The other day I was browsing some of the pictures posted on the Facebook page called A/V Nightmares. This page is devoted to highlighting bad, audio/video installations around the world. It is amazing to see the kind of bad installations being done. Messy and even dangerous installations are happening everywhere. It is too bad that the installers do not take much pride in their workmanship. It is also a problem when installers forget to consider safety factors when installing gear. You have to consider the safety of any person who would be using the system when installing it into a venue. It should be safe to operate first and foremost.
One of the recent posts I viewed was a portable audio system that was designed for school gymnasium. The first picture shows a messy, thrown together setup on a simple A/V cart apparently done by a "pro sound company". The the second picture is of the same audio system cleaned up and installed in a proper rolling rack case. This is the way it should be done, nice and neat and organized.
Check out the before and after pictures below:
As you can see the second picture clearly shows how a professional installation should be done. If this was my work, I would be proud to have my name on it for a quality job completed.
In my own experience, I have worked at a local bar/club with a sound system that is need of some TLC like this job. Only problem is that the owner does not want to spend the money to do the job right. The sound system is setup and operating but, I could envision a much cleaner, neater setup that would look very professional to all visiting artists and technicians. Too bad the owner does not see it the same way. I guess you can't win 'em all.

Sound Gear Made In the USA!
Today I was introduced some great speakers by Peavey Electronics which are "Made In USA". It is so nice to see that some things are still made in North America. The Peavey EU series speakers and subwoofers are design for portable PA and installation PA systems. The specs and the price are really good for all this gear.
Here is a weblink to the product page for the Peavey EU speakers:

Currently, I am workng on a sound system design proposal for the public school that my kids attend. The school gymnasium/auditorium is in need of a new, installed sound system. I am going to help them work on that project for 2013.
I already helped out with the Dec 2013 Christmas play at the school by borrowing a small sound system and offering to mix sound for the assembly. It was worth my effort as I was told how great everything sounded by a few teachers after the show. I am looking forward to working on this project.
Anyone out there have any suggestions for a gymnasium sound system design? I will appreciate all the help from anyone who has had the experience of installing gymnasium sound systems. Thanks!
Cheers!
