sounds like a fun project. Good luck!

the real reason the director is mad at you is because you called them (inferring her for her decision) idiots for doing what was unsafe. You are 100% correct in your actions and thought process - it breaks down when you call them idiots and foolish pride gets in the way of a good decision...

you want to use real DMX cable since it is the proper ohmage rating. You can use a 3 pin audio cable in a pinch but you may experience signal issues on runs over 10' to fixture. Definitely use a 120 ohm terminator as well. If the cable is the proper dmx data specification it doesn't matter if...

great find! has this been forwarded to vectorworks and WYSIWYG yet???

leave it to the electrician to answer the question from the more practical standpoint! :grin:great point!

good suggestion if stereo is not an issue.

They only offer a single model and it is magnetic. The manual shows the necessary taps.They are heavy but great fixtures. I used the Color Mix 250AT quite a bit and like them. I always liked the Color Mix 575AT for stage wash with Source Fours for specials and a handful (about 6 to 12) of...

no worries!that's how we help each other out...

Sorry - nothing against ADJ - I like some of their product and they have done a lot for the party market. I just hate seeing a budget spent more than once or even twice on the same product.

in that case you have the option to save up. You will more than likely have to replace that unit fairly quickly and as small as it is I have to wonder how often you will need to fill the tank a night as well as how much coverage you will actually get. I would recommend saving up and maybe rent...

are you kidding me? I can deal with the lack of zoom - I can't deal with the colored shadows. drives me nuts about LEDs. They need to toss a fresnel lens on there on a worm gear and let the LEDs do the color mix as they are meant to. And while I am on about it I would like a CMY pallette to mix...

I like the HPR speakers and they will do you good. if you do musical events or a movie night I would recommend either 2 subs or one larger sub. You can never have enough low end for the dynamics in different styles of music. The same amp you were going to use for it should power both speakers...

definitely sounds like the units are set for a different voltage than you are sending them. Those other 2 were probably used and then changed out so they are most likely all suffering from the same problem. I would pop them open and check the tap on the xformer.find the manual here -...

I would suggest the radiance hazer from le maitre. you won't be dissapointed and whatever extra you might spend on the hazer you will more than make up in savings on fluid. It lasts forever and has great hang time. I highly recommend it!

color me interested. (I am not sure what the Apollo gel # is for that) :grin: Ok - looks good, how much is it and how do I attach it to whatever I may want to?
