    Curtain call for crew?

    It all depends on how you want to be considered.... If you want to take the "Professional" approach, then NEVER, EVER go on stage if your a tech. If you want to take the Amateur approach, go ahead. I dare you to find a Broadway show or Tour that allows there techs to come on stage...

    Sabine Wireless

    Sabine provides its own software, for free. This software allows you to monitor the RF on each channel of the system, so long as the software running on the laptop is connected to a receiver. This software is your best bet, rather than an external program. It scans the ambient RF on each...

    After re-reading this entire topic again, I think I have came to a conclusion on the original posters problem. If he is not using an antenna distribution system, then that alone, running 10 channels, will cause problems. You need to space the antennas at least 1 foot apart in order to get...

    Movie vs Theatrical Lighting

    I should have made it clearer, but when referring to gels, I meant color gels. Color CORRECTION gels are another story.

    Movie vs Theatrical Lighting

    Steve B: I was mainly going to my experiance of film sets, aka: location shooting. The only time it seems practical to have dimmers is in a situation like a news rooms, etc. Somewhere where the lighting stays the same from month to month, and were lighting is out of reach.Even films shooting...

    Movie vs Theatrical Lighting

    When I directed a short film a few year back, the lighting was entirely different from theater. As other have said here, there are major differences between a lighting package for theater and film.Here is a short comparison: #1: Fixtures - In Theater, Mainly makes use of floods, or "cyc's"...

    Things just keep getting weirder... Today, I replaced our old soundboard with a new one... After testing it with the system, I found that the problem with the loud squealing is gone.I tested it several times, and it seems that somehow the problem was in the old mixing board.

    Yes, we have only had them for a little over 5 weeks. I'm not sure where I got the 6 months at, but I meant close to 6 weeks.In that time however, we have had them in 8 different venues.Yes, there are similar function on some high-end systems.However, a combo like the dual channel Shure...

Total channels are 72.Our Dimmers have Socapex / Multi-Pin 6 circuit outputs (2 per dimmer), which we then wire with Socapex...

    Mike, You make some good points as well. I only have a few things to add, speaking from the point of view of a user of the system.Right. Our Coax cables are only 20' long. We really have no need for it be any longer. In most cases, we use the 10' cables when we are mounting the receivers in...

    war of the wireless

    I would love to see these "not so great" reviews. I have only ever heard good things about them, and we have never had any problems with our 24 channel Sabine setup while touring.I can personally point you to several professional reviews in favor of the product...

    Sabine Wireless

    I would also like to add that we have been touring with our Sabine system now for almost 6 months. We have NEVER had any major interference on the system channels we were using. The current show, The Wizard of Oz, has all 24 channels going at the same time.I find it hard to believe that if I...
