    This is an EXCELLENT example of an indoor Fairgounds event we do out here in SoCal. When the big guns are needed the only differences are more amps and FOH speakers. Thanks for posting the video Dave, You Rock . . .REALLY!

    Interesting you should talk about your shielded digital snake. I have had a problems with drop out and the need to shut it all down and restart to get it working again. Maybe that's the problem.
    I had an emergency snake that is unshielded which worked perfectly. Interesting.

    • @stageleftaudio
      @stageleftaudio  21 день тому +1

      Yes, we had some previous issues using shielded Ethercon cable. The un-shielded cables have worked perfectly. Generally speaking, the issue with the Ethercon shielded cables had to do with the grounding path that existed between the stagebox and the console (all via the Ethercon). Once we "broke" the ground, all of our issues went away. Our cables still have the shield attached (at one end only) to act has a "ground". They are officially UTP cables now and work great.

    Unshielded twisted pair...hmm what the heck is the benefit drawn from being unshielded? Was there some sort of short in the shielding or something?

    • @stageleftaudio
      @stageleftaudio  14 днів тому +2

      The shield was causing grounding issues between the console and the stage-box. When someone would touch a microphone, a static discharge would take place (though, not all the time); the energy would travel down pin +1 of the mic (the ground) and cause an interruption in the signal when the static discharge was routed to both the stage-box and console (via the shield on the Ethercon). Removing the shield (on only one side of the Ethercon) prevented the discharge from affecting the stage-box and console.
      Shielded CAT cable is good, especially in electrically noisy environments (like office buildings), but in reality is not actually needed in all situations. I have some previous videos covering this shielding issue.

    Hello, What are you using to cover the cable run to the front of house?

    • @stageleftaudio

      Those covers are just rubber floor mats. Each mat is about 6ft. long and 18" wide.

    I've been using the Presonus 32SC, so I'm familiar with it's features. When ringing out, are you using the RTA on the GEQs and adding them to the outputs, or just the included PEQs?

    • @stageleftaudio
      @stageleftaudio  10 днів тому

      I'm using the PEQ that is available on each vocal mic input; though, I do not use the RTA for the ringing out process. Hope this helps.

      @napynap 10 днів тому +1

      @@stageleftaudio OK thanks. I did it with the GEQ, but I may just use the PEQ on each channel to make it simpler.

      @napynap 10 днів тому +1

      @@stageleftaudio Also, try the RTA so you can actually see the frequency that starts feeding back. It's an easy tool to use. No need for an extra RTA mic.

    • @stageleftaudio
      @stageleftaudio  10 днів тому +1

      Yes. The PEQ is the best tool to use. It does a very good job notching frequencies. The GEQ can work, but it affects too many neighboring frequencies; it can alter the sound too much.

    • @stageleftaudio
      @stageleftaudio  10 днів тому +1

      @napynap The Presonus consoles (like many other digital consoles) have a built-in RTA, there's no need for a separate mic. Even with the built-in RTA, I rarely use it. I usually can determine what the feedback frequency is just listening to it. For me, it's faster that way.

    PA speaker could be a little higher? @SilverCreekAudio is on another exetreme though...

    • @stageleftaudio
      @stageleftaudio  14 днів тому +2

      The speaker height is intentionally low for this event. This is to ensure the bulk of the sound only covers the listening area and that the people in the first couple of rows can hear the PA. If the speakers were higher, the people sitting near the speakers would not be able to hear that well, whereas the vendors (directly behind FOH) would be getting a lot of the volume.
