My turn to ask: anyone have a Greased Lightning to rent or sell anywhere near the NW USA? Production in May 2024. Still have time to build, but not really wanting to take on that project this spring.Thank you.

Just put in a system to our venue this fall. Arcadia, with 1.9G beltpacks and a IP transceiver. I like the IP, can do 10 beltpacks and run on same cabling as control. I did use Dante to bring in program audio, but couldn't find a way to route it to the labled program input, just added it to...

This is the correct answer.As for scene safes, there are multiple tabs in the scene recall window. Everything that's in the app, plus more, is there. Selective recall is fantastic for theatre, once you get a workflow you like setup. I like scenes to recall anything I do or might want...

Our theatre hosts a youth theatre production 2-3 times a year. Large shows, two casts of 50 or so. 24-30 mics. (Also a couple community shows a year.)I know the concern with the initial price of Countryman, but they have been much cheaper for me over time. I buy B3's with the 2mm cable...

It's pretty good. 90% of what I would ideally want for theatre. A combination of recall safe and focus recall on scenes is very powerful. You can chang mutes and DCAs, but not band EQ, but ocasionally a channel EQ... All up to how much detail you want to program in.

You can do 60+ on Yamaha with a QL5 (32 inputs on board) and a Rio3224. Actually more channels if you want to route some things into stereo channels, perhaps FX over Dante.I personally like the layout of the QL vs the CL. I mix solely on custom layers, have a shortcut to get to that setup...

3 rehearsal sounds about right. What did you have done when you entered the theatre? Console laid out with the offline editor? DCA's programmed? (as mentioned) Scrip marked up? Did you get some time to set gain and EQ at the first rehearsal? That's about all I have, then we're doing the...

This. I much prefer shackle plates. They're rated, when attached as directed. You can land a flat trim to the floor and they work on other flown scenery besides a "standard" flat. Start your collection today.

I just bought an Amhaze Whisper for a 170 seat blackbox. It's very quiet, love that aspect. No issues with it at the edge of the stage for Little Shop of Horrors. Would be fine to use for a straight play that needed it.I just can't run it low enough! We keep it at 3% and still have to put...

You're controlling a board mix, the audio still comes over that path. Unlike an Aviom setup. The iphone is just the remote control.

I have ordered Countryman E6 is shorter lengths before. Worked with my sales rep who learned how to order them from Countryman. Was no extra cost, just a little lead time.

I prefer forehead, for the simple reason it sounds the best. If that's not going to work, placement on the bone directly in front of the ear isn't bad. But anything on the fleshy part of the cheek it horrible (like the oatmeal box reference, about sums it up).Try humming a low note...

Well, still something. Found matching fuses and put it, put it on a light (the one that was still working all last week, and worked this morning) and it popped as soon as I plugged it in to power. Blew a resistor. Now to find someone that does real repair.

Thank you for the input. While unplugged I metered across the igniter board, both sides had continuity.I then though of the flaw in my troubleshooting, I didn't know if my spare ballast was good. Swapped with the working light, problem followed the ballast!Brought one down and opened it...

I have 1 of my 2 VL1000 AS that won't lamp on. For about a week it was dimmer than it's counterpart, though both only have ~100 hours on their lamps. Today it wouldn't come on at all. Swapped in a new lamp, no change. Swapped to a spare ballast, no change. Igniter board looks fine, nothing...
