Sanyo and I think Panasonic make a decent line of Ultra Short Throw projectors which can create a 80" image from as little as 13" away. Something like that would have no trouble hanging off a pipe on your truss, and I believe Chief probably make some useful mounts as well for this situation.

I've made a small rig out of pipe and ratchet straps around the column. You could use duve or some other fabric to cover up the strap and pipe closest to the wall, and you can hang lights in all four directions. Just be sure not to scuff up paint or wall paper with your rig.

It's fairly simple to do with qlab and something like a Motu Ultralight. (If you use qlab anyway, this is a great unit to use for sound fx in multiple zones, multi tracks for musicals, or etc.) You can usually get away with just LCR and Subs in an environment that isn't THX certified, but...

I don't have the exact make/models of the ones I've used - but I have had great luck in ballrooms picking up the biggest UPS's I could find short of being rack mounted, and using 1/fixture. In the past I've gotten them to last between 3-4 hours no problem running a straight color on the LED...

I would never replace my trusty IR, but I'm trying to come up with a good solution for when I need a few stingers, bgm, or stock VOs on a small gig where I only have my iPad with me. I have used sports sound pro which is great, but again I need a windows laptop, but I'm looking for a...

I gotta agree with len on this one - DIY is the way to go. A plywood base with two runners to fit the hardware to mount the fixture in a half moon shape, with a piece of black sheet metal or even just luan wrapped around the outside should do the job. If you wanted to get really fancy a sheet of...

No problem! The performers on floats will stay with their rides from the start of the parade on Central Park West. The acts from Broadway shows and the like don't march and are only around for their number.

I've worked it a few years and yes, everything is pre-recorded. The mics are props and the IEMs if the performer chooses to use them are all tied to one or two transmitters (as they are the only ones performing at that time). Performances only take place in Herald Square and can only be heard in...

I was wondering if anyone knew about impedance differences between Clearcom headsets and aviation headsets like the Plantronics MS50. A friend has one he was looking to unload and I thought it may be a fun project to make it work with a clearcom beltpack if its possible, but I don't know to...

I have to say still element or Ion - But if you are doing more than a few movers you may need to step up to a hog

2 years ago this happened to me - in a ballroom for a wedding with the can used at uplight. Client seemed a little pissed and having to clean up shards of glass with guests around wasn't fun either. I was worried though because I didn't know what caused it, and realllly hoped it wasn't something...

The 300s have a lot more punch and have the benefit of color mixing and can work as a wash fixture - plus i have to say I prefer the elation gobos over the mac250s

Good Idea - I'll give them a call monday

I'm looking at 7 IEM systems for a client who also wants an antenna combiner. I was looking at the Sennheiser EW300IEMG3 and the only question remaining relates to the antenna combiner. The only kit I can find specifically for the 300s (G3IEMDIRKIT4) is only for 4 systems, not 7 like the client...

So recently I've seen that with setups with 3 or more subs stacked, one or more is sometimes inverted (sometimes within the box, and other times the whole box itself). What's the benefit of this? is there any special delays that need to be considered when doing it?
