They had generators in the reception area and I brought my 3500 watt inverter generator as well. But, what about the ceremony that was a 1/4 mile from the reception area? I brought my handy little car battery powered inverter and ran my small PA system, laptop computer and lavaliere mic for a...

I live in Butte County, CA and I was not directly impacted by the Camp Fire. I was close, but not too close. I took this picture from my back deck on the 2nd night of the fire. I have about 20 friends / co-workers that lost their homes and everything in them. Also I have two clients, weddings...

I've never been as 'techie' as I think I should be and I am always amazed at how technically knowledgeable so many of you are on this site. I've been using a different mixer the last few gigs and something has my attention and I am hoping to get some schooling on the subject. I could Google...

I'm really interested in this unit until I see it is cardioid pattern. I'm thinking for ceremonies to mic the officiant and groom. Currently, I only mic the officiant with another Shure omni-directional lapel mic. Is omni required to hear all 3 people in the ceremony? Would the bride be picked...

I've posted before how my wife uses this system for her Zumba dance classes. http://www.musiciansfriend.com/pro-audio/harbinger-ha120-portable-pa-system We don't really like the sound, but the ease of use with the mixer / amp is wonderful. If we purchased decent speakers, would she get that...

My wife uses a Harbinger M120 for her Zumba class. She is having a bigger event and wants to link 2 more speakers to the system. The additional speakers are from another Harbinger M120 system. The manual states... SPEAKER OUTPUT JACKS Connect both speakers to these jacks. The minimum impedance...

I'm in the Chico, CA market and I've talked to a bride to be whose DJ bailed on her. Wedding date is 05/21/16 and I am booked. I'm just trying to do something to help, I do not know the couple personally. If you or someone you know is in the area and available, please let me know. Thank you!

Well, it's my Dad's PC but anyhoo.... Every couple weeks or so his monitor looks like this. If he does a power cycle, everything is fine.. until it happens again. It's a fairly basic desktop PC running Windows 7. Sometimes a few days or weeks. Recently twice in one day. I know there are lots...

As it relates to extension cords? I have an outdoor gig in a couple weeks and after the site visit, I see I'll be at least 200' from the power source (2 - 20 amp breakers) The B&G are offering to buy the required extension cords. I am thinking 12 gauge for 200' or 10 gauge for over 200' maybe...

I was going to research this through Google, but I thought I'd get information from a known trusted source (you guys/gals) I have a Harbinger PA 120 system and I'm wondering if I can use the amplifier/mixer to run my Alto TS 112a powered speakers? Here are links to amazon pages for product...

If someone asked me if it was a good idea to store a powered speaker in their vehicle 24/7 I'd say no. Does anyone have any real world experience on this? The details: My wife uses a single (Alto brand) powered speaker for a dance class she teaches, 5 days a week. She keeps the speaker in her...

I was meeting Jessica for the first time tonight. We had talked on the phone a couple of times. I arrived a few minutes early and did not see anyone that matched her description. Just then, my phone rings... it's Jessica. She asks if I am at the meeting location, which I reply yes. She is across...

I have a gig coming up and I will need to amplify a keyboard. I have not done this before as I usually only play music and use microphones. I am not sure if my equipment will work for this. I use a very simple Mackie 402 mixer. I use the XLR input (line 1)for the wireless microphones. Line 1 and...

I received a "lead" from Thumbtack via email today. Seems you can pay $8 - $50 a month for leads or $3 - $30 on a per lead basis (based on size (price?) of job). Anyone use this service, and if so can you share your feedback? Thanks

My friend got married recently. We are on different coasts, so I was not her DJ nor was I at her wedding. As always, I try to glean what I can about the DJ from the pictures. (dont we all?) lol I'm wondering what the DJ is using for lights. Also, is it just me, or do those JBL's look really...

The wedding we did last night was for a local couple at a house in our neighborhood. They did not pay in advance as we usually require, but due to the circumstances, I was not concerned. (they had paid their $100 retainer) Before the event started, they offered to pay the balance. They had a...

So we are at the Peppermill Casino and my son is in the arcade playing a DJ game. I couldn't help but notice the brand of speakers bolted to the side of the game. Real I wonder? Or just made to look like it?

This is the stock 6.5 door speaker. Some googling says its a Blaupunkt, but I do not believe that brand would be stock in an $11k car. Anyone able to positive ID this brand? Thanks!

So my (almost) 16 yr. old son has purchased car audio equipment. JVC stereo Pioneer sub Rockford Fosgate amp Diamond speakers Anyone have any reviews or personal experience with Diamond brand car speakers? I've never heard of them before and I want to make sure he didn't get sold...

This is geared towards those of us that DJ at kid parties on a regular basis, but anyone is free to chime in :tribiggrin: Does anyone offer bounce house rentals as part of their business? There has been quite a bit of interest for this in my area and I am considering adding bounce houses to...

So I've been pretty slow this summer. In fact, I have done 4 events in the last 3 months. (1 Family Reunion, 3 Weddings) I only had one booking for this month and now I suddenly have 4 events booked in the next 30 days. (Party, Karaoke Party, Wedding, School Dance) Crazy stuff And since...

I've ran off a generator twice before. Once for just the ceremony (small system, no lights) and once off a huge ol' genny that the venue had. In this case, we are going to be about 500' from power and the B&G said they will rent a genny but need to know what to get. I know I can 'add up' the...

Just to be clear, I was nowhere near this gig! :sqerr: I found this on Facebook and felt the need to share. I do not know if this DJ calls himself a pro, or if it is just a friend with some gear, but either way, I'd be embarrassed to have my set up look like this. The plastic bins under...

I realize I could research this myself and I likely will, but I know so many people on this board are much smarter than I am, so here goes. On my website, I have an availability calendar that uses HTML code. I built the site using IE and when I view the page using Opera or Firefox, I cannot...
