Your firmware may be different as Tiscali have their own. If you log in to the router the parental control is under the Toolbox. Worth having a look in case yours is different

Not that I can see (I have same router - you with Tiscali?) The parential control will allow you to block an IP but will not allow it to be done at certain times.

I got to 11 points quite a few years ago (all speeding). Had a little Peugeot 106 XT that went like a bat out of hell and stuck to the road like glue. Got to 11 because I appealed against one and lost so ended up with 5 points + £200 instead of 3 points + £30. Had to sell the little PUG before I lost my licence and got a dead slow Renault diesel but it taught me to drive more carefully. I used to enjoy driving and would just go out for a drive if I felt like it but these days only use the car for essentials as its no fun anymore

Yes - I have a small one Rarely use it but it does come in handy to brighten up a dull marquee usually strung along a wall or the ceiling.

No gigs for me this weekend but I have a client meeting midday tomorrow and don't expect to get home until late Saturday night.

I have Peavey Pro Bass bins and I run them from a T Amp 1050 that gives 525w per channel at 4 ohms. Gain is set to 12 O'clock which is half way. Edit. The Peavey bass bins have a crossover in them that is designed so that if you link 4 Ohm tops to them, the total impedance would still be 4 Ohms. An active crossover would be a good idea if you didn't have a powered mixer but as you have, the easiest way would be to use the master outs to the amp.

Yes it will work but make sure the jack plugs are the stereo (TRS) type like you get on headphones. Unbalanced mono jack plugs such as often used for microphones won't work.

:welcome:

As it says in the description, they are industry standard. They have a good bass thump for the size. There are several DJ's that use them for background in venues or for fill in if sound is needed in another room. Not sure if Mr Goodtimes uses them but I think he does, if so, he can give a better endorsement. Suggest avoid Tapco

Also someone shouting down a mic, dropping one or feedback can easily blow a speaker.

Personally I wouldn't go for any of the above. :hide: I would get JBL Control 1 monitors http://www.htfr.com/more-info/MR267659 and a Samson servo amp http://www.htfr.com/more-info/MR259758 or if your budget could stretch to it, http://www.htfr.com/more-info/MR259842 Or if you want the active version http://www.htfr.com/more-info/MR230080 aren't bad.

Site visit at a local venue today. Just sitting here waiting for the call when the client arrives there. 40th Birthday tonight.

Always phone them first to make sure what you want is in stock though.

Specific manual for the CS800X is here http://www.peavey.com/assets/literature/manuals/80301956.pdf Page 10 for a description and page 11 for a diagram

All I can say is last night was an absolutely fantastic gig. Set up space was a bit restricted so the tribute act plugged his mixer into mine and used my sound system. He was a rat pack singer and his wife helped him set up and took a few pictures. They were a really nice couple and one of the best singers I have heard. He was simply fantastic. He done the first hour and got everyone warmed up and raring to go. I was a bit nervous following on from such a top class act but everything went fine with dancers on the floor all night. I was sitting down while he was singing but got pulle

I appreciate that there is an EEC originated directive about what information a business should display on their website but is it a good idea to put your full address and advertise that you have several thousand pounds worth of DJ equipment stored at your premises?

I believe according to UK spam laws spam is only illegal if it is sent to a private individual. Business to business ones aren't outlawed but they must give you the option of removing yourself from the mailing list and not send anymore if you do ask to be removed.

Build Me Up Buttercup - Foundations

I have one of said amps and it is the only amplifier that I have ever owned that overheated and cut out during a gig running two 8 Ohm tops (one per channel) with mids and highs only. It wasn't even being pushed very hard. The top of the amp got hot enough to fry an egg on! I thought the fans may have failed but opened it up and they were both working fine. It also had plenty of ventilation being on its own in a 4U flight case. Further investigation revealed that overheating is a common problem. The layout and design internally is very much the same as amps made by Alto that also

Wedding tomorrow with a singer. Have asked him to contact me to discuss setting up but haven't heard from him yet so if there isn't enough room for his set up, tough All I've been told is that he doesn't have much gear.

Don't have any for November yet but its no different to any other year. October/November are what I call the "party months" and they usually fill up closer to the time.

I manage it tongue out icon

It sounds more like there is a problem with the mixer. Turning the gain (volume) down on the amplifier wouldn't change the output (LEDS) on the mixer. Could you have accidentally hit the master volume control on the mixer? What do you use for media? - CD's or digital/laptop? It may just have been that particular track that had a much higher level than the others or if you were using a PC/Laptop, could the output volume have been increased?

Can we clarify what you said earlier: were they previously full on or did they suddenly go like that without you touching anything? The DDT is like a clip limiter and it would only cut in if there was a too strong a signal being input from the mixer. It has the effect of reducing the output (volume) from the amp so the speakers don't get overloaded but if you don't notice it has cut in, there is a tendency to increase the output from the mixer to try and compensate to make it louder. What that would do is make it worse, the DDT would cut the signal further and compress it.
