Pros vs. Joes

[NLFX Pro]

I was inspired by the recent thread on installs and a job we just completed. I could not possibly imagine what we encountered there. First I'll post pictures from the "Joes", then I'll post pictures from us (the Pros ). The sad part is that in this case... the "Joes" were also "Pros", but this clearly is the type of workmanship that gives us a bad rap. I think most "Joes" could have done a better job than these "Pros".

Pictures from the Joes:

Floor Pockets
The "old" wire, corroded from the 20 gallons of water we found in the conduit
Floor pockets
Some of the water in the floor pockets
Previous speakers
What is that??? No ground???
Wall Plate
No grommets on the knockouts??

Now our work:

New wiring with jet line
New floor pocket plate, with transformer isolated unbalanced/balanced conversion circuitry, custom etched with school mascot
New rack, all wiring piped into rack. 100% secure
New speakers being prepared for rigging
New speaker with conduit run
New wall plate, each plate numbered and etched with school mascot

 

[DJ J Mac]

Okay, the etched school mascot thing is cool. Was that something you guys just did for them or did they ask for it?

We just do that for them. The laser is already running, so its easy to do. We also do a lot of custom plate work for DJs racks, etc... and we often include their logo, etc.

That's cool.

 

[Esoteric]

That is cool Ben. I will admit that is something we cant do yet. I should post pics of our last install.

Thanks, Ben.

Seems the Three Stooges may have done the original job.

In the old short "A Plumbing We Will Go", Curly says to Moe, "No wonder the water don't work. These pipes are filled with wires!"

Fun

I just glad I can now use the sound system in the gym and can actually be louder than the crowd.

yea, even the mic snake I bought from Ben has my name not only on the shrinkwrap around the wires, but it's etched into the metal on the stage box.

No wonder it cost me a small fortune!

No, really, it's pretty good quality stuff, and I haven't had any problems with it yet. I love the nylon "spagetti" tubing over the tails, you just shake them and it untangles itself pretty much!
