How to Set Up PA Systems : Signal Flow for PA System Setup

[Shaded07]

This is probably the most technical precise 'Expert Village' I've seen... However, there are unfortunately, many flaws... 

[jackeatley]

This is so dumbed down, that its actually wrong,

1: Pans are post fader.

2: that output graphic and those master dynamics should probably go into the main inserts sadly they are unbalanced but hey, this is a signal flow concept.

3: Trim and gain pots are not the same thing.

4: What happened to foldback?

but being so dumbed down, not getting this far in should teach you to leave well alone.

@SpiderRider3 dude are you screwing with me or do you really not see it??? O.O

[MsMetallicaFan1996]

0:09 Does anybody else notice the beautiful KH-202 ESP in the back or is that just me.

[SpiderRider3]

@MsMetallicaFan1996 just you.

[poopooGarret]

I have that mixer, piece of shiiiit

[SpiderRider3]

@poopooGarret buy a new one.

[maliputate]

No wonder I can never get signal. "Always make sure that you plug an in to an out." This guys has the funniest videos ever. They're like a train wreck. I can't look away.

[FruityCoversLoops]

@maliputate ahahahahahahaah xD

[lighttech258852]

The smartguy in the video is WRONG again, a active and a passive speaker both need a external amp, a Selfpowered speaker has an internal amp!

[RMSENTERTAINMENT]

this is all common knowledge stuff...

[SpiderRider3]

@RMSENTERTAINMENT I didn't know it...

[rhythm2007mc]

Am trying to set a bedroom dj studio up. Do you have decks go to audio mixer and then mixer to equaliser that then goes into power amp, power am then goes to speakers and recording source like pc or tape recorder??

[elisprague]

this is bullshit information, i want to learn signal flow in recording systems!!!!!

[gunslinger5854]

@elisprague Check out Pro Sound Web great info for live sound and recording. Check the study hall for topics.

[silkyhands914]

it doesnt need to go into a graphic EQ especially know that we use digital consoles now.

[puppetmetal]

So it goes from the Microphone, to the Mixer Input, from the Mixer Master Outputs to the Graphic EQ Inputs, from the EQ Outputs to the Compressor, from the Compressor to the Power Amp? @_@

[benderpolice]

Always make sure you plug an in to an out. Well that's awsome news. Man this guy is a real expert. Too many experts in audio! but nobody that actually gets the job done. Fail is an understatement.

[kanetheassassin]

i have a test in this tomorrow does anyone have any suggestions for more detail in this subject

[SpiderRider3]

@kanetheassassin how did the test go?

[reloopx]

great tutorial!

[gabegeforce]

that was a pretty intresting video really! can you pls. make a video showing the connections in detail how is everything connected from cd players to mixer to equalizer,limiter compresor or driver rack to active crossover to power amps and going to the speakers. all i know is a certain driver must have its own power amp like base,mid and high. I'm new to the stuff so pls. guide me accordingly thank you very much in advance!!! I liked your instructional video

[djsareawesome]

no they are too cheap to do that.. they are here to make money... not to make helpfull vids, they tell you nothing thet isnt common knowledge...

[Qaannaqa]

You´re wrong?

[lanswipe]

@djsareawesome pretty much - if you dont know this stuff you shouldn't own/be operating a PA system

[liamhouldsworth]

who is this video aimed at? it seems to be made in such a way that it is targeted to people who have no intrest in sound engineering?

[tweetingbird]

Wow are people meaner just coz they're sitting at their computers?

[metallicaandme90210]

i wonder the same thing

[Briliantjoel]

Thanks For the tutorial.

[Sagesound]

My first PA brought to you by Kip Douchebag and Playskool. Buy a real desk and a line driver before you make another video. Fag.

I fucking hate you morons.. You have no real education and you are making "education videos"

Shut the fuck up!

[gearedtowardssalad]

Seek counseling.

[mac899]

ok.

[boron57]

The Mr. Rogers of PA teaching.

[eddyafritz]

why doesnt he make a video for people on a series budget?????

[ultimateinfinite]

i want that parker in the back ground.

[musicianforjesus]

I always wondered how you connected a graphic EQ unit to the system. I couldn't ever remember

[TpFw77]

the ending was cheesy lol.

"always make sure that you plug an in to an out"

confusing, but when you think about it, it makes sense

[organic1966]

Useless.

[RG350D]

did it give you a head ache lol...

[darksideofthemoon7]

wtf this is so confusing

[mtsn]

@darksideofthemoon7 started out well then became a mess from the middle.

[TheMetal4Life94]

@darksideofthemoon7 it's actually common sense.
