correct, mostly you just want to make sure the mic is getting whatever power range its expecting from the beltpack and the beltpack is getting whatever signal range its expecting from the mic. the speaker should be fine, as lower level speakers are usually reasonably tolerant of variations as...

as a matter of fact I do have those pinouts handyit should work, just make sure that everything is balanced and the impedance matches across the board. I haven't found the clearcom packs to be as tolerant of deviations as some others

hmmm, Nice!I use Rise Vision, but this is very simple and has the option for an immediate override (which rise vison lacks despite my repeated requests)I like it

smart point on the socks, that was my biggest problem over the summer when we worked the 4-10, by the end of the workday my feet would be soaked and itchy (especially if I had the pleasure of working out in the sun)josh88 brings up a good point on the amount of carbonation, i've found that...

It comes with the territory, ridiculously long hours every once in a while. I don't have it that bad, the worst for me would probably be 7am-midnight every once in a while, but i know the pros do worse on a regular basis. SO! How do you stay awake?soda? coke, diet coke, mr. pibb, etc.Tea...

tthe few projector enclosures out there seem like they would work, though they must be fairly expensive and are apparently specialty items.I loved that little weatherproof projector, the ultraprojector, if only it had some sort of input.the cooler idea is great and i may actually try it, I...

Glad to help! also, I use my system the same way, almost exclusively as a emergency/backup. this is not a real option for supplementing a comm system thats too small, but can be a show saving feature to have available if its needed.

Hey everyone, with a new holiday lightshow popping up every hour (as others have mentioned recently) I was wondering if anyone had any ideas or experience regarding weatherproofing a projector. I've toyed with the idea several years in a row come Halloween time, and have decided that now may...

She hit all of my points, except that A) rosco has some awesome lightning, clouds, and "rain" gobos that, if used properly, can be very effective and B) you can smoke "cigarettes" made of dried cabbage or lettuce for the same visual appearance of a real cigarette, but without handing a student...

Yep! and they have all worked well enough, included below is my cheat sheet of pinouts (I dont have phone handset pinouts because every manufacturer's is different, what i recommend for going through a standard deskphone is adding a 2.5mm jack to the handset of the phone)just take the IO from...

are you semi-technically inclined? if so you could build your own plexiglass LED light panels? by mounting several RGB LEDS into the edges of sanded/painted white plexiglass so that they reflect internally, somewhat like lightpipes.they would be very low profile and be both budget and...

I have built several converters like this (i can post a multitude of pinouts if you don't feel like looking them up)lots of people try to get fancy by interfacing directly with the +30v and audio on the intercom line. I prefer to, as you suggested, use a headset connector on a beltpack, this...

YES! live events are (almost) always too"jumpy" like that, and I guess people are just used to it. Whenever I train a new operator on our video system the basics (switch slowly and at slow points in the piece, always put a wide shot in between your closeups so you dont loose perspective, you're...

this one is my favorite so far

Agreed Agreed, and thank you for checking me on that. "king of the booth syndrome" is the best way to describe a serious affliction of mine.I don't know everything, especially about sound and any vendor we bring in will certainty know more than me, that is after all, why we bring them in.I...
