Tried searching here and elsewhere, replacing crispy sockets on a theater's 360Q collection since they got tired of only being able to use a small fraction of their inventory. Go ahead and mock me for using fixtures made 10 years before me. I've got 2 that need grounds repaired/replaced...

I'm going the DIY route with a 6->3 adapter. Bought 2 sets of connectors, should hopefully get one working adapter out of it. (My soldering is that bad). Had hoped someone knew of a vendor with an off the shelf item I could have ordered.

I'm in an auditorium this summer with 6 pin male jacks scattered all over for 2 channel (RS-502) clear com. Unfortunately, I need to add some more stations and all I've got are single channel (3 pin) packs (RS-501) available for the borrowing.Does the opposite of a YC-36 (2 X 3pin F -> 6 pin...

Given that most modern consoles are really off the shell PCs under the hood, 3-5 years hardware support is probably best you can hope for. My day job is IT for a research university. It is a challenge finding both drivers for new parts that work on old versions of Windows or old components...

If it was true 15/70 IMAX, the projection booth will have power, but you will need a real electrician to get at it. An old school small 35mm setup I ran in college used 20A 3ph for a 2KW lamp and had a 1/4 horse motor driving the projector itself, plus 20A circuits for the sound system and...

Its been ruled arson. https://www.wtnh.com/news/connecticut/fairfield/2-teens-charged-with-arson-in-shakespearetheatre-fire/1908909870

Not that it will matter much, but if you can't get the Emphasis software, the Net2 software runs in Windows 7, and that at least is Microsoft supported through 1/20/2020.If I remember from last time I used it, our Server was only SP1 or SP0 for XP. *DO NOT CONNECT TO A LIVE NETWORK*. The...

Managed. Managed all the way, and I mean truely managed with a serial port option, not "Smart" or web. (Web interfaces are ok, but the ones that are web only tend to be lower end) My day job is high performance super computing, not entertainment, but here are the things I look for: 1.)...

Replying to all of these now that I've got the time to do so:Sweat/pack placement: When I switched her from a QLX-D at 523 to one at 473, nothing else changed including pack placement and proximity to skin. The mic packs are all in neoprene pouches, and hers was dry when I removed it for the...

I'm working on an outdoor production of Throughly Modern Millie. 12 Shure QLX-D, 2 Audio-technica 3000, 6 Audio-technica 2000 series wireless channels. All channels are on OEM antenna distribution systems with OEM 1/2 wave antennas. I've got a piece of drywall, a piece of 1/2" ply, followed...

Did you go to the spectrum tab and put in your zip before running the calculations so it knew where the TV stations were?

Wow. I punched your zip into Wireless workbench, and put in all your < 600 MHz gear. You've got a lot of close (10-20 mi) TV transmitters. Hopefully there's some spectrum left for you in UHF after the repack. Using the "Robust" setting in WWB (which works really well for me up north), I...

What console do you have now? What do you like about it? What do you hate about it?

If you have Unison Legacy, check and see if you have the configuration app on there. Its not downloadable, and is a Win16 app, so the ability to run it on modern systems poses some challenges (it will not run on a 64 bit version of Windows)

What do you currently have for speakers/amps? What's between the console and the speakers for processing? What don't you like about the current setup?
