2024 Marching Audio: Reedy High School

The Reedy HS setup is unique in that they have a Yamaha TF-Rack in their synth cart as opposed to a TIO1608-D stage box. The TF-Rack actually is able to send audio data to the Dante network, which the TF5 in the mixer cart pulls in to actually mix and send to the speakers. Interestingly, this means that the gain settings for all of the front ensemble microphones is actually set in the TF-Rack, not the TF5.
What's also interesting is that the QSC speakers they purchased have passthroughs built, though the passthroughs connect the "2+ 2-" ports, not the "1+ 1-" as we're used to seeing with the old method of modifying Yamaha subs.

I've installed a few driveracks in small venues before where there's a mixer behind the bar to control music, a set of wireless mics and sometimes a DJ. It's perfect for those kinds of venues where there is rarely a sound engineer present. I can come in when something is off or needs to be changed, log into it with an iPad and quickly see what's going on to fix the issue. Never have I used one when there's a sound engineer present, I've always used either a main with an aux for sub control or used a couple of matrixes from the board.
