    New Light Suggestions

    I use a single T-Bar with a ADJ Colored Spherion, and either a ADJ ERVO3 or ADJ Mystic LED and a couple of ADJ MICRO Lasers as my small light package, with the Antari Z1020 hazer. For bigger rooms I use all the above and add another Spherion, using both REVO3 and Mystic, with four micro lasers...

    added more ETX

    I just added a set of ETX10P tops with covers to my ever growing EV active rig. I play more with one or two ETX15SP subs than I do with all four and my ETX12P tops work great with all four subs, but not as well with one or two. I had been using my my ZLX12P tops with one or two of the subs and...

    Cleaner Song Cuts

    Guys and Gals, I have a Prime Cuts subscription and it has been great for keeping me up to date with the current music. The problem I have is I need cleaner cuts!! Even the songs they list as clean cuts are still riddled with foul language. I do a lot of HS and teen events, plus I live in a...

    ETX12P gig report

    I have a gig report on the ETX12Ps. I did a gig for the (soon to be) mayor of Hopkinsville last night from 4:00-7:00 PM.

    First time in 20 years

    I have been in my current house for 20 years this month. I have played a lot of music on a bunch of different equipment, but this house has never housed a turntable.

    EV-ETX-15SP

    I now have two of the new EV-ETX-15SP's and they are tremendous subs. If you didn't know they were 15" subs you would think they were 18" from the sound, volume and punch. These subs will now pick up all my small to medium gigs, which is the majority of what I do. I went and listened to the...

    Rick ryan

    Rick, Do you know anything about FADD's DJ Service from your market area? He seems to be getting a lot of work up in my area. I have not lost any dances to him yet, as I do very few weddings, but he seems to be getting pretty aggressive. Ray J.
