This man also has dope wrapping bars 🤌 catch him on the beat wrapping bout cables and audio 🤣

I do this all day long. Can I give some advice? Measure 1 meter and learn the length with your hand reach. When you wrap a cable, you can count the loops , ( 1 meter per loop) and you know the exact length. Start at the female end and throw it towards the stage box. Always work towards the mixer. Learn the resistor colour code and colour code your cables and you know from a distance by visual what number the channel is. Put the velcro wrap on the male (stage box end) so it's out of sight. I could go on for ever! Peace everyone!

That guy sitting at the desk is wrapped up tight! And outta sight!

Good job Ernie 👍

Lemme tell you all - If you're a stagehand and you don't do this you are going to PISS someone off! Some of those cables are 50' - 100'. Some of them, like feeder cable is wicked heavy. if you DONT do this it won't go back into the box easy. You WILL look like an IDIOT! - Trust me. When I got bitched out, I took every single cable in my house and spent 3 hours practicing this. I felt like shit. When you pick up a cable, do it with confidence and know what you are doing. Good luck with that feeder cable.

I still use the Macon wrap

ah ? sans table de mix ? d'accord

good video ...peace JK Sound

Where can I find a video about proper setups for sequences through a Mac

And to MarlonOwnsYourCake...I can't wait to hear and see that project...Send me some clips!

click 4:56 when you are running outta time to wrap cable

Anyone who wraps a cable around the mic stand has never lost a U87 when someone trips over a cable with no forgiveness. :-)

something is missing here the pre amp (mixer) to turn on the volume and etc etc..???

I recon by the time you've done with the video you'd need to replace that XLR connector that you've been trowing on the floor. I also disagree with the increasing of the lifespan.... The cable has a natural twist as it has been wound on a reel directly after manufacture and as long as you stay true to that natural twist, you'll have no problems. If I catch anyone working with me throwing a cable like that, they have just bought the cable from me and I will replace it. I know it sounds a bit extreme but throwing a cable exerts forces on the cable and terminations that are not meant to be. I physically unroll my cables and so will anyone else working with them. I have hands on experience with all kinds of cabling right from the manufacturing process to the final use in various types of installations and uses and cables get a natural twist permanently set as they come out of the machine that makes the cable and is wrapped on the bulk reel. From there on, rewinding onto smaller reels and ultimately reeled for sale, that natural twist is honored by the factory because failing to do so will result in an unevenly wound and tangled reel. The method everyone proclaims to be the correct method is only really useful in high pressure setups where time is a bigger factor than the ultimately shortened life of the connectors because you can quickly uncoil the cable by simply throwing it. I suppose that in this instance, as is increasingly the case, convenience dictates the method.

"Ill Wrapping Procedure" is going to be the name of my next album.

you talk tooo much.. getting lost in trying to follow the procedure...

I've done shows with countless sound companies providing production and have noticed that 90% of them use string instead of Velcro cable ties. What is the reason for that? I assume it's because they buy 500' of tieline and it's more convient........... What is the best way to tie off cables using string or tieline?

i am doing mine just like this,,, but every once in a while it will slowly start to give me low grad feedback and i have to turn the level down real quick to make it stop then turn it back up. am i doing anything wrong.. i way far from speaker, and behind em so....

The other two guys at the end of the video were wrapping the cable like I was taught. It's much faster and you can twist it with your fingers better to get those kinks out. Also, you should have showed wrapping other types of cables such as BNC. Wrapping it correctly makes a HUGE difference when tossing it.

great informative video

I'm on this side of youtube again . . .

hi, what is the music at the start? its very funky :)

@2468DDT active speakers have a built in amplifier, passive speakers need a separate amp to power them

Excellent - ~~Now2207 (TV Production Student)

Wow this is great! I had been wasting so much time wrapping and unwrapping cables the wrong way. keep up the great work!

@jeromsavestheworld either will work- passive speakers need a separate amp to power them. active speakers (like these ones) have amps built in. which type is better depends on what you are using them for.

Hey, very instructiv vid, I have a question. I have a mixer and need two speakers for it. I believe it is the behinger XENYX 2442FX mixer. My question is if you need active (like the mackie 450) or passive speakers. pease answer.

@rmo52 that's a no-no. All you have to do is watch one episode of Deadliest Catch and examine the method they use for heavy rope.

Um... is it just me, or does this guy teach a backwards wrap?

longevity is reduced.

of hi i got 8 of this speaker i just for my night club so this speaker when is gettiing very hot turn offf what can i do to get my speaker always cooll ????/ thank you

Good idea on laying the bigger cables on the floor. The snake is the tough one for me. I've seen guys just lay it on the floor and wind it up, as if it's on a spool. Will this shorten internal cable life? Very small wires inside there, as we know. Thanks!

@jksound415 Thank you so much :)

Ok, ive been wanting an awnser for this question forever, hypothetically if i have 2 PA active speakers i can connect them directly into my dj mixer(djm 600) with not amp in between yes?

jk, i have a DJM400 (pioneer mixer) can i connect my mixer straigt to the speaker? because my mixer doens't have such an output as the input on the speaker. Nice vid!

You'll need a mixer of some sort. Ideally you would have 2 of these speakers connected to a mixer and then you'll be able to connect various mics and instruments (depending how many channels "inputs" the mixer have)

Thanks for the info. I believe that's a good way to give longevity to the cables, however I also belive that's not very healty for those XLR plugs banging on the floor from that distance all the time, and as the first thing you do (after unplug them) is pass all the cable through your hand to have it near your feet, why not have a dust cloth and at the same time you'll clean the cable before start to wrap it!

Great video. Thanks for sharing.

Very useful. Thanks! Any discussion on tying the cable after wrapping ... velcro ties vs. cord, knots, etc.

the end is my fav! go erni!!!!
