Dual 1/4 Inch jack speakers - connections advice

Hi shameless quest for advice here - if anyone has 2 cents they can donate it would be very much appreciated.

Got hold of two weighty PA looking speakers with dual 1/4 inch jacks and no knowledge of their spec or their past and my limited knowledge is at a loss for the best way to utilise them... exhibit A attached below (please ignore the amp above it's not working)

Land of Overhead Placements

I did some testing of various Oh placements. My room has a low ceiling 6'3 and I find I'm getting some kind of weird comb filtering if I set up OH's to close to the ceiling even though it's completely dead, it's insulation with fabric over it.. not a deliberate treatment setup. Here's some examples of random playing.

It appears as though I've run out of mp3 power.

Soundcraft 200B preamp modifications

Hello all,

I have recently acquired a 24CH, 200B, with the two sweeping mid EQ's.(for $300 I got the mixer and a bunch of other gear). There is no hum in the power supply or the board, no scratchy pots or sliders, and everything seems to work well. I want to use it for recording, using a line off the INSERT jack to LINE IN on my converter.

I have 4 specific questions.

NT1a noise when touching it?

whenever i touch mic it has a weird ringing noise nt1a connected to a fast track solo connected to desktop pc. my mic has issues whats wrong with it. could be my setup not the mic? goes into a Avid fast track solo. Happens with speakers and tv turned of still. I had a CAD M179 a few weeks ago and it wasnt doing this. I was messing with all the pickup patterns on the mic and no ringing.

Best studio monitoring headphones under £80

So, I'm starting my first year of college in a music performance course. I need a pair of decent headphones for under £80.

I have done research but I can't decide what pair will be best for me. I have looked at AKG's, krk's, samson and Sony.

I will be using these in the studio and for mixing tracks. I want a pair that has a nice low end but also keep crisp and clean high's.

Avalon, Focusrite ISA430 MKII, or SPL Frontliner? Which one to get?

Hey guys,
I really need good advice! feedback or anything that can help me choose between these 3 Channel Strips.

I can buy any of these and I need to get one fairly soon. I think I’ve read almost everything online regarding these Channel Strips, but the votes are so 50/50, so can’t make up my mind, especially if you can’t test them all.

Ghost tracks

Hey everyone. I don't know if anyone else has run into this problem but it seems like I've been getting an awful lot of ghost tracks when I'm working on a song... It happens at least once in the last 5 songs I recorded and it is driving me up the wall bc I spent so much time into these songs. I tried deleting the file from the Explorer window but that still doesn't help..

If you were interested in a DAW control surface

Which would you be looking at?

I'm just curious... I've given some thought lately to having an actual surface from which I could work in a more tactile fashion, as opposed to "mousing" every command, particularly when it comes to the mixing end of things.

I'm woefully out of touch with what's out there these days when it comes to control surfaces.
