    lights and sprinkler heads

    the ac vents are approx. 12 feet below this hanging point, and are "focused" horizontally over the audience. there is airflow, but not directed to this position. i am thinking that i will rehang just to play it safe. thanks for the reply.

    lights and sprinkler heads

    due to an add-on thrust to our main stage, i need to relocate some lights to the structural steel over the house. the ideal placement for the light (ideal for achieving 45 degree angle, cleanest and safest cable run) puts the light 30in below the sprinkler. so . . . what is the minimum safe...

    Buying (used) Lamps

    I recently needed to restock my lamp supply. This is for a job I have only been at for a short time - so I went to the guy that has been used in the past - local dealer who has treated us well. His price came in at $39/lamp for a ushio glc 2-pin. This seemed high to me and when shopping...

    DMX (XLR) connector supplier

    Hey Y'all! I need to pick up a few 5-pin dmx connectors, both male and female, to complete a run from the booth to the stage. The raw cable is in place, but it is not terminated. Who is your preferred manufacturer for these? Is there anyone out to avoid? Thanks in advance for...

    Control/Dimming marquee crashing (freezing)

    yes, it is the latest software. the issue seems to be in networking. the console was hooked up to a server that was backing up the show files and allowing access for rfu. unplugging the the network has eliminated the software crash and freezing upon start up (at least so far). not sure...

    hello all. i just started a new job and the control surface here is a marquee console. for quite some time now, the processor has been freezing. sometimes its before the show loads, sometimes after. a second computer has been tried, with the same results. currently, a laptop has had the most...

    Control/Dimming advice needed in desk choice

    all right - i am looking for something fairly specific to put in a small multi-purpose church room. currently, there is a leprecon x24 in the room, but this seems to be too intimidating for some (the women's bible study that meets there) and too enticing for the 14 yr. old volunteers as they...

    trouble with M2K

    Pan and tilt function seems to be fine. The noise only occurs when the lamp is struck, and it did fire, so I don't think its the lamp itself, but rather something else that activates when the lamp fires. I completely forgot to look for an error, but I'll look for one tomorrow. Thanks.

    trouble with M2K

    I'm new to CB - so first let me say "hello". Yesterday, when I struck one of my M2K's, it started making a noise similar to an old bell telephone. I had recently rehung the unit, after changing some gobos and picking a new hang position. I am assuming that I knocked something out of...
