Finished Up The Rest of The Shopping List

Posted on August 13, 2009 | Filed Under Audio, Hardware, Stage

Shawn and I ran around town today to find the rest of the items on my recent shopping list. Here’s what we picked up:

More Velcro: we use this to organize cables
Double sided mounting tape: We’re using this in the youth room to mount a wireless mic under the desk.
9 volt adapters: we’re going to try to replace as many 9 volt batteries that we can, mostly for DI boxes.
1/4″ to RCA adapters: we use these for iPods, CD players, DVD players, etc. to sound boards.
20 foot wireless mic antenna cord: we’re installing a wireless mic in the youthroom. It’s an old one from upstairs so we needed a new cord.

Industrial Strength Velcro

I bought some more stuff today but the thing I’m mostly excited about is the “Industrial Strength Velcro”. It’s a 15 foot strip and 2 inches wide. We’ll use it to “tape” down cords on the stage. This will be an attempt to replace the expensive Pro-Gaff tape. I’ll let you know how it works out. You can get it at Walmart for $20.

I also got a couple black 15 foot extension cords, 2 black power strips & a 1/8″ Y adapter.

New Cables = Cleaner Stage

Posted on August 11, 2009 | Filed Under Hardware, Stage

We recently ordered some new XLR & 1/4″ instrument cables from Sweetwater.com. These cables have a lifetime warranty so of one goes bad, don’t toss it. We can send it back and get repaired for free minus shipping.

Shawn Wilson ordered them specifics lengths so we can get the stage cleaned up and not have long loops of cords on the stage. He’s installing them today.
