    Vintage Lighting Wanna guess...

    We have quite a few of those here at my theatre. Have actually used them a time or two in the past year.

    ETC Express Bad Floppy Drive?

    We have an old ETC Insight that the floppy disk drive started doing that to us. We just took a floppy disk out of an old computer we have in storage and swapped it out. Not sure what changes were made between the Insight and the Express, but I would assume the same could be done.

    Emergency Lighting

    This past weekend we had to cancel a symphony concert and evacuate the building due to a power outage caused by a blown transformer. This incident has cause some discussion on the amount of time the emergency lighting is supposed to last. Our current emergency lighting lasts approx. 30...

    Hopefully someone out there can help us with this issue. Our Denon CD player is causing a bad hum in our system. It's a Denon CD player with iPod dock. We have it patched into our Midas Venice Series 32 line in via RCA to male quarter jack with the power cord plugged into a power condenser in...

    Aisle Lighting

    We are looking to have new aisle lights put in our theatre this summer, but before doing so we want to make sure there aren't any special regulations or anything. Have any of you undertaken something like this? If so give me your opinions, ideas, wish you had done differents, and if there are...

    Cost/Benefit of allowing food/drink in auditorium

    We sell bottled water, beer, wine, and sodas. Due to the historic carpet in our theater everything but the bottled water is served in a theater approved cup which we call an "adult sippy cup" I'm not directly involved with the selling of beverages, but have heard enough that we don't really...

    Wireless COMS - URGENT

    I would be careful using Voxer because it can sometimes have a delay. It might be okay for warnings and standbys, but you wouldn't want a delay on a very important GO.

    flickering house lights

    And so I would ask - is your flicker an issue ?. Who see's it ?. Might you do this transfer to road console prior to audience entry, which then kind of makes it moot ?The first time it happened it was quite noticeable. Yesterday was the second time it has happened and was very faint. Only my...

    flickering house lights

    We have had two different times where a road show hooked their lighting console into our dmx and when we take our house lights out, they have a very small flicker. The fix is to switch the bottom switch in the attached pictures to bypass. This fixes the issue but then we can't run our house...

    Dressing room feed amp

    Our feelings are that with the age of the Dukane amp and that fact that they are no longer made, that it would easier to replace it. Now, bare with my small knowledge or sound and ohm ratings, but when I say 10 ohms I mean that, that is what the voltage meter read after touching the leads to...

    Right Glue/Sizing for 25 oz. velour?

    You might try gluing the fabric to some scrap pieces of 1/4" luann or other sheet goods. Then screw the luann down to the top of the platform. This way you aren't ruining the decking on a perfectly good platform if the old fabric does shred when you try to pull it off.

    Sources for used Source Fours?

    You might try Stagelight. About a week ago they were doing a "garage sale." All the used inventory was first come first serve and they had limited inventory, but it might be worth a shot.

    Dressing room feed amp

    Here are some pics of the Dukane amp, push to talk mic, and speakers. The model number for the Dukane amp is 1A718. As you can tell by the picture of the microphone it is GC electronics. There are a total of 8 speakers. Not completely sure how they are wired. The ohms on the speakers is 10...
