RTFM: The Manual You Ignored
The Manual You Ignored Podcast is the no-fluff, slightly sarcastic show where we turn product user guides into audio you can actually use. Each episode breaks down the settings, workflows, and “gotchas” you normally discover five minutes before doors, so you can get the gear working faster, avoid the common mistakes, and spend less time guessing (or panic-Googling). AI helps do the heavy reading; a real human filters it into the parts that matter.

L-Acoustics V-DOSC User Guide
Episode: L-Acoustics V-DOSC (The “Legendary Box” Logistics and Reality Check)
Welcome back to RTFM: The Manual You Ignored—the slightly sarcastic, zero-fluff series where we turn real documentation into real-world understanding. In this episode, we’re working from the L-Acoustics V-DOSC documentation/user guide material to explain what it actually takes to deploy this iconic system correctly: the fundamentals of array behavior, coverage planning, rigging and safety considerations, amplification/processing requirements, and the practical decisions that separate “it’s loud” from “it’s consistent.” We’ll also talk through the classic V-DOSC-era pitfalls—bad angles, mismatched deployment assumptions, and chasing problems with EQ instead of geometry—plus how to think about V-DOSC in a modern workflow when you’re inheriting a rig or working on a legacy inventory. The goal is simple: understand the system’s intent, respect the physics, and make smarter choices before you’re trying to fix it at doors.
