I've sort of used one... it was a very non-demanding application where I just needed a single stereo out and four mics in. Didn't have any issues, but it also definitely the case that no one was listening critically. We were just playing back music and capturing the judges' commentary during a...

There is a terminal-block version as well, but it's not super common.

Also, remember that these things dim, and the color temperature shifts as you dim. It may be that the director is saying "warmer" but actually means more subdued (which also happens to shift warmer). It may also be that they're looking for more contrast/shadows too if the current look is a bit...

Not an acoustician, but my instinct lines up with yours: somewhere in the range of zero to imperceptible. I would also flat out refuse to consider it given the risk of damage to the marley from all the chairs--not to mention errant cello and bass endpins, and all the other pointy things involved.

There is a record/playback option for capturing sACN, (or Art-Net, etc), or DMX (with appropriate interfaces) using a Raspberry Pi and OLA. I played with it a bit for a project last summer that was controlling a large pixel array, but ended up going a different route due to timing issues. If...

I know I found a tube & coupler scaffold design guide that had a variety ratings several years ago when looking into it for a scenic design, but I'm not finding that exact guide now from a quick search. I did find info from this vendor that has torque values and slip ratings for their...

Please clarify what you mean by horizontal vs. vertical loading... in this case, don't the cross-pipes that the fixtures are hanging from present a vertical load on the clamps? If so, that would also describe the forces on all of the horizontal pipes used to support work platforms with tube &...

I have S4LED Series 1 fixtures with cyc adapters and I have to tilt them down for clearance every time we set our orchestra shell, so I end up refocusing them very frequently. The trick I figured out was to do one very careful focus off a ladder, then bring the electric in to low trim and bring...

And not only that, but any use in a pipe grid is going to be pretty darn similar to the type of scaffolding applications they were designed for, and there is engineering data readily available that could easily be used/adapted to help you determine whether a particular application is safe. Not...

I hadn't heard of it before, so I was doing some reading on MTI's website and found this FAQ that includes a note about a free trial version. Apparently it's a fully functional trial of the first few songs in a given package, so you should be able to get a sense of how it sounds.

I believe the wired com connections on the BTR800 are configurable for either ClearCom or RTS, so what you have now makes sense if I understand it correctly. I think you can configure the A & B sides individually, so you could potentially use the RTX stuff on one side and the PI/ClearCom...

I would guess price... but Plyron isn't exactly cheap either.Contractors at one of my schools did just use MDO to patch a section of floor right in front of the main door to the stage, so it will be interesting to see how that holds up. It will see a lot of concentrated wheeled traffic in...

Pictures of everything would help a lot in being able to provide suggestions. My immediate response is that if you think their position change has to do with fasteners working loose, then what makes you think they're not in imminent danger of falling? That sounds a bit disturbing... but if it...

You are indeed remembering correctly that NET2 doesn't play nicely with IGMP. I don't know if there's a way to make it work, but the standard configuration I would use for sACN definitely breaks EDMX/NET2. Disabling IGMP snooping entirely in the switch would be a good troubleshooting step.

I don't necessarily disagree with this, but there's a very big difference between "Can I troubleshoot this?" and "Do I have time to troubleshoot this?" There's also the closely-related question of "How much do I trust this person to do what I tell them (and tell me what they're doing...
