getting a line out of a cheap in house PA system

[Craig Alan]

Thank you!!!

I found a splitter in an old small rack mount case someone was throwing away. They had some of those cheap receivers (2 channels) in there which were either broken or they upgraded. But there were some perfectly good interconnects inside the box. When I get back to work I’ll do a search on the splitters and see if it is like the one you are recommending. That’s what I love about audio — everything could be ok or NOT.

I wish I could go back in time. When I worked in the studios I paid attention to what the lighting designer/gaphers were doing, what the talent and director were doing, set designer, etc. Can’t even recall the audio techs — like they were this invisible crew that somehow never had a problem. Now if i get good sound or even decent sound in a run and gun situation, I am proud of myself or my students for pulling it off. The hardest part of production bar none.

Ugh,

My apologies to all for the iPad auto-correct in play here.

Inteligibility, not indelibility. Lav not lab. etc, etc, etc,

Sorry.

I started to write a post with iPad at lunch and after several mistakes, including the overly zealous auto spell correction that created unwanted words, I went back to reading and left my posting when I could get back to my “legacy” computer and keyboard.

Besides, Bill, no one was confused. We all got what you meant and point well taken. Except, I don’t think we should set a low bar if we don’t have to.
