My wife is setting up a full PA system at Armadillo Ranch for the first time, so I spent the week getting every piece of my PA ready for her - zeroing out the console, building new XLR cables, labeling every cable I own, and packing it all into road cases.

Next video: she sets all of this up by herself.
