Thanks all! Plenty enough to get started.

Hello All, Had a local High School ask me about upgrading the lighting in the gym/multi-purpose room. Currently there are 4 x 575 watt conventional PAR lights on 2 x 20amp circuits mounted from the ceiling. They would like to replace them with moving lights if possible and some kind of...

One issue on the SQ is how it handles DCA follow. Example, Scene X - actor on DCA 1, advance to Scene Y same actor still on DCA 1, but the DCA fader will drop to infinity and has to be pushed up again, so you can't transition a scene while the actor is speaking. On the QL and I'm assuming it's...

Steve, Those seem to be the same spec as the Neutrik, at least on the black chuck, 15mm limit, unless I overlooked a different product. Spent some more time working it and looks like I can/will get the 12/3 SO to work. That said, thank you and everyone else for the input/comments. It's one...

The powercon...If it had just an ever so slight modification I probably wouldn't have even posted. The SO 12/3 I have is from Royal/Southwire and is 15.11mm OD so .11mm over the design limit for powercon. I tried one and it does begrudgingly fit, so maybe that's the way to go. Frustrating...

I already have the Powercon boxes so would be great to figure out a way to use them properly for the stage, but safety first. The L5-20 would work, but could only only find metallic boxes with 12/3 SJOOW tails for the in/out. There are some rubberized that are hard wired with L5-50p, they...

Ron, Yes, I think I've read almost everything he and others have posted on the SO versus SJ here and other sites along with applicable chapters in the NFPA 70. Seems clear and has been for while regarding truss, lifts, pipes etc. The two specific questions are first, as I described the cable...

Just want to make sure I have this right. Upgrading stage power distro, primarily for music performance, using some hard rubber outlet boxes with double duplex 5-20 and powercon in/out. They are from OAwindsor for those familiar. One run from spider box (20amp protected circuit) along UL to...

+1 on sun glasses. Had to do this for two outdoor shows recently. Used Capture Sweden to pre-vis and printed out Top, Side, Front plots which got us close. The movers aren't too bad as long as they are on palettes through all the cues. If your careful you can make fine adjustments on the fly...

Run small event production company and work live event freelance audio engineering and lighting tech. No gigs, no work since March 13th and almost everything out 6 months cancelled. Have a few holdouts in June, but not anticipating those to actually happen. Agree with Footer, were a long way...

We are a small event production (audio, lighting, and staging) company. Street fairs, corporate receptions/dance parties, weddings, concerts in the park etc. I do some independent work in theaters and a club gig here and there. 90 day revenue projection $0.00, will go in the hole...

The SQ also doesn't have DCA follow. Hoping that shows up in an update soon.

Lots of discussion on this in other threads here. Also the Live Audio Board at ProsoundWeb here: https://forums.prosoundweb.com/ has a wealth of information and some threads specifically on theatre audio mixers. Offerings from Midas, Soundcraft, Yamaha, Allen & Heath etc. have a wide range...
