Thank you! It's much appreciated

I need help figuring out ways to cue cell phones to ring. My director wishes for the sounds to come from the phones instead of the speakers to make it more realistic, and to help provide more focus (as the characters are constantly moving around)Additional info: There are 5 actors total...

We are going to purchase wall-mount clear-comm stations (XLR4, volume knob, talk/call button). 1 for stage left, 1 for stage right, 2 for booth, 1 for house, 2 for our dressing rooms ,1 for green room, 1 for our scene shop "area".How does one connect and wire these to the 4 channel clear-com...

Is it possible to set up 2 or more patch bays sharing the same channel outputs/inputs? For example wall panel mic 10 corresponds with mic 10 on more than 1 patch baysI wish to set up a (smaller scale) patch bay in the house for FOH mixing when needed, main patch bay in control booth (where...

I am aware that only professionals should set up the equipment. We already decided that no one other than a professional is to set up or help set up the equipment.I was wondering a few things out of curiosity.

I'm new when it comes to the actual dimming equipment.My company is getting portable dimming equipment. Of course I wouldn't be installing/setting it up since I don't know much about them. I tried doing some research but haven't found the answers I'm looking for.Our light board is a ETC...

Quick question:Is there a standard fire announcement speech to say before curtain and what to say in case fire-alarm goes off again? Word-for-word.I'm going to post the fire announcement in all the booths and keep them both in my future prompt books. (all I need is to set up the announce...

In my instance the fire alarm was triggered by the haze machine located stage-right. I picked up a god mic and asked audience members to exit building, then got on comms and told a crew member to round up the dancers and take them out. I had a crew member (who all had 2-way radios) at every...

Any designs or pictures?I started off (design) with a cabinet-like rack with swivel casters with removable shelves and pull-out desk for prompt book and cue sheets. Above that I'm going to install a lamp (I saw one on a conductor's podium. It was similar to a music stand light but bigger...

We have two separate telex system for both of our theatres. Both theatres unfortunately have to share the green room and dressing room. We want to put wall mounted comms speaker for both the green room and all dressing rooms that works with both telex systems. Is there a way to connect the comms...

Thankyou!Do you know if telex has that stage announce feature or something so I can patch it to dressing/green room or house PA?

I have a few questions regarding intercoms (clear-com, telex, etc) Do you prefer to have the system wired to the green room/dressing rooms differently than that of control booth and tech? Different channel or something. (I know most actors disregard what's said on comms cause they mostly hear...

It was a thought. But makes better sense to just run power cords when I would have to run video feeds and intercom as well.

I was thinking of building a portable stage manager "station". Where the Stage Manager can call/run the show anywhere in the theatre space. It would have racks for video monitors, intercom equipment (headset & master station) A built in desk to put prompt book and other materials. It would have...

Cue light systemDoes anyone know of a non-permanent cue light system? Warn cast & crew. Aknowledable button. Go button.Hopefully one that additional stations can be added when need be
