    Carvin dcm2004L

    Hey RoadRanger, it's Pete (Unalaska) from HC. If you ever want to trade the D2 for a 1204 I'm up for it! The 1204 is about the same depth as the 2004l but the weight is about double. I'm replacing 2 qsc CX502s (plx1602 contractor version) with the D4. I'd rather replace them with ipr3000s or...

    Allen & Heath MixWiz 16:3 help

    Panning vocals left and inserting a compressor is a terrible idea! Buy 2x 2 channel units or a 4 channel comp. dbx 1046, presonus makes an 8 and 4 ch comp too. Compress no more than 3-4 db, ratio at 2-2.5, output at 0 to +6 max, use the RMS or over easy setting. Set up your knobs then bring...

    Carvin dcm2004L

    I bought one about 2.5yrs ago. 10lbs, 300w @ 8, it's an absolute workhorse! I use it for 4 mon mixes in a rack w 4ch of 31 band eq. It's a great grab and go mon amp rack. It got stolen a while back and I bought the earlier version the DCM1204. 200w at 8 ohms per channel. Ballsy little amp! The...

    Newbie PA Questions...

    Does the powered sub have a high pass output? There may be a way to run all signal to it and back before it hits the amp stage in the pa head. Really you've got the wrong tool for the job. What you actually need is a normal board with an external amp rack. I'd suggest the dcm2004l (personal...

    Playing live! What gear do YOU use?

    Use an amp along with a DI, amp for stage volume, DI for house. Actually a DI usually provided by the soundguy so if you don't want to spend to $40 on a DI then don't. If you do then also get a short 1/4 to go between DI and amp. You can really blow a lot on a DI but in reality a basic passive...

    New Female Singer Insists On Tube PreAmp

    There's nothing in your PA that would make a decent usable sound. Kustom pa speakers, digital reference mics. No. Start over. Mic and speakers have more to do with your sound than anything else. If you're looking to spend money the sell the kustoms and buy a pair of yamaha clubs or something...

    Tricks to get a 3rd monitor mix if board only has 2 auxes?

    Bite the bullet and upgrade the mixer. Option 2 is use a post fade fx send if one is available. Option 3 if your lead singer just wants a me only mix the tap the direct out on his channel and take a subgroup out feed and he can blend the 2 on his in ear. That opens up an aux. In reality you...

    What's the wood thing between the pickups on some high end basses?

    So did you have them made for the bass aftermarket or did it come like that?
