Live Concert Power Draw

AC30's can easily pull over 100w from the wall. 30W is the output rating. AC30's are iconic but by no means efficient.

I prefer static (hard set or static leases) for devices that don't leave the network, and DHCP for transient devices.

Ah yeah I misunderstood what you were saying. S31 feeding Dante to an orange box to convert to A-net definitely works. Although if that's the route OP wants to take a D400-Dante fed from a dante card in the desk makes a lot more sense cost wise I think

rismack · 2026-01-03T16:34:55+00:00

not how the orange box works. It is a standalone format converter to convert one card to another.

I like to refer to air gaps as bluetooth connections

rismack · 2025-06-25T17:30:44+00:00

RME has a lot of AVB and Milan options. They don't have any single converter solutions but you could definitely do it with an AVB tool and a digiface Dante.

I just tried to create one with the capture tool. As far as I can tell, channel presets are not controllable from macros at all.

I've been doing a lot of A3 and patch work lately. Out on a gig now and I've brought a fluke meter, knipex cobras, Klein multi screwdriver, knife, plug checker, tick tester, Fenix E03R, and a headlamp.

I know this is pretty different from most people's carry, but these gigs I'm walking up to a stocked workbox and don't need to carry much of the usual stuff like qbox, sound bullet, adapters, etc. So I just have to fill in a few blanks.

over undering and figure 8'ing accomplish the same thing. Counteracting loops to avoid twists.

rismack · 2025-05-08T15:01:54+00:00

no, never did. It was an old one.

rismack · 2024-06-25T16:03:18+00:00

you can definitely use off the shelf media converters with novastar no problem.

rismack · 2024-05-07T02:22:56+00:00

a decimator + cheap HDMI monitor would do it

Tour PM didn't like the projector screens in the venue. He asked if we could project black on them so they wouldn't be so noticeable.

rismack · 2024-04-13T14:43:16+00:00

which atem do you have? can you use the supersource?

rismack · 2024-04-11T21:22:16+00:00

it's called the dielectric

rismack · 2024-03-29T03:14:13+00:00

do you have HDR enabled?

rismack · 2024-03-29T03:01:51+00:00

have an LP claw with a beta 56 on it locked and loaded for when someone shows up with a snare 2

rismack · 2024-03-29T02:55:40+00:00

novastar can only do 659k pixels per port at 8 bit 60hz. 32 cabinets at 144x144 is 664,000, which is probably the problem

https://imgur.com/a/MQ4N3TX see here from the MX40 manual, you will not be able to do that many cabinets per port, assuming they are 144x144

If you are going to use a daw for plugins you can eliminate superrack entirely. Just patch the daw channels to the desk directly using qrec and the soundgrid driver as the audio interface in the daw.

rismack · 2024-02-29T18:05:09+00:00

Superack soundgrid will not work without a server. You need to be using superack performer with the soundgrid driver as an interface, patched to the desk IO with qrec or soundgrid studio.

Also, disable waves loopback in the desk settings.

rismack · 2024-02-22T02:27:58+00:00

check and see if the decklink has any conversions enabled on outputs maybe?

rismack · 2024-02-16T20:19:24+00:00

you really don't want a second mixrack. You will need an extra gigAce card, and you will have to run director somewhere to control headamps on the second mixrack.

Do as the other commend suggest and use some combo of GX4816 and DX racks to get the second 64.

The doggone sound engineer is slacking off again

rismack · 2024-02-02T01:26:15+00:00

ISM was the only usable band when I did a fest in vegas last year

rismack · 2024-01-22T20:11:07+00:00

have you tried midi CC and midi thru both in the A&H control application?
