Off the Rails Episode 93: The Ladder Rack Incident

Recorded August 23, 2024

(Yes, I let AI write this - cjd)

On today’s show, we dive into some of the worst AV mistakes we’ve ever made but never admitted to. From miswired speaker systems to network multicast nightmares, this episode is a confessional of epic proportions. We also tackle a listener email about tuning audio in a room, offering practical advice on how to make classrooms sound better using DSPs like QSC’s Q-SYS.
