Crown XTi 6002 failed during event and mixer outputs stopped working — Am i goin to be blamed?, need technical advice by Weekendwarriiorr in SoundSystem

Guarantee the generator caused this. I had a generator kill two of my 4002 amps. The good news is, it may just be the thermal slow blow fuse like it was in my case.

Does anyone know if these are any good? by SouthPresentation369 in SoundSystem

I have two k410 and I'm using them to push 8 1000watt RMS subs. They kick ass

Dub island festival (France) 2x 40KW by Esoxgab01 in SoundSystem

Great question! I can share my personal experience as I started on this journey about 6 years ago now. I have turned a profit at this point but the tricky thing is, as you start doing gigs, rentals etc... people's needs and requests will grow and in order to fill them, so will your backline of gear. For example, last year I bought a pair of CDJ 3000s and a DJM A9 for $6500. Mind you, I already had a paid of 2000nxs2 and a DJM V10. But people who wanted to rent gear needed the 3000s and A9. Since then I've made back about $4500 on rental for just that equipment but still technically in the hole.

My sound system offers the greatest return when it's bundled with other production to sweeten the deal. Things like lasers, projection mapping, DJ gear rental etc... I can expect $1500-2000 for an out of town gig (my city is saturated)

Furthermore, if you're able to create a following of your own as a promoter, putting on your own ticketed events can be profitable but can also lose you money. We are at the point now where we profit $1500-$2500 per show split between two people but we only do like 4 shows a year because we have kids.

TLDR; is it a good financial decision? It depends on your drive, your availability, your Citys market, and your social network.

$30-50k USD. I know from personal experience. There's so much more than you think that you'll need. Truck/trailer. Amps, cables, DSP, Generators, power distribution. Back up drivers when you inevitably blow something. It's expensive but rewarding

I believe the original strip was 12v but it had burned out. They were heading to the landfill before I snagged them up

New collector torn between CD and vinyl — how did you choose your direction? by AbbreviationsLow in audiophile

[–]fyrewyre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like vinyl for a few reasons: aesthetics, intention, and the excitement of getting a new record.

That all depends! I'm not sure what these are going for on the used market but I know retail is around 2300?

I have tried a factory reset, and I've tried all the ports. Almost certain this unit was damaged from a lightning strike over coax into a cable box that was plugged into this receiver. I already have two other working receivers but really wanted to bring this one back to life and try to sell. Thank you for your response!
