I have a PTZ camera controller and small video switcher that I would like to permanently live on top of a desk backstage. Unfortunately we have a history of theft so I need a way to secure them on top of / within the desk. I'm also concerned about curious minds pressing buttons at times when...

I think I can get the mics 24' from the proscenium by placing them in our box booms. If they go there, they will be spaced approximately 60' from each other. Its not exactly the 3:1 ratio recommended for a Spaced Pair, but its closer to the stage.

Our venue has very good acoustics, so thats hard to narrow down. House center normally sounds really good, so does center under the 2nd FOH. Also we cant hang them too low, otherwise it blocks sight lines for people sitting in the back of the house.

Hey everyone. I've searched for similar posts but have yet to found the answers I was looking for. How do you all record the audio from unmic'd theatrical productions? Musicals are mic'd so they are easily recorded through the board, however our straight plays are never mic'd. How can I get a...

We have thought about renting multiple, and they are very cheap. Our college has an agreement with Airgas, so we do not get charged for tank delivery. Im just hoping to estimate the amount of gas needed because I will need to use a purchaase order. I can pay for refills with my Company card...

So Im trying to figure out how many 50lb CO2 tanks I might need for an upcoming production while using the Rosco Coldflow. I only need it for maybe 10 minutes during each show, and I have a 7 performance run, with 6 dress / tech rehearsals.The rosco website says one bottle is enough is enough...

Some good thoughts Footer. And yes, normally the Rider comes with the contract. Like I said, this guy really has no idea what hes doing, hes sort of a promoter I suppose. I would guess he has a contract with the show, so he had the rider all along. While talking to him he acted like he didnt...

We have standard ETCnet and can run the dimmers with both ETCnet via cat5 and standard DMX512. Our facility thankfully has some redundancy built in. The channel in question in mostly controlled by the Paradigm, but can of course also be controlled by our board. I will PM you the facility.

The rider is surprisingly simple, and small scale, but here you go."AASMAN SE GIRE KHAJOOR PE ATKE..REQUIREMENTLIGHTS1) 18 channel slider 12) Spot 143) Par 64) Power...

Ya they arent bringing anything. They are using our rig with standard house plot. Only thing that wont be ares is the moving mirror fixtures, which are coming from a local rental house.

No dont have a name, they are using all house provided equipment, other than a couple moving mirror fixtures, which are rentals from in town. Its complicated, but the past week this guys has been anything but helpful, and then all of a sudden today he coughs up a Rider. Im going to try and...

Have a rider for a small play thats touring through our facility next month. While its in english, some of the stuff they are looking for ive never heard of, so I am assuming they call it something else than what we do.Whats puzzling me:Lights: "Power Pack"- I am assuming they are talking...

So I swapped the dimmers, and the problem seems to be eliminated. I say seems because the problem wasnt persistant at all, some days it would do it nonstop, others it wouldnt happen at all. But yes, the dimmer swap seems to have done the trick. I put it on a circuit that has nothing but some old...

re: Sensor+ Rack & CEM3: Dimmer Help! Circuits Flickering!D50's are easy to come by, we have 24 of them. Just none of them are extras.

re: Sensor+ Rack & CEM3: Dimmer Help! Circuits Flickering! We keep our rack filters clean, in fact they very rarely seem to get dirty. Havent tried swapping dimmer packs, waiting on one of my techs to come in tomorrow. Im here by myself today, so dont want to be running all over the place...
