Members 333president Posted July 26, 2013 Members Share Posted July 26, 2013 Hey Guys, I am building a live sound rig. So far I have: Mixer, Mics, Cables, 2-KW153's, 2-KW181's, monitors, Lexicon processor.What else should I get?Can anyone reccomend a good compressor? (something good, but not super expensive) Should I get a feedback eliminator? (I've heard a lot of mixed things on these - what do you think?)Am I missing anything? Thanks for everyone's unconditional help these last few weeks as I try to get all this together! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 333president Posted July 26, 2013 Author Members Share Posted July 26, 2013 Just a "sound system". They bring anything specific that they need.Any heads up on a decent compressor Andy? (I am not going to use that Sabine Graphi-Q again - just in case). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JV90 Posted July 27, 2013 Members Share Posted July 27, 2013 Get a dolly of cart like the rock n Roller, I have the ultimate jam stands karma cart and it has proved to be one of the best investments to get regarding the gear, having just to get one or 2 trips from the car to the stage is worth it in all things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Audiopile Posted July 27, 2013 Members Share Posted July 27, 2013 My power distro stuff and Yellow Jacket cable covers probably see more consistant action than anything else in my equipment inventory... besides my gloves, and multi-meter.

Members agedhorse Posted July 28, 2013 Members Share Posted July 28, 2013 Many jurisdictions now require dedicated lug boxes for connection of tails. Directly wiring to breakers generally is not legal because the breaker panel is not listed for direct connection to portable power feeder. In professional venues, you will find roadshow disconnects with lug access interlocked with the supply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is still alive Ahhhhh the good ol days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
