What screws are you replacing exactly?
What screws are you replacing exactly?
Hmmm, maybe worth drilling into my Friedman board. The way the feet are shaped very little of the FM9 makes contact with the board.
The rubber feet are designed to maintain a certain height off the floor in order that the air duct under the board can circulate air through the side vents. If you remove the rubber feet, you'd need to be sure the air duct is not blocked. The solution would be to keep the feet on, and be sure there are perforations that would allow air flow where the duct is located. That, and the FM9 L/R side ducts need about an inch space for air flow.
You could do that. Or use 3M 3550 Dual Lock. A 1" piece on each rubber foot and your FM9 will be quite solidly mounted. I wouldn't pick it up by the FM9 and shake it but it ain't going anywhere in normal usage.
That’s what I did. Seems to be ok but not as good as screwed down.
Yeah you won't get much more solid than screws.
It’s a Seismic Audio ATA 26”. I’ve had it for years. I simply flipped it over (opposite as designed), mounted feet on the underside and use the intended lid as the bottom. The rear of FM9 is propped up on a piece of 1” aluminum angle (home depot) I cut and mounted to the case at the ends with self tapping screws , so it floats. The front of the FM9 is held down by two metal shelf brackets I bent in that shape and then spray painted with plastidip. Those were fastened down with screws through the case and cut off any excessive screw poking through. A pretty easy build actually. Played with a band last night with this rig and it was a joy to use. Setup/teardown in about two minutes. Used my Friedman as power amp. The rig sounded so damn good too… but we know that already.
Thanks. First live show went quite well
Sorry...been on vacation so I didnt see this. I am using the same solution as my FM3 on the DUO 24. I cut the end off an IEC cable and use a locking end that I got off amazon. It's super easy to do and meant to use the spliced end. They have different orientations so lookout for that and get the one you want. I have the up/down version.

Lol - it's an aluminum folding clipboard for set lists that I'm hoping I can do away with when I figure out the sets/songs feature in the FM9
The hole to the right is for my mic stand that clips into the inside of the case lid when not in use.
Clean setup!
If I may, drilling out one of the larger access holes, sanding the edges down with metal sandpaper and tapping the edges over with electrical tape provides the best solution. Locate a 18" or 2' IEC cable that can connect to a power supply underneath, or buy a Temple Audio IEC module that can connect to the closer side of your TA board. Standard IEC including Temple Audio IEC does not fit thru the undrilled access holes.
I respectfully disagree with this. Although that works, a better solution (totally just my opinion) is to cut and resolder an IEC cable, using heat shrink for the internal wires and then the outer wire. This works well and doesn't require making permanent alterations to the temple board. It also results in a cleaner looking install.
