    WANTED: CD80SV processor card

    Yeah, if my venue were set up for a touring rack already, I'd definitely go that way -- there are a couple 48 channel sensor racks on the used market for peanuts (about half what just the processor upgrade is gonna cost me).. but the current rack is an install rack, so the circuits don't...

    WANTED: CD80SV processor card

    Does anyone have a working CD80SV rack processor card still hanging around somewhere that they'd like to sell?My processor card had a pretty significant corrosion event related to a battery leak during Covid downtime, and my dealer took a look at it on the bench and decided it wasn't...

    Remotely operated lighting for Jekyl & Hyde lab table

    Hey gang..Finished a fun little project a bit ago and figured I'd share.. a local community theatre was doing a production of Jekyl and Hyde the musical, and the director came to me looking for ideas on how to get a few small lighting effects on the lab table. He wanted it to be wireless...

    Draper StageScreen -- any experience?

    Interesting and great info.. some followup questions --I knew that PVC is thermo-elastic and really doesn't like extreme cold.. assuming that I were to keep a standard PVC projection screen out of the winter temperatures, but use it in the summer, what types of issues would you expect? Our...

    Draper StageScreen -- any experience?

    Hi All...I've been looking into the various options for projection screens for our venue.. need something that we can put up and take down without a ton of effort, and something that can be easily moved out of the venue. The venue is a non temperature controlled barn, so the temp and...

    Build Your Own Audience Blinder

    I generally share your dislike of audience blinders, particularly as a general tool for concert lighting.. but I'd argue that there ARE uses, particularly in theatre. The easiest example I guess would be the final reveal in "The Full Monty" -- you generally want the audience's irises to be nice...

    Asset Tags?

    Second vote on paint pen.. that's the only method I've seen so far that works and isn't more trouble than it's worth. I really wanted there to be a good barcode solution, so I could then check stuff in and out with my phone etc, but I've not seen a label that's good enough.The other...

    Hey friends..I've poked around a bit and I don't see alot new in the static wash LED land, but figured I'd poke my head up and ask.. last time I demo'd units, I landed on the ETC ColorSource PAR for my use case.. it's more than a year since then -- anything new in the landscape at a...

    Starting from scratch Wireless Mic purchase

    For sure.. when I think digital I'm not talking about the 2.4ghz, 5ghz, or 900mhz bands, I'm talking about where I think digital is going for the foreseeable which is stuff similar to Shure's ULXD system.. digital transmission (with all the advantages of digital in terms of being able to...

    Starting from scratch Wireless Mic purchase

    Audio is certainly a neverending pit to throw money into.. and wireless in general is a consumable. Unfortunately, if you're doing musicals (which we do, and would like to do more of) wired mics just aren't really any option anymore. Audiences expect an SPL that's high enough that you'd really...

    Starting from scratch Wireless Mic purchase

    Hey gang..I had decided that this was the year I was going to start building an inventory of wireless mic equipment so I could stop borrowing/renting. I've got a small musical coming up in a few months, so I started the process of buying some gear.. only to find that whereas I thought my mind...

    Road case for the ETC Element (actually, the Congo Kid, but..)

    Thank you! That looks like it'll work nicely, and is a bit closer to the "right" size than the Pelican option!

    Road case for the ETC Element (actually, the Congo Kid, but..)

    Hmm.. the only possible Pelican's that I can see that are of appropriate size are in the $500 range.. This is a Kid, so it's 32.9inx18.2inx5.5in...looks like this would be the only Pelican option I think: http://www.pelicancases.com/Pelican-1730-P232.aspxI'd just assumed that folks who...
