[harlanzip]

I would like to put in a sound system for a high school baseball field. What specs would you suggest for a decent sound and loudness but a good price?

[iceman977th]

@harlanzip Are you going to be running music? If you're just doing PA use, a regular horn setup will work. If not, it depends on your crowd size.

[djfingersflores]

thats the way to do it..! right on

Hey MM, another quick question that I am too lazy to find an answer too. About how much does one of those 13FT tripods cost? I do a lot of car shows and are looking into some 12" speakers but I need some tall tripods for them. Thanks!

[directsound]

ya but it was over at 8:00 and it was still light out

MM

[djboentertainment]

True... But a 10,000 lumen projector will fix that problem! Lol. ~DJ Bo~

[directsound]

MM

[DJStereoTypical]

mm

[odavila78]

Nice one MM! Sounded great and way to be prepared, a broom and a standing mat? lol Great job once again!

[rentonmay]

good job ser your the man

[jemaudioaustralia]

Hey MM, How did you go with the speakers up so high with wind or was it a calm day? did you strap them down at all so they couldnt fall over? When I do outside gigs I either use ratchet straps to poles or try and get a few lead bags on each leg to ensure they wont fall. so just wondering on your thoughts and ideas

[directsound]

It was windy but the tripods are steel almost 100 lbs each so they are very stable ... I just kept an eye on them and I had no issues but if it got crazy I would have lowered and or straped them down

thanks

MM

[jemaudioaustralia]

thanks, and also u do awesome work and really inspire other people well me anyhow to produce similar where we are. Good work

[directsound]

Thank I glad it helps!!

[jimg76]

Nice vid! I recently did a gig on sand and ended up with a big mess to clean up afterwards. Good luck with the clean up

[directsound]

As you saw I brought a few mats to keep the mess down I only needed to use 1 but I had 3 more if I needed them I think they were $10 at harbor fright they come in handy for dirt anf to hold wires down through door ways

thanks

DJ Mikey Mike

[Maxsdiscos]

Fantastic Stuff Mike!

Great choice of music as well

[jasperibe]

Before this event, did u ever use 13' speaker poles??? The opening graphic and the graphic during the video were sweeeeeeeeeeeet!!! and i gotta give props to the shirts and the marketing, well done!!!

MM

[DJshittyloadin]

MM,

any ideas how to see my laptop when the sun is shining. I had to play outdoors by a pool today-client said they would provide a covering but didn't. I could not make out anything on my laptop screen at all-ended up running my ipod-set & forget method-very frustrating-is there anything I can do to fix the problem?

[directsound]

I always bring an easy up in the trailer if needed but I would bring a small black plastic board that you can fold and tape to the screen and make like a sun viser to see better ...Its a tough one!!!

MM

[DJKILLaMIXAU]

Hey DJ MM

how many watts are the ramsa tops,

great gig,

Have a good 1!

[directsound]

Im running QSCRMX 2450 Xover to them so about 500 wats at 8 ohms of Highs going to the tops but I had 3 speakers so it was running a very low ohm load so probily about `1000 w to the top from the amp or something like that...I had to keep a close eye on it ...Its a prity stable amp so I went for it

Thanks

DJ Mikey Mike

[sainifabulous]

this is where those wireless xlr transmitters come in handy but forgot you have amps :(

[directsound]

Ya I could have gone wireless but it wasnt to far! so I just ran the wires no biggie :-)

MM

[JFLORES980]

Hay mike nice gig like always, just woundering did you have access to a power outlet or did you have to use a generator to power your system.

[directsound]

they had power for me but I do have a small gen if needed

mm

[djbigron]

looked like you had a great time. great as always

[directsound]

It was fun!!!

thanks

MM
