OK Thanks. The mixing on our demo seemed uniform, and the zoom was impressive. I don't recall it being particularly noisy, either.

I forgot to ask, but what exactly was the issue? consistency from unit to unit?

Almost forgot: my only concern with the epoxy type finishes is lighting reflection/glare control from FOH, especially onto objects and materials that we don't want lit from FOH. Does anyone have such experience? I have never done lighting with such a surface, but we get enough glare onto our...

How long ago did u demo, and how old was the unit? I had heard the same thing about the CMY mixing from another consultant in the spring of '08, but understood that Elektralite did indeed make improvements, and I had a lengthy discussion with one of the Elektralite owners/engineers (his name...

I've had the pleasure recently of teaching local HS students on the Rosco EclIPSe console installed there (24 handles, 4 pages). I've found that the lesser experienced students (or newbies) are somewhat split as to which ones would lean towards handles or the keypad for individual channels. I...

Another option for automated color wash is the Elektralite PaintCan, which is an automated CMY fixture using a tungsten lamp. It has automated dim and zoom from 20 to 40 degrees, and can be had for at or under $1k each. I've had a chance to demo one at a 25 ft. throw, and it did a great job as...

Thanks again everyone. Dance is really a very rare component for us, so it's looking more like our best and most economical bet will be the epoxy/paint route. We can always have a portable floor added over top of that. Just to be thorough, I'm actually re-exploring the carpet option. :)

Thanks. We don't do much dance right now. If we do, it is more in the ballet/worship direction, but there has been some modern dance in the past. I was referred by one of our contractors to Rosebrand (don't know why I didn't think of them earlier), and they recommended their Adagio vinyl...

Thanks everyone! I share the concern about concrete being too hard for dance. Regarding the MDF sheet idea, which I like, we've talked about something like pergo, but it never occurred to me that we could get thin sheets of MDF. I'll check that further. Also, I was concerned about epoxy...

This looks like this might be the best forum for this question, so here goes . . . We are building a new church auditorium, and the stage is smooth poured concrete, almost 1000 sq.ft. We are a modern church with a band, skits, maybe some artistic dance, and the occasional play. We want a...

Hey thanks so much for the responses! I agree as an LD to have the electric as far upstage as possible, and it turned out that the track had to be hung about a foot lower than specified because of structural bracing above it. Also, the rigger found that he can hang the electric a little...

Hi folks, I have a bit of a dilemma with a new stage install. We have a bi-parting traveler (21 oz fire retardant velour at 75% fullness) just upstage of a dead-hung lighting position. The traveler track and batten are specified at the same height (due to space considerations, otherwise I'd...

Hi folks, I do both live sound and lighting, and am doing some consulting work, more on the lighting side, but a little short on experience working with moving instruments. Talk to ya soon. Thanks in advance...... Jim Egyud Consultant Sound & Lighting Director Horizons Church...
