Thanks for the advice. I'll try it.

The console I am using is a Strand 100 series.

Using DMX control I want to control the house lights in our church from two remote locations in addittion to the lighting console. How can I program three different faders to do the same task and if one fader is left full up will it prevent the other two from having any control? Thanks in...

I intend to purchase some scrollers for our church but being as they will be in the sanctuary it's imperative that they be quiet while scrolling. Any advice on which brands would be best? Thanks Tom

Thanks I will check the allignment on my Source fours to see if it improves the gobo image . Too bad there isn't a thumb screw to slowly advance the barrel . I've found that that simply tightneing the barrel srcew throws the image a bit out of focus. Our ellisoidals are 575 watt by the way...

Does anyone know which of the following ellipsoidals (Souce Four, Strand Leko or Altman Shakespeare produce the sharpest gobo image? I've found that the Source four even with a donut is not that sharp. Also has anybody used the Rosco Image Pro gobo slide projector? It looks pretty cool ...

As soon this guitarist is back preforming I'll pin him down and get more details

Hello We are having a problem with a personal amplifier in our church. The sound tech normally puts a micophone in front of the guitarist's amp to add him to the mix. The guitarist complains that there is an annoying buzz in his amp which only disappears when the mic is muted. Any...

Recently I installed several ellipsoidals to illuminate the stage in our church and I mounted them at the standard 45 degree angle from the floor and 90 degrees apart. The lighting is fine when our pastor is looking at the congregation but when he refers to his notes which is quite often he of...

Maybe I'll try the CF cards I use with my digital camera. I may get lucky.

That was quick. I had puchased the card at Radio Shack and I believe it was a 16X. The reason I 'm not sure is because I sent it to Strand to help them solve my problem. If they'd only tell me what speed to use I'd get one but so far nothing. Tom

My Strand 200 console uses a compact flash card to save programs. My console will allow me to save a show but will not allow me to load a show. I keep getting an error message " CF data error". Strand seems to be puzzled as to what the problem is. They are suggesting it's the speed of the card...

My console (Strand 200 series) allows for a MIDI input to trigger cues and effects. I've used the audio input which of course is based on frequency but I'm wondering should I bother to purchase a din cable for MIDI. Is it that cool and if so how easy is it to set up? Thanks Tom

I have some source fours to install but have very limited room . Does anyone make a mirror attachment that would fit where the gel holder is and would redirect the light at a 90 degree angle? This would allow me to mount the fixture vertically yet aim the light horizontally. Possibly someome has...

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to add color to Par38 lamps. I've noticed around Christmas time Par 38s are available with rather thick plastic covers in a few colors. Are these covers available separately or are there gel holders designed for these lamps that would possibly clip...
