SUMMER
As we approach mid-summer I encourage my commercial clients and customers to start preparing for the fall season. In doing so, my recommendations are as follows:
• Drop off for Repair. Gear that’s not working get it to us.
• Setup & Test. Gear, Speakers, Mixers, lights, etc.
• Cables. We all have lots of them, start untangling and organizing them. Label / Color Code them. Buy some enamel paint markers, draw a line or dot (on the connector shell) designating a specific length. I.e. Red=100ft. Blue=50ft. and so on. Some use colored tape, however cables often get gaffer-tapped down, gaffers tape can rip of colored tape. There’s nothing worse than setting up with a container of cables without a quick way of identifying them.
• Separate intermittent cables. Place troublesome cables in a separate tote or bag. Chances are they may end up back on your next gig!
As you ALL know or have experienced, if it’s gonna break, it will break when Live!
Gear that may have intermittent issues are not going to magically get better on its own..
