Suburban Man

I've been trying to avoid watching the news recently, but I think I may have seen your talking donkey?

If it did, I missed it; possibly my error. just got a message saying I should have ‘opted out’ when I listed - which is no longer possible.

I just got caught out by the ‘Simple Shipping’ - featuring a mandatory charge for ‘insurance’ taken from my account and also mandatory shipping cost deduction. Problem being that the EBay postage details were wrong so I not only had to pay for shipping I couldn’t use, but purchase another label for the correct weight and size. Not happy 😡

Agreed. I was probably being a little too oblique when I said “sonically interesting“ 🤔

You may have already discovered that you will get twice the power going into the 4 ohm cab as you get going into the 8 ohm cab. Sonically quite interesting since it’s the 15” speakers that will be working hardest.

Oh yes. Good point, I didn't see that. My, but its going to be a very 'live' band area with all that brickwork and the hard floor - or are you going to be allowed some furnishing?

Looks great but is that an odd perspective, or are the ceiling speakers set behind the lectern/podium?

I used an Elf for a while, DI output didn’t affect speaker output at all,

All above is good advice (balanced dynamic mics are fine with phantom power) You asked about plugging dynamic mics into the jack sockets? On your mixer those are line level inputs so there wouldn’t be enough gain for a mic.

Whilst not wishing to put temptation in the path of a fellow musician (but immediately doing so…) I have a nice Sansamp for sale Just call me Wormtongue 🙀

Strictly for plectrum players who wish to solo but can’t stoop to a “guitar” in my opinion. Of course I may be biased…

Can I assume that you are mixing in mono? If so, and you are feeling creative (you may not be!) you do have the option of running the active full-range speakers from the two left outputs and the bins from the two right outputs (just a jack-XLR adaptor or similar cable required) That way by shifting the pan control left or right you can alter the amount of any channel that is running to either set of speakers. Full left = Titans only, Full right = Peavey bass bins only, central = 50/50 split It would enable you to run the bass-heavy channels more into the bass bins and vocals (for instance) only into the full range Titans. Not a perfect solution at all, but would cost less than a tenner to try out...

As stated earlier, whatever you do don't use standard, solid core cat 5/6 cable - whichis meant to be fixed in place and not move. What you need is stranded core cable with a strong outer like this stuff - BELDEN 1303EPU CAT 6A DATA CABLE Stranded conductor - Deployable Neutrik also do a nice range of XLR-like plugs and sockets for cat5/6 cables, so you can run the van over them and still do the gig.

I was more worried that I'd start blasting out the audio from 'Love Island'... 🤔
