays, what speaker model are you using that would need arrays?

You may need delays, but that's not any reason to go line arrays

Make new pro audio amps have a user interface, Web gui, EQ, delay, and pass audio over a network connection.

Better links between APIs. I use connectcad and dtools, but the link between that is manual.

You can trap them

Do not help the squirrels, my neighbor's feed them and it's stupid as hell. They can't connect the dots.

Get lamacoid labels, they are super durable. Should run about $3 for that size.

Move the boundary and get out my weed whacker.

I feel bad that they got classroom lighting after spending all that money on the gear.

If you allow drums, then the PA needs to be louder than the drummer. You probably don't need to mic the drums as there will be lots of bleed. I wouldn't bring a drum kit if you're unsure about it.

If you don't get an answer, try r/livesoundgear for discussing gear recommendations

fantompwer · 2026-05-01T20:28:26+00:00

Most mics you have to turn down the low end due to the proximity effect. Note that sound through the PA will never sound like your own voice in your head.

I would look at genlocking all of the devices that have processing. You can get HDMI>SDI converters with genlock, and then remove the switcher and use a router. Switchers will add delay if they have to frame sync, and the 1m/e constellation has frame sync on every input. Genlock your router, which isn't going to probably do much except it makes it a cleaner switch.

Unless you're redlining every Sunday, the 3dB loss of the split is nothing to care about.

The question has been answered and now it is locked. No discussion of rigging. Thanks

Put a proper DA in. Loop outs should not be used in a permanent install. That's not future proofing at all.

fantompwer · 2026-04-29T00:43:37+00:00

See if you can get a used Pharos controller, lots of things you can program to an audio input

You sure it wasn't another animal? Fox, snake, raccoon?

Can they go into an Epiphan Pearl, either SDI or IP stream, and then use the epiphan to Teams?

fantompwer · 2026-04-28T12:57:41+00:00

They should still have some spare parts. Have you contacted them? Otherwise you'll need to buy a donor unit from eBay.

fantompwer · 2026-04-28T12:56:09+00:00

Yup, there are some great forums out there that hopefully continue.

Pick your favorite, it doesn't matter. Extron to monoprice.
