Incredibly helpful - thank you for your generous insights on setting up this mixer

Your welcome 🙏🏻

Can you do a short video on setting up 2 subwoofers separate from mains. I want to be able to control those on a separate channel and route that to ST3 where music is being played but not real sure how to do that.

[@PluggedinAV]

Sure, there are a few ways to do that. You could use a matrix or a post-fade aux. Depends on how you use your bus.

Hi I have an Sq5 and I really appreciate your content. It's super easy to follow and I will be for sure be using it for new volunteers!
Do you happen to have a video on how to eliminate feedback by turning down the bad frequencies on the eq?

[@PluggedinAV]

Thanks mate, glad you enjoy it.
I don’t have a video on that subject but my quick tip would be to download a spectrum analyser app on your phone. There are lots to choose from and they help a lot with this.

[@swajact]

@@PluggedinAV good call! I will do that for sure! Cheers!
