Pro concert audio, very big company. I’m a shop guy, got added to “road staff” for a local gig. Nice bucks, no big deal as it’s a local gig, sorta thing I used to do all the time. Well I blew up a speaker. Not the first in my career, nor the last. This speaker, I asked for as I thought the rig wasn’t properly spec’ed. Pitched to account exec and everything. My shop job is amplifier tech. So I managed to fuck up what I do every day, on a gig I’m “questionably” qualified for, on an item I kinda demanded.... We didn’t need that specific box at all over the weekend, show would have gone on no matter, but I’m waiting for this absolute fuck-up to come to light. Coworker on gig and speaker repair guy know, I certainly ain’t gonna deny it, but this is not a good thing for the further weekend gigs, or the fact that I’m on to get promoted to head of amps in 9mo.... Not getting fired, just a real setback. Fuckin amateur mistake. I’ve almost finished the fat slice of humble pie. And y’know what, I deserve that because I was obviously getting a lil too big for my britches, more hubris than humility. Tldr I’m a fuckin idiot Update, speaker bro checked it and nothing is broken. Protection circuit caps absorbed the current. Still metered inf resistance when I measured. Beyond my depth (fuckin obviously). Guy in charge of the gig said no big deal, thanked me for reporting it, and said the guys upstairs have much bigger issues, like if we have enough equipment on this continent for the crazy, jeezusy rapper if he decides to do another giant show, ha. I’ve become very ambitious at work, which is good. Just gotta deliver....
