6x9 and more profiles

[eamon]

Hi all

As i am based in Ireland, I have a few problems remembering what type of profiles a 6x9, 6x22 6x12 etc are

I would be grateful if some one could indicate the beam angles that these are and give me an idea as to how the 6 & other number are arrived at.

or a link to a site that will do just this

cheers

6x9-36 deg
6x12-26 deg
6x16-19 deg
6x22-10deg
6x4.5-50 deg

These are not exact, but this is what is accepted at standard in most places

and the other measurement is the length from the gate to the end of the barrel (roughly)

Many thanks for the info. This time I will write it down

cheers

out of curriosity what is the equivalent for a 8 x 13

[RiffRaff54]

i believe that a 8x13 is about 12°

thank you, that doesnt seem like a common degree to use

Shakespear's come in a fixed 12°, we use them at my work a lot

what do you guys use them for specificaly? or is it too varied

[RiffRaff54]

we use them for our FOH catwalks

ok, i typicaly need to use 36's or 26's depending upon where im at on the foh. its very close to the stage... so i will assume yours is farther and you can use the small angle and still have a large pool
