Why aren't you using the actual Sennheiser li-ion battery packs for the EW-D's? -I didn't think you could buy them without? The pack fits perfectly in the transmitters but they made it capable of holding 2xAA for backup use. I've never had to because the rechargeable packs far outlast any show...

Yes that is the same Wiki I linked. Here's the page regarding authentic versions:https://tinysa.org/wiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.BuyingAnd I linked in my previous post to the place where I buy mine.I am not an expert on Linux distribution installation methods but I watched it get installed into...

Just curious why it needs replacing? An intercom system is a collection of many parts with each one easily repaired or replaced. Wiring connectors and power supply are the 3 most common issues in my experience. I've installed new cheap P-I power supplies and everyone still using the...

I use this SDR based project https://tinysa.org/wiki/pmwiki.php It is standalone but can be connected to a PC with USB It's cheap enough that I skipped over all the SDR dongles on Amazon and Ebay and paid the bit extra more for this ready-to-run device...

We have 16 EW-D along with 8 A-T 3000 series at the summer theater I support. We are sandwiched between 2 active TV stations and there's some overlap between the EWD and A-T operating bands. But it works out ok with the A-T at the top end of their range and the EWD below them. The A-T's are...

I think I may have just discovered this yesterday. A few years ago one theater co I work with ordered 12x16 printed backdrops from somewhere online and they are printed on something that at first impression feels like a paper but it is some kind of woven material that won't tear -not unlike...

Look up fiber HDMI cables on amazon. I was wrangling an SDI installation and trying to fit all the converters and cable into their budget until a janitor walked in with one of these pre-made fiber HDMI's and it worked flawlessly. I couldn't even get a spool of bulk coax in the range those...

Even after all that the PA is still hanging. I don't normally like JBL VRX, but at least the rigging system is premium! -and it looks like you can see daylight through some of those boxes yet their still hanging.

I hate touring with real RP surfaces but I found it tolerates front stage lighting hitting it much better than any thin woven fabrics we tried. And with the surface upstage I was surprised how much bounce you can get off even a flat-black floor from the AP's even without having a single light...

I did a tennis complex a few years back. All paging horns and a stack of boring atlas mixer-amps. So your project sounds more fun and with higher quality output!We've begrudgingly went kicking&screaming into Bosch products when the bought out EV (I swear by their larger roto-hammers and...

One "back in the day" discovery was that a boneyard video projector worked good and doesn't get hot enough to melt fibers. I had a bunch of older VGA resolution units that still had plenty of life left. The end of the fiber bundle was about an inch in diameter and we lined it up close to the...

No more Bose 802's for me, I have plenty enough of them and actually do have far better products for things that are not throw-and-go grist. If you are dumpstering any then at least just check the drivers before you toss and I could always use spares of those. They used that 4.5" in many...

I built a cartoonish trailer park a few years back for a local community theater. We went with the Shasta type vintage look (teardrops and canned-ham) because in paint tests the airstream style wasn't going to work (The painted one on the USC flat) The other two are actual luan flats and the...

Was pushing back against the "speaker snob" aspect - I encounter too many people almost daily that look around the huge "elephant in the room" and focus all their waste of dollars on the PA speakers and not correcting greater issues first.Finding a proper spot to jump into this thread...

Really?No consideration for the configurer or operator of the system?Just look first at name brand and assume it's going to suck?How come twice on my last tour I had to reject the house systems with "Meyer" or "Fulcrum" on the badges, go out to the bus in subzero temps and personally dig...
