So overall looking for 120v Zoom preffered between 26 and 36 with being smaller/larger respectively not being an issue, fixed would be closer to 36 if possible not over 55lbs (lighter the better due to having to use a ladder to get the 16' gridEverything outside of that is low importance. I...

So I am in the market for used lighting equipment, and have been scouring usedlighting.com and other such used equipment locations that seem legitimate.But I am running into issues as of late. I am looking for fixtures with specific information and while the used sites that I have been...

James is correct! The CF72s are directional fixtures. The windows in the fixture should be stage right when on the ground and guessing front lighting. Also, instead of flipping the fixture up or moving it, you can look at the top of the fixture. If you look at the picture attached, the top of...

That is what I wanted to do, but apparently I am the only one with Access experience. I think it is easy enough to do as well. Setting up the database in the first place is the hardest thing to do really.I might push harder for it because I know it is going to be easier and look better when...

Sadly, we have about 1700 gobos so the CD Binder isn't going to work. In college we had that because it was all size b or a, but when you have the majority being VL3k rotating gobos consisting of glass and a metal holder, it is more challenging.Currently the goal is have the spreadsheet search...

Hello all,For work, I have been tasked to inventory our set of gobos. At first it seemed like an easy task but by this point, it is becoming a challenge.We do corporate events for mainly pharmaceutical companies. We have a wide range of custom gobos and a decent stock of standard Apollo...

Here is my favorite link for using Shure Microphones. http://www.shure.com/americas/support/tools/wireless-frequency-finder Even when using other manufactures that will show you the actual frequency. It will show you TV channels that broadcast on frequencies near or in the Wireless Spectrum...

So, I am slightly confused here. If there is any latency, it should only be a few ms. So much so that it shouldn't really be that much of a problem unless the actors are having that much of a reaction time issue. Even allowing for the physics of sound to reach the actor. That time would be...

One major thing is to have the MSDS up to date for all equipment and soft goods in the space. Make sure you have the fire treatment for any soft goods included in the paper work. Just go through the space and if you see anything that is glaring wrong (something hung with tie line or no safety on...

I can't say who installed the system, but from what I gathered he is in the audio field in some way. It wasn't a specific company but someone who did it for the church personally. I think he now lives in the mid west.I was mostly just redesigning as a way to give the church an idea of the cost...

I have only used heads. Also if there is potential to have stuff dropped, I would warn with "Loose overhead". If moving fixtures, screwing something, or using a tool not tethered to me, I use that.Also with loading weights, I never allow people around the gallery or fly system. Once it is tied...

For $1000 at 6 weeks you would be really hard pressed to find anything. I agree with trying to push to purchase the console. Even if you take the $1000 and use that as a down payment then post show pay the rest off with the money the show makes. Would probably have to make a deal with the local...

I was afraid that would be the issue. I had a good idea they were top of the line and would be challenging to replace with equal quality speakers.Board is a Spirit LX7 which I know is major contributor to the issues. I have tried working with the DSP EQ starting over and over again to no real...

Currently re-specing the system in my church. The current system is about 13 years old and the console is starting to act up.Main advice I am looking for is speakers. The room to be covered is about 30' wide by 62' long. There is extra space behind the speakers that is 19' wide by 12' deep...

Been a member for a while now, but finally starting to post and comment as I can.Rather young (in career and age) technician. I mainly do Audio and Lighting work but have been known to help with video as needed. Currently employed by a staging company that does corporate events ranging from...
