When I used rear projection before it was probably about a 4' wide image, but with the chorus I would need it to be at least 10' wide. And there was much less front light then than there is with the chorus. I looked at leno-filled scrim, but most places sell it by the yard. The smallest piece I...

So I am investigating the possibility for using rear projection as part of our scenery in our chorus productions. I read a number of posts on CB, and I have used scrim to do backlighting before, but I have not used it for projection. I already have a short-throw BENQ projector that I can use...

So I also have some of these (10?) out of a school. Actually changed out the asbestos wiring in one, but that was as far as I got. Not sure what manufacturer, I'd have to go look, but they are probably from the late 50s. I have all the roundels, in fact I have some extra ones that are orange. I...

SOLUTION: So I managed to resolve my issue on using 2 inexpensive guitar amps to mic our piano by using BALANCED components. I bought a TRS splitter, and 2 TRS cables, plugged the splitter into a wireless receiver that has balanced 1/4" TRS output and everything worked fine. Sound quality is...

I've been working with this chorus over 35 years, normally doing lighting. And I never asked them for money as I want there to be no doubt who owned the equipment. And one point I also did lighting for a couple of theater groups, again mostly using my equipment. However, while I said I use my...

Sorry it took me quite a while to get back to this thread, as after our Spring performance I kind of forgot about it. Of course that was until now as we have another show coming up after Thanksgiving.So, yes I used guitar amps as monitors as they are inexpensive. I should have mentioned that...

Like I said, the headphones are connected to the plugs on the back of the receiver that say Phono. Those are the only inputs available, the rest are already in use.

Pretty much looks like the image below. Might not be as good quality.

We have an older receiver that I would like to connect the headphone jack of an MP3 players to for playback, but the only available input is RCA phono jacks. I have an adapter, and I get sound, but it is very weak. My first reaction was to find some type of small amplifier, but even then, I am...

WHAT is the correct way to split the signal from a wireless mic receiver so I can run it to 2 different amps ?So the situation is this. I have a choral group of 50-100 for which I mic a piano that is in the pit in front of them with a speaker on the stage behind their risers. I currently use...

We tried 3 mics about 8 feet apart with the singers about 2 feet away for one of the small groups and it did work better. Our issue is not normally with the chorus as a whole, as even with just 50 people they don't need a lot of reinforcement. It is when there is a smaller group (3-6) that it is...

I have a group of 50+ on stage, usually in 4 rows, about 10' from the edge of the stage. At times there are groups of 6-10 that stand in a line about 6' from the edge of the stage. I usually mic them with 4 mics spread equally across the edge of the stage, but this breaks the 3:1 rule as they...

I am trying to find the correct Pattern Holder for an Altman 4.5-1530Z-MT. The specification for the fixture say it uses an Altman 360-PH holder, which is supposed to be B-size. However, I have a couple of holders that look the same as the 360-PH picture, but a B-size gobo (86mm) will NOT fit...

I am trying to find the correct microphones to ampllify the sound of an choral group of 4-8 people, without have to mic each person or use hanging mics. They are standing in a straight line on stage, and there is a larger group behind them, with 50-90 voices. The full chorus is loud enough...

Does anyone know of an audio recording package for Windows that has a "Stop on Silence" feature ? I have a bunch of reel-to-reel tapes I would like to digitize to use with our audio system. I really don't want to have to babysit the recording if I don't have to. Something like stop recording...
