A viewer asked me to post a video of a band indoors. He commented on my RCF NX45 & 8004 (Best Portable Small Format PA) video. So, I will use the same band in that outdoor video and take you inside for the same song. In fact, I will be in the worst acoustic environment that I mix in. Hope you enjoy it! Video was recorded on my wife's Samsung phone. You can hear the compressor built into the phone compressing the audio. Not what I like to hear, but here it is anyways.Check out my book called: How To Make Your Bar PA Kick Butt on Amazon here: https://amzn.to/31dnhox#RCF, #RCFNX45, #RCF8004SUBWOOFERS

Here is another follow up on the RCF NX45's & RCF 8004 Subs. I get asked often on how many people will this system cover. The short answer is a lot! For the price & portability of the system - it is the best bang for the buck in my opinion. It can get loud and still maintain it's composure. We reached a crowd capacity of close to 900 people this night so don't shy away on how many people this little system will cover! #RCF, #RCFNX45, #RCF8004

In this video I try to shed some light on how many people the RCF NX45's & RCF 8004's cover. The short answer is A LOT! For the price & size & portability of this system, it is in my opinion, a MUST HAVE! I have easily handled crowds in the 800+ range without any complaints. If the crowd noise could be kept very low, I believe it could cover even more people. Possibly 1500 - 2000 for a "Speaking Event". Don't sweat it! This system gets loud!

In this video, I demonstrate how easy it is to check the system polarity WITHOUT opening a single cabinet. Many times we mix on PA Systems that are not our own and not all that familiar with. I demonstrate an easy way to check the polarity that can be easily done in a few minutes. Run the impulse starting with the kick drum channel and send it all the way thru the entire signal chain. From there you can easily measure if the subs are in polarity. Move up to the Tops as well and check those. Last but not least, you can even check stage monitors. Once you have confirmation all the gear is in positive polarity on a "System" level, especially left to right, you can then decide if a channel polarity flip is needed. Why spend time EQ-ing a PA system if you are not sure what the polarity is. This will save you more time in the long run & will rule out such issues once the show starts.

In this video I wanted to demonstrate what the RCF NX45's & the 8004 Subwoofers sound like with an actual band playing through the system. Playing music through a system is one thing but playing an actual band is another. This little system packs a ton of punch and can handle the majority of small clubs and bars, even nice sized beer gardens with plenty to spare. In my opinion it is the ultimate small format PA system for the money.

Hi! My name is Jerry. I am a full time audio guy. I went from not knowing anything about sound to mixing some of the Big 80's & 90's artists from back in the day, in a really short amount of time. I would love to show you how I did it. On this channel, I would love to discuss and help those that are learning more about sound to achieve their goals. http://www.soundasylumlive.com HOW TO MAKE YOUR BAR PA KICK BUTT https://amzn.to/37tSlRh #SOUNDSYSTEMOPTIMIZATION #LIVESOUNDMIXING #AUDIO

Quick demonstration on two methods of Cable Wrapping. In day to day cable use, it is critical to wrap the cables properly. 1. It will extend the life of the cable drastically. 2. It helps you to stay organized. Bands & Corporate events DO notice these things. 3. You may not need the full length of the cable every time, so I demonstrate how to effectively use what you need and leave the rest coiled up ready to be wrapped for a quick tear down.

When setting up a PA for the first time it is absolutely essential that you gain as much information about all of the parts as possible. This couldn't be more true for basic sound enthusiasts that want to throw a bunch of un-verified & un-examined speakers and cabling together and rush out to do a rock show. They quickly find themselves on the "diagnostic" side of the mixer and that makes for a long night and not very many friends. A tool that has been in my tool bag from the very beginning is the Galaxy Audio "Cricket". A fantastic cord checker and polarity checker. it is easy to check woofer type speakers outside of the box but with this tool - you can leave the speakers as they are and test them in minutes. This becomes even more amazing when you check horn drivers. Never underestimate the power of a great cord & polarity checker! You MUST check your polarity! Want to learn more?

Visualizing the Frequency Response of your sound system is crucial to setting up the PA to be the best it can be. All to often the mixing board is expected to correct flaws in the system that it really cannot correct. This video demonstrates in a "visual way" the basic idea or goal to setting up the frequency response so the mix engineer has a clean canvas to work with. Want to learn more?
