    Technician vs Techie

    Sure I'm a HS student but at the end of the day I don't really care what they refer to me as because I know I'm well respected, everyone comes to me when they need help. I'm sure everyone else has different opinions but that's just mine.

    Lol thanks Nelson, I've been trying to keep up on the maintenance of the equipment. At least it's easy to teach others on. Nice meeting you.

    Control/Dimming Can anyone identify this Strand Setup?

    I wish it was properly setup however we had a few problems: 1. The gym teacher or janitors were curious and broke the lock 2. The gym teacher didn't like the way it sounded and played with stuff -_- 3. From the beginning it was very "tinny" 4. There's a loud hiss (sounds like the fan on the hv...

    Control/Dimming Can anyone identify this Strand Setup?

    Wow that is it. I actually looked all over that site trying to find it. Thanks! I'm curious when they put it in. I'm guessing mid 1960s but maybe 70s. I'm trying to get the health and safety people to put in a new setup but they don't really care about the tech department. All they care about is...

    Hey everyone, I'm new to this forum but I've been working on a/v stuff all my life. Right now I'm a leader of our tech support team at my HS. We setup the audio, video, lighting using crappy/old equipment and all of the other stuff no one else does :p it's nice to see others with common...
