I haven't included any runs because I won't know what they want yet, or how much of the (future) system I will be able to install. But yes, I was planning to run the cables from the booth to stage, and also from the booth to a closet 20-30 feet to the left of the booth and then drill a hole through the wall into the
auditorium, installing a box and a plate. I would do conduit down the stage walls to protect the wires.
I was thinking
Channel A would be for Communication between tech crew and I was thinking about two options for Channel B: 1) For stage crew use and Tech Director or 2) For a paging system in the backstage rooms. I included the 2-channel belt pack for the
Stage Manager so that either option for Channel B would work.
I was thinking most would be one female
XLR plates for Channel A (or B in the future,) but I would do one or two on stage with two female XLR jacks for Channels A and B and possible one by the mixer that could do Channel A and B with the purchase of a two-channel Belt pack, depending on what Channel B will be for. As of now, I don't plan on having any for follow spots and only one BP permanently on stage with one extra that can roam between backstage and tech crew if needed. When I do get some for follow spots I will just run cable(s) from the booth if I get a splitter.
