This is what happens when you get a "value-engineered" booth, a 24 channel off-brand (Electronics Diversified) light board along a with a 18 channel mixer in a space to small to require reinforcement. The stage manager sits on a stool behind the sound and light people to call cues. The window is a reinforced (bars going through it) fire window that is too small. Doing a show next week in a school district PAC, will post a picture then.
 
500 seat high school auditorium. Booth is the 2nd floor balcony. Half-height window for stupid safety regs makes hearing anything interesting.

(Sorry for the crappy cell phone pictures, it's all I had at the time)

The lighting side:

Hog 3 PC. The two spots are outside the doors on the wings, along with 2 Martin Mac 2000s.

And the sound side:

Actually,
EDI (Electronics Diversified, Inc) isn't an off-brand, having been around for several decades. EDI is a second-tier manufacturer, along with Leprecon, Zero88, NSI and others. (First tier would be ETC, Strand, etc).

Off brand examples are Chauvet, American DJ, Behringer.

I just noticed after posting that this is post number 1234 for me.

In fact, at one time (1970's) EDI and TTI were the top of the line!

.....and I have both sitting in my basement. EDI packs are still going strong, the old 2.4k Blue TTI 6 packs are in a pile waiting to be hauled up a floor and to the dumpster as soon as our elevator works again.

Are they like these?

If so, I would be glad to take them off your hands, as we can always use more parts.
 
Still have a bunch of the really old EDI (2 - 7.6v) The stuff just never dies. Just sitting in the shed. One day, I'll probably replace the pre-opto electronics with a DMX firing board. Problem is, I would still have to lift the stuff and it's the weight of a boat anchor.... Maybe next year.. or so..
 

This is a wide shot of our lighting booth (also doubles as my office).
The sound booth also used to be in this room... now it is in the back of the house... where it should be.
 
The picture is fuzzy; that's an Innovator 48/96. It does look a bit like a Millenium from a distance... :)
 
Well Tex, so far you get the award for the cleanest, most organized booth I have ever seen! Not even a coffee cup!

Wait till I get a picture of my booth after Spring Break ends.... then you'll see clean. >:)

I suppose the booth looks a bit more professional in this picture than it does now, assuming the coloring book pictures are still on the wall in place of the Apollo gobo poster...
