    Feather drop/cannon?

    We are a small high school doing Shakespeare in Love, and my director has decided to choreograph one of the sword-fighting scenes so it turns into a pillowfight, with feathers flying. I'd like to avoid the actors having pillows full of feathers blow up in their faces, but I do want to create the...

    Sennheiser EW-DX: Anyone seen them in person?

    A late Happy Thanksgiving all! I discovered yesterday that Sennheiser was adding to their line of Evolution digital wireless with the EW-DX, which looks an awful lot like it gives ULXD functionality (including 4 channels/rack space and Dante integration) for a significantly lower cost. We have a...

    Raw Multi-track recording of RENT?

    The idea was to take the student's initial impulse for the project (use his own instrumental skills to play parts of the show) and construct a larger project around it to allow him to explore a bit of sound design as well as sound engineering (and move the emphasis from musicianship to...

    Raw Multi-track recording of RENT?

    No worries! We're all in the business of protecting artists, so it's a totally understandable response (and I should have been more clear!)

    Raw Multi-track recording of RENT?

    Totally understand, and appreciate the point being made. To be clear, the intent is not to obtain a professional recording and push anyone into illegal activity. In my mind, the ideal scenario would be the raw recordings from another high school or college's production.

    Raw Multi-track recording of RENT?

    Hi all,I have a student who has chosen as their end-of-year Stagecraft project a paper design of a sound system for the musical RENT, and they are interested in creating their own mix of some of the songs during the process. Does anyone happen to have a raw multi-track recording of a...

    Curtains in Front of Fire exits?

    Does anyone else have curtains that cover exit doors in their facility? How is this handled with your AHJ? This is our situation:Our "theater" is a multi-purpose auditorium with three pairs of glass doors at the back of the house and windows all along one wall. As you can imagine, all the...

    Used Sennheiser G2 receivers and Beltpack transmitters- 518-554 MHz

    We are retiring 6 older Sennheiser wireless systems now that we've upgraded to newer gear. These are all G2 units with EM 100 receivers SK100 bodypacks, antennas, and power supplies. No mic elements are included. All units are in ok used condition, and pass audio and sound fine. One of the...

    RF Bandpass filters?

    I guess some more detailed information may be in order. Our wireless system is broken up into multiple racks to make it easy for us to accommodate a wide range of events in multiple spaces simultaneously (we're a small high school, so we often have a need for a large system set up in the...

    RF Bandpass filters?

    Thanks for the quick responses! It's good to know the bandpass isn't a brick wall, I'll ask about the attenuation.This is somewhat pre-emptive- the big change was to add the ULXD units to our existing Sennheiser units in the hopes of making better use of the available spectrum moving forward...

    RF Bandpass filters?

    I'm looking for ways to improve wireless performance with our RF mics, and the technical support from RF Venue suggested adding their 470-560mhz bandpass filters to help negate interference from T-Mobile and TV stations in the upper 500s, where we've had some issues (we use RF Venue's Distro4...

    Wireless Adding an antenna splitter to Sennheiser XS True Diversity (EM 10) setup

    The Sennheiser ASA 1 and ASA 214 distros are designed to send the 12v DC power for the receivers through the BNC antenna cables (that replace the whip antennas on your EM 10s). Looking at the back of the EM 10s, it doesn't appear that they are designed to receive power this way (EM 100s and EM...

    Wireless rebate

    I was just looking at the Sennheiser rebate website, and it looks like they started a new rebate period this month through the middle of next year. Shure's still appears to be dormant.
