Perhaps he's opening two shops..... optimistic really!

You can get version that integrate with Crestron and AMX so yes they can be set to activate at certain times

Depends on the venue... I deal with a lot of audio installation companies and they tell me that these are put in place mainly by the local council when venues come to re-new licenses. Now the venue may or may not be responsible for causing a nuisance with sound levels but it's not always the case. Out of the 100 or so 'Venue gigs' I played at this year, a good majority of them had SPL meters. Most we were able to work with, keeping below the limit. Some places we just bypassed altogether on willing authority of the management. There are places where these things just do not work. Last year we had a venue, fairly posh affair where we were to play in the bar/lounge area. We got there and set up only to find that the limiter that we had not been told about on our pre-gig meeting at the venue was tripping out with the background noise of the bar...... needless to say we couldn't play and had very angry Bride and Groom. We pointed this out to the management who had to take full responsibility and moved the band into the Dining hall to play. Some venues!

bumping this again just as a reminder

Looks fine to me

The interface outputs..... Depends on the interface really.... I'm using motu interfaces that have 8 'channel' outputs but also a pair of stereo outputs to connect to the studio monitors or you could use these as a stereo mix to a master recorder if you wanted

[quote name='Blink' post='646671' date='Nov 5 2009, 08:36 PM']Here are my two: [attachment=35802:IMG_2783.JPG] [attachment=35803:IMG_2785.JPG] [attachment=35804:IMG_2786.JPG] [attachment=35805:IMG_2787.JPG] The one on the right was custom built for me and is my main giging bass. It's deep red in colour and is a dream to play. I told Mike I needed a 5 string fretless so when the bass on the left came back to Mike as a part ex he took the frets off and then presented it to me saying would be be the perfect match for the red bass. So out came the credit card! I have just started playing the fretless again and I had forgotten how good it was. I have a big gig comming up on 16th in The Albert Hall and I'm seriously considering using it. N[/quote] Loving that shape

I use the old hairband trick

Depends on what type of system they have installed.... if its a constant monitor system unplugging the mic will activate an alarm sensor which will not be good. We have gaff taped over mics before but it's not that effective really

I've just switched to the Sennheiser IE8 which are outstanding..... they really retain the body of signal as opposed to a lot of IEM buds that are not very forgiving.

We have a clause in our client agreements that we are not responsible for disruption due to spl limiters..... worst experience I've had is at Knebworth House where we lost power 9 times in the first set. Very poorly installed system as most are.

Bump

Is there a link?

Good Call!

Most reputable PA speaker manufacturers have powered speakers in their ranges. The better models also have DSP built into the amplification module which handle eq, cross-over settings, limiting amongst the functions. When I say matched amps what I mean is that the amps are usually matched to meet the demands of the speaker/box size that they are fitted in, therefore giving you the best possible amplification for the system. J

To be honest you should look the other way around..... Powered speakers that have matched amps and DSP already built in.... then just add whichever mixer you need.
