Juliette Street upgrade

2010-02-08T16:05:00.013Z

problem:

mixer sits on top of the mixing desk, resulting in a mess of wiring, poor "space allocation" and it just "doesn't look cool":

solution: make "a big friggin hole" in the desk and drop the mixer in.

1:

made the hole "this big" - the plan is to dangle a "sub deck" with carriage bolts (so I can adjust the mixer height to "flush" with the upper deck.

2:

"the sub deck"... dangling

3:

I discovered - during the first install attempt - that the 3/4 MDF wouldn't allow the rear of the mixer to "go flush" and some of my cabling on the rear of the mixer wouldn't "fit well". That's what routers are for : )

4:

done!
