You can connect it directly to the mic high and low but keep in mind that the telex or other brand of communication box your using must have the ability to use both electret and dynamic mics. The ones used for these phone handsets have a switch inside that turns on the electret mic function and...

Speaking from the experience of using multiple different models of cannon pro cameras including the xf105, I can tell you that they will not hold there sync on free run after they are turned off though they will hold sync if they are put on "lock" or sleep. I do believe though that the you can...

How about just buying plain orange or bright colored t-shirts for the people in charge? If there is not that many people in charge and you buy plain t-shirts it should not cost much. Target has $5 shirts.

We have two Altman comments that we use on a regular basis. I have found that when the fixture is used at the extremes of its zoom it is prone to light leaks. Im also thinking that if your frame holder is broken and spring no longer functioning your gel frames may be traveling too far and coming...

When you say the mics work when on the stage alone do you mean one mic at a time?If this is the case it would seem like when there are more mics on the stage together they are inter-modulating with each other creating interference. Even though each mic is tuned to a different frequency they...

I have also built a go button system out of a usb keyboard. Used some arcade game switches and a project box. If anyone is interested I can take some pictures or draw up a wiring diagram. It is pretty straight forward to do. As tyler.martin said the only problem with this method is keeping q lab...

I to have a Hakko fx888, I love mine. Coming from using a cheep 15 dollar iron this thing is amazing. I scored it for only 40 bucks on eBay, though if I had to pay the full normal price I would not have bought it.

I second the (lor) light o Rama controller. It has software for designing light shows but also can accept dmx with a easy to make adapter.
