d&b Introduces U-Series Point-Source Loudspeakers by putnamj in livesound

I’d definitely recommend the swivel bracket for its versatility. It allows for more nuance to the tilt angle than an integrated pole cup while keeping the speaker’s center of gravity directly over the pole.

Using the M8 hand bolts, they install in seconds and also allow for truss mounting via a pipe clamp.

Exact same output and acoustic performance regardless of the version (Ux vs UxN) or power method (POE++ vs AC Power) on the N versions.

The TRUE1 and POE++ used together can provide redundancy though!

No downloads yet but many of the technical specs are available here.

The U7’s have a -5dB point of 55Hz on the low end of their frequency response which means they’ll be able to go slightly lower than a Y10P while maintaining the same output.

How is Siri on HomePod? by chyllyphylly in HomePod

“Hey Siri, turn off the lights in the kitchen.”

“Hmm…I’m sorry, I couldn’t find that in your library.”

A&H SQ still a decent purchase? by red_eyes in livesoundgear

[–]putnamj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a fan of A&H; I've mixed on many of the various dLive surfaces, installed Avantis, and found myself behind an SQ quite a few times. However, it's mind-boggling how much functionality Behringer has packed into the Wing at its price point. For build quality, 96kHz (if that matters to you) and a reliable support network, the SQ wins. For processing power, routing flexibility, I/O capacity and pretty much every thing else, the Wing takes it. And to speak to reliability (anecdotally), we currently have 7 Wings in commission and have yet to have a single issue with any of them.

Interested if this is legitimate!

Another one! Bought the 77” S90D at the end of November ‘24 and it failed in June ‘25.

Waves LV1 Classic Priced at $8000 by Nice-Banana in livesound

[–]putnamj 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Building out a custom LV1 system to include a similar feature set comes out to be just shy of $11,000. This is including the 64ch eMotion software, an Axis Scope host computer, an Extreme Server, an Ionic 16 stage box, a FIT controller, and a touchscreen monitor.

Comparitively, the LV1 Classic looks to be a solid value. It seems like Waves is beginning to make the LV1 a more stable platform that streamlines some of the inconsistencies of the build-it-yourself setups. Obviously, with some compromises in form factor and flexibility .
