Food for thought. Where would a guy sell a used heavy, big console? Classified on Control Booth.

Thanks for the responses. FOr the most part, our high school theater does basic plays, a musical and big winter multi-arts. 18-24 wireless for plays with some CDs, ipods, MacBook inputs. Matrix, aux, sub and channels out for FX, feeds to various needs, recording, etc. The big multi-arts uses...

Nice additions. I thought 32 was my range since price is a consideration. We have comp/limit on each of 18 AT 3000 series Lavs. I considered the LS9 and whatever modules I would need to add 8-16 more XLR inputs. Any chance Allen and Heath has anything nice?

I just got the call that our district office is willing to replace our old Yamaha 36-channel analog console in our theater. Budget somewhere from $10k to $14k. I have been looking into the Yamaha LS9-32, but would like a few more channels. I need to have XLR inputs from legacy mics...

That Video CG System I linked to from Compix Media is list $3595.00 Might be able to find one on eBay or used equipment sites from those who have upgraded to HD.

The obvious, but not free option is a CG. With a CG you can have a bug ID and text displayed over your video and give it a professional touch that will make it look broadcast. CompactCG AnalogHowever, if you have no money, there is the old school way. Your switcher has a composite key for...

Recently I had the same dilemma. I found an artist who rapped over an MP3. he was really good, clean and entertaining. Also, believe it or not...The Macarena, Cha Cha Slide and Hokey Pokey got the crowd up on their feet. Did I mention this was a high school event where kids are usually too cool...

When will the Mac version be ready for download? :-)

Even a wireless IP camera needs a power source. You might look into a CCTV security camera system for little $ that powers it's cameras from the recorder/monitor. Here is a cheap camera that I have in my studio. I run a video and power cord about 75-feet from the camera to our control room and...

budgetI have about $600 for the pair of mics. Maybe a bit more since I already have a recorder in my stock. I originally thought of buying three of the Countryman M2HP4FF50W/ISOMAX-2 mics and hanging them center, left and right in front of our thrust stage. But a friend who does some...

Thanks for all the advice. Now as I ponder adding a stereo pair of microphones to record my ensembles, I need recommendations of brand, model etc...This link was quite helpful, thanks to the original poster in this thread.STEREO MICROPHONE TECHNIQUES

I agree with Brad$100 scalers from Markertek are not eh way to go unless you have very few options. Markertek does have a 100%satisfaction guarantee, but who knows what that really means: re-stocking fee, shipping both ways, in-store credit...

Scalers Price isn't always reflective of qualityIn the past I have paid thousands for Extron scalers and thought that they look as good as a cheaper Kramer piece. It depends o the situation and length of run to the projector/monitor. In the past I have scan converted down VGA so that I could...

Craigslist?Have you checked craigslist? You can search a few cities. I have seen quite a few DJs and/or bands clearing out their gear on Craigslist. Look in musical instruments or electronics. Also, you might consider Shure PG48 or PG58 mics. They include a 15' XLR to XLR or XLR to 1/4"...

It isn't my tradition and it looks a little Gestapo. But I am trying to not fight their culture. It will die over time and become Dickies blacks and probably a brother label machine last name sticker on their shirts. They seem to like those toys.
