Yeah...I know. Unfortunately a couple of systems are the same and a couple are different, and at this point upgrading them all to be the same isn't an option. In the future maybe, but right now it's not going to happen. Convincing musicians to spend money to fix something that has no signs of...

Update! Just in case anyone has been on the edge of their seat waiting LOLWe ended up skipping the hack version of combiners and just mounting a plate on the back of the rack that has 6 antennas for the 3 mics. Turns out the rack covers fit right over top...so VERY easy setup.For the IEMS...

Hello all,I've been reading up on this but hoping for some help! We are trying to build a small portable rack for 6 wireless units - 3 microphones and 3 IEM systems. The units being used are:(2) Shure SRX wireless mics (1) Sennheiser EW135 wireless mic (2) Audio Technica M2 IEM systems (1)...

Another idea I had was to leave our frontlighting the way it is on tripods and figure out another solution for back/side lighting. Is there a good way to utilize Chauvet colorstrips or similar lights on the floor or another strategy that wouldn't require more stands? Not sure if backlighting...

Thanks for the recommendations guys. As far as the banner lighting goes, I would like to stay 100% LED if possible...some of these bars don't have reliable power and the low draw of LED is nice so it doesn't cause a worry. Plus as fast as we typically tear down after a performance, I'd rather...

All the same...if I can mount them up on the speakers safely that's even less equipment to bring, plus we can nix the trees altogether until we add the additional backlighting.

Good point. Cost of the extra stands is not the issue really, more transporting them (space restrictions) and setup time. If I can come up with a viable and strong mounting design though, I think mounting on top of the speakers may work and be plenty safe. I'd only be mounting 2 LED par38 lights...

One other question...would these pinspots be a decent choice for lighting our banner? They're just small fixtures with white light: Buy Chauvet LED Pinspot | Spotlights | Musician's Friend FYI our banner is about 5' wide by 2.5' tall (approximate).

Thanks for the replies. Those Chauvet 4-bar systems seem cool, but are a little out of my price range right now...so I may save up or consider other options there. As far as rigging goes, I'm considering the idea of mounting our current front lights (the 4 par38 cans) to the tops of our...

Hi Everyone, I'm in a 4-piece working band, working regularly in bars and clubs around town. Most of the clubs have little or no lighting available in-house, and it's our responsibilty to bring and provide the light show. Currently, we use 2 tripod stands positioned in front of the stage on...
