Mixers/Consoles Share Your Script Trays?

[Joe Wilson]

Hey everyone!

I'm currently installing a new PA and mixer system in my theatre, and I'd love to see what's out there in the world of script trays that work well with digital desks.

I'm putting in a Vi3000, but I'd love to see all sorts. Do you have a favorite setup? Do you prefer a music stand on a boom to a rolling script tray on the desk surface?

I'm moving from the analog world where there was plenty of console surface real estate to plop down a three-ring binder on top of the EQ and Aux sends, but now it looks like something that will roll out of the way is the best idea.

I usually like a tray that’s attached to a boom so I have the freedom to move it around if it’s in my way. Not really a fan of the rolling script trays because it prohibits access to things on the desk such as scribble strips

Thanks! Do you use a mic stand boom or something like an adjustable monitor mount?

I'm still looking for a dead stand to make a script tray on a monitor arm like Gafftaper (I think) made a few years back. I've seen some beautiful custom roller trays that fit some of the digico boards that have come through our space, but I'm still on a big M7 so an arm clamped to the desk will give me the most mobility.

I finally found it.
