My First Big Show with the DL32R

<< < (5/5)

Kev tyler:
Well I have to wonder did I get a duff AirPort Express, or do they just struggle on 2.4ghz ? I used mine for Vnc with two laptops and the unit let me down so much from a mere twenty feet or so that it's now gathering dust and  was replaced by a 2.4 ghz linkys wrt54g, and a cheAp flimsy other brand both of which worked without fault even when the audience was full of people looking for free wi fi.

I don't let the numbers get to me any more, I did a gig with my band, on the day of the towns  half marathon, and they said there would be 12000 people there watching us, translated it meant that 12000 runners would be running past the stage during the event.

 :lol:

There is an older model of Airport express that can do either 2.4 or 5 Ghz but not both at the same time.  While you can't have gotten an old one directly from Apple in the last 18 months, you might have found an older one elsewhere.  The new one has a two conductor power cord and the old one had one of those fold out plugs attached directly to the router.  New one looks like a white version of Apple TV in shape and size.  And there always is that possibility of getting a bad one.  Assuming it's still under warranty, take it down to an Apple store and have them look at it.  If it's defective, they will replace it.

I found that since I've been using the Yorkville PS12P cabs, the sound is fuller and carries without having to push the levels hard now. But that feedback monster is always lying in wait, lurking, though.  >:D  Gymnasium sound support can be a treat just the same.  ;)

Hi wynnd

It's defo the new one mate, and is not an issue as I have ditched the laptop in favour of a pad hard wired via an audio cable to the desk, so no high tech for me any more.

Cheers
