For ten years now, I've been asking friends whether they'd like to invest in the development of a "snakeless" PA mixer.
"Snakeless" means that the mixer mixes sound without being hooked up to that big bundle of wires that goes up on stage to all the microphones. The snakeless mixer board isn't hooked up to the microphones - at least, not directly. The snakeless mixer does it all by radio.
My Snakeless Mixer paradigm mixes sound by remote control, using a radio control system (in fact, it uses the same kind of radio hookup you might have on your car security system). In a simplistic sense, the snakeless mixer is a lot like having 32 remote controls for 32 television or stereo sets, so you can turn the volume up or down on any one of them, or all of them - except that the snakeless mixer provides volume control for 32 different stage mikes, or instrument amplifiers.
I know how I would do this, of course - but I'm not telling, because I've invested a lot of time in it. I've thought about this thing for 10 years or more, before figuring out how to do it.
What's unique about what I've come up with, is the simple communications "protocol" I have devised for transporting the control signals. The method I ultimately devised is really quite simple.
In fact, it's actually ingenious - but I'm not divulging anything to anyone who doesn't first hire me.
Interested?
