    Cutting portable sprung floor to size

    I just find harlequin very overpriced for what it is, the rosco dance floors are a way better value. FWIW too... drop a line to Mark Morris's production dept. PM me if you don't have that contact. They have a floor design they build themselves that they have toured with for decades and it...

    Cutting portable sprung floor to size

    Call them direct. They'll make you a custom piece. Also, I have always found harlequins products way overpriced for what they are. Look at the Rosco floor, its a better buy.

    New Gig.... Monitor Mix question

    They certainly could be pre-fade. When you throw the mute, it mutes everything on the channel, pre fade or post fade. Doesn't matter. So, if that is how you want the world to work where you are throwing mutes, then go that way.

    New Gig.... Monitor Mix question

    Set the body mics to post fade in those mixes. Set everything in band to pre fade for their mixes. Alternative is to run mutes vs dropping the fader.... but if you are doing line by line mixing that won't work.Our venue owns 2 Pro2's, I'm mixed on them extensively, so if you have any...

    Shehds shootout?

    I bet reliability is way better than you would expect. All SHEHDS is doing is putting a real branding on the short run stuff that has existed in China for years. I think they are also attaching real documentation to it. Could you fill a rider with any of it... no. Could you build an events...

    ETCP Problem Help

    Outside of installs, nope. That is the only place I see it anymore is when working on capital projects. Its an easy way to make sure your vendor at least has someone who might know whats up.

    ETCP Problem Help

    You need to define inventory.... and I think this question is actually asking what is the least number of dimmers you can take. Personally, we all know we'd just take the 96 rack and two 24 ways and call it a day. But, they want to know how many dimmers you need at a minimum.So... to power...

    LED Cycs

    Its a strip unit. You mount them yoke to yoke, just like we used to with R40's or zip strips. They are designed to do that.

    Quality of audio "Sinfonia"/"OrchExtra"/"InstrumentalEase"

    I bet it depends on when the show came online. Last time I touched that system was 20-ish years ago and ya... it sounded like a bad midi controller... because it was. We ended up just re-recording it to mini disc for rehearsal use and never used it for the actual show.

    LED Cycs

    I have colorforce 72's V1 on my cyc... going on 9 years with them. Its the only way I'd go, no question about it. You want as many feet of them as you have cyc. So, in your case 5 units w/ the cyc lens will do it. If you are in a position you can buy used, you can buy the V1's for a grand...
