    searching for XPC LED Par user manuals

    I've got a few cheap Chinese made LED pars that I bought several years ago and now need to put them into master/slave mode (sidebar - have we, as an industry, come up with an alt term for master/slave?)I've cycled thru all the menu options, and not finding anything that works. Does anyone...

    mounting a hanging choir mic for outdoor performance

    I'm considering using some Audio-technica 45s for an outdoor play (hand-me-downs from the choir teacher, so the price is right). Being outdoors, we obviously don't have a way to hang them, so are looking at mounting them around the set to pick up my unmic'd actors. I'd like to mount a couple on...

    Another revival from the dead - How does the noise of the color changer compare to the Altman? We're in a gymnatorium middle school situation, and where our spots have to live, the "ka-CHUNK" of the frame changing is ridiculously noticeable.Its time to replace one of my spots anyway, and...
