Sherlock Holm

Our sound system today handles 3.600 watts. A normal system for small a restaurant is about 400 - 800 watts. Our music is distributed over 9 amplifiers and spread on the stage, the restaurant roofs, toilets, swimming pool area, terrace and for our monitoring.

I have noticed a power loss in the right side network lately and I could not understand why.
Today I found the reason. Look at the picture. Something heavy have been placed on the 12 meter long cable feeding the amplifiers from our mixer. The right side wire is almost totally cut off. A small error like this will be magnified hundreds of times when the volume is cranked up on a powerful system like this. Fixed it today and can now sleep in peace again.
