Good idea or no?For our One Acts show this year we want to try wireless projection again. (For those that don't know, One Acts is a traveling group where the set up and take down time are 5 minutes exactly) The last time we tried this, it went flawlessly except for our student stage manager...

So I have recently adopted an Altec model 9440A amplifier and a set of woofers and tweeters to match. I have checked all of the speakers with a working amp and they operate flawlessly, but I can not get this amp to work with the speakers.I took the amp to some local audio proffesionals...

How exactly would the signal get out of phase in the first place? In theory I am sending the exact same signal from the mixer to the two mic jacks on either side of the stage (I know that the "Y" multiplier in the patch bay is wired correctly). Does that mean that on one of the XLRs connecting...

Hello everyone,In our auditorium we normally have a mono system (mounted dead center above the apron) but due to its age the amp is acting up rendering the system useless (a local professional will service the system soon).In the mean time we are using our 2 portable speakers (Mackie SRM...

Thanks, this just gave me another idea as well. We have some talented sew-ers and other costume workers that may be able to sew up a small pouch for our specific mic packs. Maybe we could then spray the pouch with something like that to provide a water resilient covering for the mic that is more...

Hello all,I have a skeptical idea I thought I would ask about.We as a high school are trying to avoid using condoms to protect our wireless mics, despite that they seem to be the best option that everyone uses. Recently at a production meeting we were brainstorming alternatives and someone...

Hello all, I pose a very interesting and difficult question and challenge. We have an ETC Sensor+ 96 channel dimming system in our auditorium here. It is very nice, works great with no problems. This is primarily controlled by our ETC Express board via plain DMX. Now we hooked up an old...

Yes this is possible. You will need a Clear-Com pack that has a detachable headset. You will also need a pair of 4 XLR adapters (or whatever the headset plugs into the pack with) one male, one female. Look up the pin wiring for a clear-com headset (there is an older thread that contains it on...

Hello all,During a dress rehearsal we were using wireless mic packs, recently serviced with brand new industrial grade energizer AA batteries. I got a complaint from one actor that their pack was burning them and, never having had this ever happen before I had her come to the booth. When I...

Hey all. For our local One Act play we are trying to make the operation of the system as simple as possible as we only have one Technician to run both the lights and the sound. Luckily the show is very tech-light which gives us opertunity to have a little technical freedom. So all of the show...

Hey all, I was rummaging the room where things go to die (aka the long term storage of our auditorium) and found this shiny looking mircophone. Its a "Shure Brothers Incorporated Model PE 585 High Impedance Unisphere A Dynamic" microphone. I did a bit of googling and found out little about it...

I've put some serious thought into the aspect of a computer as a sound mixer and I definitely see the possibilities. (Thus I'm replying to this old thread) I've been thinking about experimenting and trying to do it myself because the next production I'm doing requires complex sound mixing yet I...

Thanks! I should've elaborated here is my output plan I have 3 USB RCA interfaces at my disposal. Each has a right and a left output, giving my computer 6 individual outputs. Now using a sound cue system/software would I be able to then save a specific setting for the audio file? Also would I...

Hey Everyone,Here's my situation: Our High School is putting on a production of Little Shop of Horrors and the director wants realistic sound effects. Now its simple enough to do a lightning strike and thunder effect over just one speaker, but I decided it wasn't good enough for me, I wanted...
