    Done With Inexpensive Moving Lights, Especially Platinum Spot 5R

    Hey there. Sorry, I've been off CB for a while. I don't remember when I left off, but... I have a pair of broken Platinum Spots sitting in my shop right now that will probably be a while before I get to. And I have a pair of Platinum Wash 16RPros. I've only used these a handful of times, but...

    MAC 300 with SACO LED

    How are these lights? I came across them and the price is low enough to make me not care that they're MAC300's.

    You should learn to solder instead of crawl around like a rat. :)

    Backstage Monitor Mic

    No, a compressor is not the right tool for the job here. If you're trying to boost mic level to line level you need a preamp, not a compressor.

    Line Array Puzzle

    In my opinion, the best reason, and others have stated this, is that the subs will usually dictate where the tops end up. So really the subs need to go wherever puts the top boxes in the best coverage pattern for the audience.

    Control/Dimming 3 Pin DMX Gender Changer

    Yep, audio adapters. Although, I would cut the ends off and switch them, but that's just me.

    I haven't mixed theatre in a while, and the only digital I've used was an LS9 where there's no need to change layers. But for me, the way I like to mix theatre requires a certain amount of muscle memory. How is this possible with the current layer based digital consoles? I hate the idea of...

    Audio snake, with connector boxes at BOTH ends?

    The way I understood the OP, he's talking about subsnakes rather than strictly main trunks.

    Audio snake, with connector boxes at BOTH ends?

    I'll also make up a custom snake for you. But I'm not sure if you'll find it any more convenient than the typical box to fan out snakes that you are referring to here. I've never had any of the problems you listed and I've had some of my snakes/cables for over a decade. Maybe a better cable...

    I think saying that any mic choice is "wrong" is just plain.... wrong.

    Any of you using LED pars for front/general lighting small stages ?

    I haven't used a par can in years. I sometimes use Source 4's for specials, but these days my entire non moving light inventory is LED. And I'll be switching over to LED Source 4's this year as well. I prefer a tri- or quad-color fixture, anything that does internal color mixing and avoids...

    Martin Atomic 3000

    Hahaha. Yeah, they're super bright lights. I only have one, but it keeps up for indoors. Outside is where you need quantity. Did you ever try out the "blinder" mode?
