I just got word today that Bose is buying back the column array that recently blew up, despite it being more than a year old. They are sending a brand new replacement. So, there goes your theory that Bose is not pro-active about buying back bad news. When was the last time a Bose sales rep...

It's a BeTopper - a very cheap light. ~ $100 Link to BeTopper

What I didn't do is coddle someone's approval seeking. On balance - it's not hard to see which posts are needless cat calling and what speaks to the matter of actual practice. The most prominent point of the OP was choosing to make it easy, thereby ignoring (or being ignorant of) a most basic...

It's the 'I can help' part that trips a lot of people up because it may be hard to separate one person's intention from another's desire. Like your point about sitting in with a band it's better that we are sought as opposed to being accommodated.

My more subtle point (for all) was: have we asked about their wishes or are we imposing with our own priorities? Personally, I never bring sound equipment with me to an event unless I've specifically been asked to help with that in some way. Imagine someone showing up with linens and napkins...

Seems like some serious over-kill. Will your friends still invite you over if you don't bring the speakers? :) If you can fit a baby grand piano in the living room then maybe consider these personal monitor systems, but for home use there are far more practical, lightweight, powerful, and...

I don't recall you being there Grazhdanin. Next time say hello. :)

It's best to make that decision up front: to mix externally or internally. I generally choose to use the most powerful mix solution - which in your case would be the Allen & Heath rather than the speaker. If your doubling their role for use at home - then maybe an internal mixer makes sense. In...

You're using an "old school" lens to look at a new age problem. For a DJ gig, you shouldn;t need to "dial in" the lighting for every gig. Your setup is probably near identical every time - with a dance floor directly in front of you. Even if it's not - there's no reason the lights can't be put...

The EV systems are nice, and I think I'd be more inclined to use the Harbinger before I used anything like it by Bose. Bose keeps producing this in between line of stuff that's a little more than consumer grade, but not quite professional and I see way too many fails. Blew one up just by...

I agree MixMaster! The fact remains: sound is coming from the wrong direction. The system was battery operated and wireless - yet he still couldn't come up with a will or way to meet best outdoor practice. Fault: Applying an INDOOR approach to an OUTDOOR event. Amateur excuses to readily...

It's most likely a FUZE by Beamz, or another similar Bee Eye fixture from from Shehds. Class of fixtures known as Bar Light/Concert Movers. The models can change with each manufacturing run, so age of the fixture will impact the likelihood of finding an exact match.

Do you disclose this priority to potential customers or just wait until you show up to compromise the presentation for your own comfort? As an attendee, when the presentation is in front of me that's where I expect the sound to come from - not from behind me. There is no reason a professional...

"Easy for Me..." Batteries and no wires to run; and you still couldn't be bothered to produce sound aligned in the correct direction?

No, Mix. People choose to be offended. It's a coping strategy. He chose to portray himself a victim when someone had a decidedly different opinion. Just as Scott chooses to show up each time with his obsequious lecture series on adulting. (Go have lunch at a local playground and watch/listen...

To finish this thread out, the advice from B-Sharp was top notch. I was lucky to have gotten it, Thank You Brendan. (SP?) Very good advice. The Roland 707M was an ideal choice and fits the bill perfectly. Results: Roland 707M: Native to Serato DJ Pro and also works well with VirtualDJ (Have...

Please find that quote for us Mix. When you can't - admit that it's bulls** Your own emotional baggage. My position was clearly stated that "I" would not have accepted either gig, or that "I" would not rely on batteries or cell phones. My choices, and my rationale - they differ while speaking...

No I shouldn't. Oversharing is not friendly, it's invasive. That's why saying no evokes immediate disdain from people who do it. The thread title is Backup Gear. Do I need to know anyone's travel plans? Do I need to hear stories about their ex-wife? These are not magnets for friendship, just...

, . . . did someone ask? I must have missed that post. Desire friendship? Seriously? Try Match.com I'm not your friend, Scotty. It's a website full of opinion - not a help line. Grow up. Agreement is not necessary.

Good grief.. Time to change the site name to: OurDJemotionalSupportDoll.com Mix might arguably be the healthiest personality here.

LOL. . . from the guy who's repeatedly seeking deference.

You're probably too late for the real learning curve, and a computer is really no longer the best way to do this. You'd be better off with a proprietary surface system that manages the DMX or CRMX and RDM for you. Here, all the programming is already done and you simply use a tablet App to...

Sounds like a juvenile hissy fit. Other people don't owe you ANY knowledge posted on the internet. So let's add: Entitlement I gave you an opinion, it's mine and I'm keeping it. You're free to argue about it with others.

I know you don't. Like the good witch said to Dorothy: "You had to learn it for yourself." It's a blind spot to believe the issue is about technology.

I started with virtually nothing. Then I got an invitation to a large ballroom event. However, I had no way to get to it and nothing to wear. All I had was one pumpkin, a mule, a dog, and some mice I had befriended out of loneliness. Then I answered a knock at the door and met an curious old...
