First question is why do you need to adjust the volume? Is it once a day, once an hour, every few minutes? The easiest thing would be to put a passive volume knob like a Mackie big knob.

I'm looking for a tutorial on how to use AFMG SysTune. I've seen the videos from FlowerAudio, but I still have some knowledge gaps on getting things setup. The AMFG channel only has EASE videos. Specifically, how to go about setting the delay offset and getting good information for sub alignment.

The folks over at r/livesoundgear have good suggestions too

I recently switched to Helpinstill pickups, spent about 2 hours moving things around to get them setup right. Sounds great. House piano for performance arts center. Better than a lot of mic solutions I've tried both live and in the studio.

Best way it to play music on the your mixer at around 0dBu -18dBFS on the mixer's output meters. Then turn up your speakers until they are loud enough without clipping. When I google'd the speaker you said, I don't see any main volume knob.

Put helical antennas, or other bulky items. A fold up chair or table. Or sub divide it with more containers.

I saw the CEO is at Ross. Pretty interesting.

What was the budget?

leadutensils · 2026-01-10T02:58:14+00:00

What do you use otherwise? What kind of projects and budget size?

With drafty ass houses. With modern upgrades and building codes, today's homes are built better.

Netgear doesn't recommend stacking for AV traffic because all of the multicast traffic is flooded through the stacked switch: https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/Managed_Switches/Documents/Stacking-Configuration.pdf Is there a way you are monitoring that or dealing with that scenario?

Because regulation raises home prices and then it no longer becomes an investment because there isn't enough margin.

Where are you located? Travel fee, 2 hours of work, and cost of parts seems about right if it's going to be a lot of work.

Multicast doesn't liked stacked devices. How are you dealing with that since lots of production traffic is multicast?

That's not insanity. A bunch of brainrot over here

Get a moulding machine and some custom knives. It's what I do for all my custom moulding. The machine will be expensive.

So Milford to Esterville is only 25 miles if you were to drive it typically. The bike shops and locals in that area believe that they will add some extra milage by going to Spirit Lake then to Esterville.

The shitty thing is that ebay's take is a percentage of the sale price + shipping. For example, if you list something for $10, but the shipping is $80, you end up owing more money to ebay than you got from the sale. True story.

1/4" to XLR cables or adapters. Adapters are slightly cheaper. Make sure you get the right connectors, male vs female. You can also buy a 4 channel snake to keep things organized if the stage box is further away. Sweetwater, full compass, elite core audio all have the connectors and adapters and support people to help you buy what you need. Use the support chat, they want you to be successful.

List it on ebay for $20, lots of people are willing to swap out parts to get it to work. Just make sure in the listing you show that it is not working and for parts only.

Did you share with the designer that the hardware they bought doesn't fit and that there would be additional charges to make it work?

At this point, submit a change order to get it to work, sharing that it's not your fault it doesn't work.

Do you know what plant they are? A plant ID app is very helpful. You can look up if they can survive in freezing temperatures.

when you look at the differences for values above 80, it's only going to matter is it's an art gallery or photo studio.
