I have the same WiFi setup. It works great. One thing I did was put some velcro on the back of the AP and on the top rear of both the left and right speakers. I slap the AP on the back of the most convent speaker with the antenna sticking above the top of the speaker, then I raise the stand. No need to carry/setup a separate stand for the WiFi and It gets the AP above the people. I also painted the AP black so it doesn't stick out like a sore thumb. Easy setup and rock solid WiFi.
Great video. What was the thinking behind lifting the PA so high? I would honestly not risk going that high wind and depending on weight of you mid/high boxes will make it super unstable. All you need is for the horns to fly over the audience heads then you will get good coverage. Keep that awesome content coming. I love it.
Awesome log! Would have loved to see some front fills with those extras to really throw that sound! Probably overkill for this one tho ha! Sounded awesome!
8:28 Pro tip: get some 12" velcro cable straps for your Siamese Twin cables; then use them just below where the speaker mounts to the stand to secure the cable to the stand tube. Then the cable will run straight down the back of the tube and won't be noticed by the audience! Additionally, if you give a little slack between the velcro and speaker, it takes the weight of the cable off the connectors.
Hi! Greetings from Sri Lanka ! My son , 18yrs is a beginner to this field. He enjoys watching yr videos and picking up a lot of things. He is planning to purchase a Behringer X32 and RCF HDL 20 and 8004A subwoofers, 2 each together with DSP. Hope he will be able to manage small live events. Good luck!
I couldn't help laughing my lungs out when you spoke about cutting down music cause it is time up. I recall how i did that a couple of years ago on a wedding hosted by Church which I work for, and those getting married were both musicians. It was now 10pm and they were now singing their lungs out like it is church already. Mind you, I still had to tear down the whole system, take it back to our Church and set it up before I can call it a day. Yes, I had a couple of our volunteers with me but still !!! I just went on and killed the subs🤣🤣🤣🤣
I hate being the bad guy but a lot of places want you out by a certain time and if I don't cut it off, I will never be out of there by closing! Thanks for watching!
Wow bro that’s a lot of gear for 2 Channels…you work is so neat..please can you do a video of the ramp you built & the inside of the van & how you have the cable rack setup. Thank you
Most of the people were in the back of the parking lot near the food trucks and bar. Go figure! So i used the extra height of the speakers stands to get the throw distance I needed while also respecting the client's budget. Thanks for watching!
Nice setup! What's in the smaller Silver Creek Audio stacking cases? didn't see those unloaded. Wondering if down the road you can upgrade to 1 bigger case (even if it tilts up in the van) to make things easier. Since you're moving your own, Audiopile makes great stuff that works... Hard to tell, but how high are you getting the speakers? Great as so many are too low and blast people with the HF horns...
Audiopile is awesome! Our current cases are from Kangaroo Cases, a local manufacturer in Dallas, TX. We have one for XLR cables and the other is for power. Never thought of getting a bigger one and tilting it up and then ratcheting it down. That's a really great idea! As for the speaker stands, I like to get them as high as I can! I agree, too low and it is uncomfortable and overbearing. Thanks for the suggestions and watching!
Trim height helps these speakers throw further. Also, it takes advantage of the speakers vertical dispersion pattern (about 60 degrees) which makes being up close more comfortable from an SPL standpoint. As a bonus, height can reduce the likelihood of feedback from the "stage" Check out Michael Curtis' RUclips Channel! He's got a great video on speaker set up and placement and explains why height is so important better than I can!
How would you deal with the outdoor heat? Especially with the weather going into the 105s I have some upcoming gigs outdoors and I need some help with preventing overheating the speakers!
@@BradPlays22 Keep 'em out of the sun if you can. I think most of the higher-power active speakers are fan-cooled, so be sure that's working properly. I had an ETX-12P shut down on me in the sun. I sent it in for repair, and it turns out that there's a piece of plastic used in the amp for ducting air from the fan, and it was in the wrong position, cutting off airflow. Black speakers in the sun can get too hot to touch. I had that happen with my mixer, too! I did what you wouldn't usually do to a piece of electronics, and used a spray bottle of water to spray a mist over it. It was so hot the water pretty quickly evaporated, but cooled it down such that I could actually use it.
In your next upgrades would love to see some LD/turbosound/EV dedicated monitor wedges and some DZRs/RCF Arts or HDL series arrays! What model EVs are these? Not sure if you have a DBX Driverack but it makes space measurement and corrections SO easy. You definitely got a new subscriber though!
@@SilverCreekAudio they travel really far distance outdoors because of their line array hybrid point source nature, stackable with flight harnesses already built in, and are some of the clearest speakers I've heard for that price point and at unity they are loud!!!!
Thanks for watching! These are currently the only speakers we have in our inventory and they definitely get the job done. However, if I were to upgrade my point source speakers, I would get QSC K12.2s.
@@SilverCreekAudioplease consider the RCF Art 932A! They’re similar in price but sound sooooo much better and throw way farther. If you have a little more to spend, consider the NX945, it’s a wood box instead of plastic, uses a 4” CD instead of 3”, so an even lower crossover point to the 15” instead of 12” woofer. Also if you don’t own subs definitely invest in at least a pair of single 18s.
One question: You have one guitar player who will never even touch the mic. Why do you think you have to make sure, the mic is not feeding back when it’s pointed right at the wedge ?
Force of habit. I always ring out monitors. Also, I've had presenters or guest appearances take the mic off the stand and drop the mic towards the floor or wedge. Feedback city baby...

To get the stands level:)
Correct! They are helpful to level the stands on uneven surfaces, like parking lots.
where is that ramp from? aswome video!!
The ramp is from Link Manufacturing. I believe it is the LSR90 - Swivel Ramp, 108 in. We worked with a local custom auto shop to order and install it.
Where I work we use those speakers as monitors only. I'm wondering if they actually project far while sounding good in an outdoor setting
