micke Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Here is a pic of my soundcart I buildt a few years back. Still being improved, of coarse. It is based on magliner, modified with shelves and stands for booms, antennas etc. It can hold two 35 Ah batterys but usually I only use one, the other batteryholder goes to the wireless utility bag, wich is the same size. Two lentequip cabledrums can also fit on the bottom, giving easily 50m of video cable if needed. It can either hold my Ad 256 or as here a drawerkit. In this production I need quickly to go off-cart so the mixer is too fuzzy. All the antennasplits are done in the bag. So one has to switch the powersource and replace the sharkfins with wips, mounted on the harness, and off you go. As antennas I use rf venue's comboantenna, for critical applications I replace the small ones with a helical of the same brand. I used to have two sharkfins, but after modifying the lectros to the new frequencys here in Finland I had to replace those. Been pretty happy with the rf venue's, despite the very interesting discussion taken place here about using them with non-diversity (almost-diversity) receivers. But they shure are nice in transport;) The power is a PSC powestrip together with a charger capable of refreshing the battery , so it can be plugged and unplugged withouth noticing anything else than a slight drop in the voltage. The small wheels could be a bit bigger, but it has proved itself to be quite good in terrain, the low weighpoint helps. And for me it has worked without frontwheels, you never have to whorry about the cart doing some rolling on its own. Insted of wheels it has two "wobbly" rubber dampers, taking away some stress during transport and on cartrailers. We have shared some nice moments, so she has deserved a name. She is called Lady Pirina. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olle Sjostrom Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Nice looking cart. But the smiley reflects my SHOCK over Senator's reply. HOW did you do that!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olle Sjostrom Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 And always nice to see another Scandinavian on the board. Wish I knew more Finnish, and I wish I knew how to spell it properly but anyway, here goes: Tervetuola! I also know ei sa peitää... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VASI Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 I predict the fan was for personal cooling system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micke Posted August 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 Olle: nice start with the finnish studies. Ääni käy- is finnish for "rullar", can be good to know;) Vasileios: you are totally right! I made different fans for a job in a very hot Kurdistan, nothern Iraq, with degrees up to 52C (125F). The gears did not need them in the end but I sure did. Have been carrying one with me ever since, nice with a breeze of air between takes in hot interiors;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olle Sjostrom Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 Micke Can you me more specific about the drawer kit? Brand etc? Thanks Micke may correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the drawers are of Raaco brand, which is a Finnish (?) brand.. Real good plastic boxes for bits and pieces.

micke Posted August 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Soundguy, Olle is right, is a Raaco handybox http://www.raaco.com/productsdetails-1122.aspx?ProductID=136242&VariantID= Santtu, it is not that heavy, the mixer ads a bit of weigth if used. Tapio, next time;) its been too long since the last common gig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
