    MTV Music Awards

    Looks like they were using a pair of grandma's for the primary control. MA Lighting: Control / grandMA2 full-size[parent_gruppe]=215&cHash=ab43086f12 Ijustine does a poor job of looking at the setup but you do see a quick look.

    mackie 24x4 VLZ-PRO operation meter problem

    Have the exact same board. This is a pretty big problem across the series. It is attributed to a cold soder failure with the swich. I reccomend to take it to you preffered audio eqipment repair specialist and get them to soder it down again. Or do like me, fiddle so it works and tape a strip...

    ULX system Advice and input sought

    I use 14 ulx body packs at once at my school. stuff is rugged, and the lock out feature is a plus. Only drawback is that people tend to pick up the mics by the wire insted of the pack and it screws up the microphone. Other than that they have been perfect. and run for about 6 hours solid. Now...

    This bites!!!

    Make sure you are getting decent levels out of the mackie mixer. I reasently had a problem that the right chanel was not responding. I linked it the the "Tape to mains" Button it has a bad cold soder on it.

    Choices

    I Use 4 ULX Beta 58 Shure's as the workhorse mics. They have never failed yet (execpt for replacing batteries :)) But they are used as the primary HH mic in my theatre, primarially for convience and they sound great too.

    Wireless mics and musicals...

    I use a little brother thermal label printer and put the name of the person/ or character on the actual pack. also i have charts. Second, Make sure you get time from the director to mic actors, usually first dress, also train you actors in mic handleing, it puts more years on the wear and tear...

    stupidist mistakes

    My biggest screwup was droping a gel frame onto a brandnew (less than 1 year old) Baby grand Yahama piano. Man i put a nice 1cmx1cm dent down to the wood in it. Man that was a depressing day.
