Great idea, Rick! I don't mind if it gets a little loud (people can wear earplugs), but if it gets so loud that we're in danger of pissing off the neighbors again, we need to turn things down. We shouldn't ever be able to hear the sound system from across the street. This year the sound system will be set conservatively for exactly that reason.
I have a jar of earplugs left over from last year that I will be bringing again. Unfortunately, they aren't the Laserline Yellow-Pink ones from Howard Leight. (We do use those at work and I like them because they are softer and more comfortable than most other brands, but the ones I have from last year are green.)Speaking of ear protection, do we want to make it available to all participants?
Which one do I have? (I haven't hooked it up since SELEM last year!) I had planned to put one sub in the club and one in the auditorium...
QSC K-10s and K-12s both in the auditorium should be all right with 1 of the subs paired with them. Worse case we can get Jeff to bring his Mackie tops if we need more in there. (But I don't think we will need it.)
Agree that all my stuff plus 1 set of your JBLs is enough for the club. (plus one of the subs)
Cool! Actually, we had them in the gym last year, but not by the door. They were on the other side of the room, attached to a tripod. (Stupid, I know...) Maybe I should put that jar in the auditorium though? We'll see I guess.
I would say don't bother bringing them unless you have lots of extra room and don't mind the extra load. We didn't really use them all that much, although a couple people played with the DMX software for an hour or two. Still, for all the work packing them, setting them up, taking them down, and re-packing them, it's probably not worth it. Unless someone has a burning desire to play with moving heads.?.
