Of interest, maybe... GearSpace : Red5 RV8 Recap..? Try contacting Red5 Audio, perhaps..? They could advise, or even repair it for you..? Their contact is ... Contact for Red5 Audio...

Some courage needed, but you could swap the 'duff' capsule for a working one from a similar mic; that'll show up which part isn't working. As has been stated, it's less often the capsule than the pre-amp, but that's the simple test, if you have an equivalent working mic. Worth a try..?

What mic is it..? With the quality of many current new mic's being so good, is the replacement justified..? If it's a quality mic from a Big Name, a replacement from the factory might be the best bet, but a new Superlux starts at £30. Not an option..?

Capiche. Thank you. It would appear that a change of amp is required; I can't recommend one, though (I'm a drummer...).

The simple 'work-around' would be to not touch the Master volume after the FOH levels have been set. Not so much different as turning up the bass volume after having the FOH set. Why would anyone want/need to do this, anyway, once the sound-check is over..? If turning it up affects the FOH, the sound person will presumably just turn it back down, no..?

Technical information from the Fender site for the Rumble 100 states (my bold...) ... ADDENDUM / TECHNICAL NOTE Due to ongoing supply issues, some units may be built with an alternate power supply and amplifier module. This will not change the audio performance of the product; however, these units require a 4-ohm speaker rather than the original 8-ohm specification. Should replacement of a speaker ever be required, qualified service personnel should note the impedance rating (8 ohms or 4 ohms) indicated on the speaker itself and use a replacement with the same impedance rating. Additionally, units built with the alternate power module include the added pre/post switch that lets the user set the XLR output to provide pre- (direct) or post-preamp/EQ signal. It would depend, then, on the exact model of your amp whether it has this feature or not.

You really know how to make friends here, don't you..!

Certainly; shades of 'What goes on in Fight Club stays in Fight Club'.

You might prefer to keep a little mystique, no..?

S'been a long time since I last saw printed price tags.

Probably less expensive than printing labels, over time. The smart-phone labels need printing, too. If small superettes use LCD, I presume it's not too onerous (I could be wrong...). There are dozens of formats, for the display of most item prices, whatever the commerce.

This is done using LCD labels, updated from a hand-held controller. No need for printing, these days.

Welcome to my World.

Can you not start rehearsals at 7 instead..? Or have the others rehearse without you for the first hour (BV, for instance, or segue ideas..?). Just a thought.

The drummer's no slouch, either.

I'm a drummer; my move to an e-kit was a really smart choice, a couple of years ago now. The Thomann 'MPS Millennium 850' is a ridiculous bargain, and plays very much like an acoustic kit (unless you want brushes...). Mine is coupled to a laptop, running Superior Drummer 3, but even the built-in kits sound great. To be able to play almost any style, change drums and cymbals easily, mix any elements into a manageable sound, and record it all with virtual mics, is a game-changer. I've no regrets (although I still have the acoustic option if I so desire...). Just sayin'.

The (in...)visible bear says...

... D'uh...

Tsk, tsk. Such racist undertones. Tsk, tsk. ...

We all know how to count in many other 'bases' than ten, but most folk don't know that they know it. How many weeks is 32 days..? Easy, you say, whilst working it out in base 7 in your head. How many years have passed in 27 months..? No problem, just work with base 12. There's not much 'magic' to base 10, we had no problem counting out pennies and shillings. It did make things easier for those inventing the pocket calculator, once they'd made the internal shift from the internal base 2, binary, forcing the poor thing to use a bastard figure (10...) when 8 or 16 would have been far easier for the machine. Still, anything for an easy life, eh..? Those unused brain cells will rot away if they're not exercised. Maybe some grammar lessons have been skipped, too, eh..? Whose 12 times table..?

There is, or rather 'was', 'logic' to it at its conception, given the means available at the time. The scale is based on an upper and lower reference temperature, divided up into one hundred degrees. The lower temperature was an easy-to-establish 'zero', the freezing point of water. The upper reference was just as easy, being the temperature of a normal, healthy human, taken at the time to be one hundred. The scale is therefore from 0 to 100, freezing water to body temperature. Not too shabby for the early 1700's, no..? OK, they got it a little wrong with the 100, but with what they had to work with back then, it wasn't bad at all. There was, indeed, a lot of 'logic' to it.

This won't surprise some of us. It's a pretty well-known thing, for rehearsals, small venues, and recording.

Quite deliberately; they're watching.

Farm mechanisation made agricultural labourers redundant. IT did the same for the thousands employed in typing pools. Factory robots are rapidly replacing manual manufacturing jobs. Supermarkets and self-service took away most commercial staff needs. Driverless cars will soon make taxi and bus operations automatic. This 'ere A.I. is set to push intellectual and management out of work. It seems that the future is bright for everyone, with all of their time free to enjoy all the leisure time they'll have, from the cradle to the grave. We'll all be sharing the immense wealth this 'progress' is generating, won't we..! Won't we..? No, seriously; we will, won't we..? Please..?
