    Synchronized Clocks

    We bought a pair of these POE NTP clocks, the 4" with seconds in green on the catwalk for the balcony tech crew, and a 2.5" without seconds on the face of the balcony for the stage, but somehow the Pastor still can't end on time. POE was great for us because we already had the network...

    Confidence Monitor Location and Size

    I'll echo what I wrote on https://www.controlbooth.com/threads/video-confidence-monitor.44205/#post-384732Ours is a 40" plasma mounted on the face of the balcony (about 45' from the stage). In your situation, I'd lean toward a TV mounted on the back wall or half-way along as you described...

    Video confidence monitor?

    We use the term similar to TimMc for our worship center. It refers to a 40" Plasma TV mounted on the face of the balcony, displaying a stripped down version of the words that are showing on the main projectors, along with next line cue, clock, countdown, etc. It's output is controlled by...

    Booth Pictures :)

    Thanks for the great booth picts, it makes me thankful for what we have! I thought I'd chime in with ours at Emmanuel Baptist Church. It's in the balcony (hard for sound), but the balcony only open when the floor overflows which I think has only been about 3 times in 9 years.Left to Right...

    Microphones How to fix Countrymen Mics

    I'll echo what others have said although we use E6's rather than B3 or 6's. We have an inventory of about 6 E6's with Shure ULX-S, and during shows the problem we have the most often is with the cables. I prefer the 2mm cables because they seem a little more durable, but more importantly they...

    Lighting Cues in Scripts

    My experience is mostly musicals, and I'm a bit a computer geek. Originally, I used to put together a binder of the written script and sheet music and mark my cues in the script/music. These days, I normally scan and OCR the script, and type the lyrics of the music into one document, then put...

    Preserving Mics

    Perhaps I'm not thinking the right connector, but the TA4F on the Shure series doesn't normally give us problems at the connector. When we have problems with either our Countryman E6's or DPA DFine cables, it's normally been a break mid cable. I would echo FMEng and instruct the users to NEVER...

    Mixers/Consoles Another reason to go M32 rather than X32

    Not trying to be a total Behringer slam here, I don't own an M32 for comparison. I will echo what others have said about the reliability. We've had an X32 in our church for just over 2 years. In those two years, we've lost two motorized faders. We were well warned by the seller that "if you...

    Enlighten One Review

    Enlighten One Review I’ve seen many times on this forum regarding picking a lighting console, so I thought I’d throw my $.02 in on the Enlighten by Megalite that I “inherited”. A quick bit of background, I’m the TD at Emmanuel Baptist Church and we run a full conventional rig, with a bunch of...

    led stage wash

    When our venue was designed, the installer wanted to use ONLY LED's. As a result, I have 96 American DJ Punch Pro's above my stage and front of house. After the installation, he found out that they really didn't have the punch to do general area lighting. So, now they're augmented with PAR's...
