The PA system was loaned out to some folk singer songwriters

There was a benefit concert for the Alliance to End Homelessmess and we loaned our PA out to this. I found I do not know how to operate the AudioPro AP812 mixer properly. Also the speaker cables I bought from Futureshop were noisy and unreliable. I won't be buying music gear from Futureshop in the future. I was temped by credit in this case. I much prefer layaways at proper music stores to finance equipment purchases. We managed with a more professional sound tech who brought his Allen and Health mixing board for the initial stage mix. We only used the AP812 in mono to power the speakers. I think, we could use one more monitor speaker. We also used the Trace Elliot TR100 acoustic guitar amp as a monitor.
