An 'outside broadcast vehicle'? Not by my definition!

Sounds about right to me.

In case it helps date things, that logo on the side would appear to be from 2008-2011, curtesy of Logopedia

My thoughts entirely.

With one of my TS310s I got some distortion at one point, so I opened it up (it was 2 years old at this point) and the compression driver was a tiny bit loose from the horn. Literally just screwed it back on and the speaker worked perfectly from then and I've never had another problem. To be ...

You may be hearing physical rattling. Not unheard of in some cabs - especially cheap ones like you have. Can be hard to identify and track down, and not always easily fixable. Don't worry about your level when feeding a PA, any competent engineer should be able to handle pretty much any realistic ...

The sound has been excellent at all of their previous gigs I've been to, including some other places that don't have great natural sound. They were having some technical gremlins as well so I don't know if there was some knock on effects but I can't think what. And there's the rub - you don't know ...

Newer kit with its own rechargeables can be great. We have Sennheiser EW-DX, with the custom Li-Ion packs (can use 2xAA in a pinch) where the Tx drop into chargers for storage along with charging. Works an absolute treat.

Was tempted* to last night at Public Service Broadcasting. Low mids were swamping everything, so the guitar went too loud to compensate and then the vocals and samples were being lost. And we were right next to the sound desk, my friend in the seating area said it was terrible up there. :( Doesn't ...

Only once. At an Am Dram production where the RF was behaving dreadfully. At half-time, I clocked the pile of receivers at FOH with no antenna distribution, expressed my sympathy with the tech and offered to try and help. Could do no more than reposition stuff more optimally, and suggest that ...

Picture failure aside, I do believe the HA Control is on for the TF5, but the console is prone to turning on and off analog gain and phantom power (seemingly randomly) for channels 1-8 regardless of HA being on. I will try turning off HA Control and will reply back once I am able. Thank you ...

I'm no TF user, and neither image worked, BTW. But you may benefit from reading p36 of the TF user manual : HA Control button Determines whether the head amp of the Tio1608-D, R series and so on is controlled by the TF series. Turning this button ON and OFF has no effect on the DZR-D series and the ...

If you're happy with the limitations of generic fit IEMs over custom fit IEMs, it's hard to go wrong with KZ ZS Pros. Currently only £22 & VAT from Aliexpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32999600612.html I've used these for a couple of years. Keep meaning to get round to getting custom fit IEMs, ...

Here we go again...

So do I, I’m going to risk ridicule (again) by saying it's the only cable that my ears heard a definite "improvement" in sound quality from, I made up a set of leads for my CD player using Klotz cable, I'm not normally into all this malarky, but there was a nice improvement, quite an obvious one. I' ...

What I noticed was that, when setting the tops volume to unity, I wasn’t able to push them to their maximum because the subwoofer would saturate first (the limiter LED would light up). The root cause of your percieved problem is having insufficient rig for the gig. While the subs and tops in a " ...

Not sure why you didn't just try it - you know how it would be set up.

One of my frustrations with people in this game is that they don't seem to be interested in learning by experimentation which, as long as you're not doing anything actively dangerous, is the best way to learn through experience.

Your simplest approach to achieve what you're asking for would be to cascade through link outs. So: Stagepass - monitor 1 - monitor 2 - monitor 3 - IEM pack. Use XLR-jack adapters where necessary. But, and there's always a but, it's not an ideal solution. You may well find that the IEM user is not ...

I've emailed Swanflight to see if they can make me something based on their top and front lid design with 4U of vertical space, no angled top insert and shallowest top lid possible. I'll let you know what the response is. They'll make anything that's practically possible. It'll likely weigh more ...

If you really are using a cable with a single XLR to a dual phono, then you're using the wrong cable, which is potentially causing the LR signals to cancel each other out, especially at low frequencies. Assuming your Denon DJ (how much more helpful or would have been if you'd given a precise model ...

This is always the right answer, despite all the young and inexperienced band members who would insist otherwise.

Rather than trying to get trained via an online forum, which will be painful and time consuming, find someone local who has some experience, and get them to help you through this. If you're lucky, you'll get help for nothing, but be prepared to pay an hourly rate. A little time will go a long way ...

If not (no sign of a logo) then it’s a tea-cosy.

The OP did reference the SPCVR-DXS18X so yes.

Rather than all the conclusions people have made based on a single, not very helpful picture, you might get a more reliable response from the manufacturer, which is only 5 secs googling away https://www.yamahamusiclondon.com/SPCVR-DXS18X-Functional-Sub-Woofer-Cover-/pidCSPCVRDXS18X Yes, they ...

Alexis - I only read the first paragraph of your last response but all I can say is that you do seem to love to take the most difficult route possible to solving a problem. The complexity of your system is crazy! Yup, crazy indeed. And a whole pile of previously undisclosed items in the signal ...

UiR24 yes, but no hum at all without the preamp. Great questions, thanks, AlecSp, and always looking to make the signal chain better, I can address that below. If it's possible though (?) I'd really like to focus in this thread on my understanding of the hum, DI box, etc. if that's OK. :) Again ...
