    Control of subwoofer or not?

    I've seen systems where control of subs is on the "mono" out, while the rest of the array is L/R. Am I correct in assuming that is different than the question of aux fed or not?

    How Can Changing AC Sockets Cure Hum?

    I apologize in advance for derailing this thread further, but...What happens when the live and neutral wire are switched? I have never seen the effects of this, and am curious as to what would happen. Also, in another thread (about video wall power supply, I believe) it was mentioned that what...

    Matching Gels with Moving lights: Rogue R2 Spot

    The theatre I volunteer with has recently purchased two Chauvet Rogue R2 Spots. We are hoping to find some gels for our conventionals that will allow us to match colours with the ones on the R2's colour wheel. While I am aware of the massive spectrum difference of the two light sources, I was...

    Projection Software for a church

    At the church I work at, they have asked me to spec out a new laptop for projection. Coming with that is the question of software. We currently run EasyWorship 2009 to put lyrics and verses up on-screen. The pastor likes to use PowerPoint for sermons, because he can control it with a remote. My...

    LED lights for my kids' school.

    If you're looking for a budget LED PAR with good colour, take a look at the Blizzard ProPar Seven-6. I had the chance to demo a bunch recently, and was impressed with the quality, considering the price point. Also, they're tiny, which helps in a low ceiling.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    C-Clamps for Moving Lights

    Thanks for the info. As a side note, those fixtures are very impressive. I knew they would be punchy coming in, but it's different seeing it in person!Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    C-Clamps for Moving Lights

    This may seem like a dumb question, but better safe than sorry, right? So, I want to hang a Chauvet Rogue R2 Spot. I have the brackets that come with the fixture. The C-Clamp says Max 500# on it. The Fixture is under 50#. My math skills would suggest that is sufficient, but are there factors...

    LED as ACL?

    Would somebody mind clarifying what the OP means by "ACL"? It may be something obvious, but not all theatre terminology is the same.Also, I'm pretty sure it's not "anterior crucible ligament".

    Auto-tune and new music

    I guess then I should clarify my opening statement. What I was referring to was not click tracks, or even backing tracks. I think that backing tracks allow for more instruments to be present than normal, and thus add to the performance (especially if it's a solo artist). Bands using a click...

    Auto-tune and new music

    I'm curious. I hear a lot of people say new music is all auto tuned, or the singers aren't actually singer, just lip-synching. I've wanted to know for awhile: is there any truth to that? If you did sound for a gig that wanted to do that, is that the kind of thing they make you swear to never...

    SJO cable in a theater

    I would like to ask one thing about this whole SO thing:Is there an electrical reason why we use SO cable? Or is it simply because the heavier insulation protects it better from smashing, crushing, or slicing?Second, SO is a PITA to strip. Is there an effective tool for doing that, other...

    This may not be the point, but, correct me if I'm wrong...Is the power cable the only thing holding that pipe up? Those steel cables do not look connected.

    Why rooster?

    They develop the habit of hanging at 45 degrees from plumb..."from badly designed catwalks."At our theatre, we have to hang at close to 50 to 60 degrees from plumb. Our catwalk must be REALLY badly designed.

    Wait...did the OP just say that? He called us round holes!
