    Testing rechargeable headphones

    They are built into the headphone w/a micro usb port for charging. They can be removed with a little bit of surgery if need be. DC 3.7V 600mAh, charging voltage DC 5V.

    Testing rechargeable headphones

    Hi friends, this may be a little outside the realm of this board, but I thought maybe someone might have some good ideas. We use rechargeable lithium ion battery operated headphones. Sometimes they sit un-used for a few months and we're trying to develop a testing protocol to test the battery...

    LX Free export?

    Hi friends. The person running the place before me used LX Free to make the lighting plot for our space. Anyone with experience, CAN a plot be exported in such a way that it can be opened by Vectorworks? I haven't been able to find any information about this. I know it can import a .DXF file...

    mounting a hanging choir mic for outdoor performance

    This may not be an application for your situation, but I once used black fiberglass fishing rod blanks (without the little metal loops.) to hang chorals cantilevered out from the top of set walls so they hung over the actors. Worked great.

    Installs Re-wiring an intercom system

    Hello friends,We have about a 25 year old wired Clearcom system. It might have been something else before it was Clearcom. Anyway, currently the master station runs to a rack where all the hard wire (6 or so runs of 2 channels) runs out to the building. Some are individual stations and some...

    Chauvet 4D Hazer Problem

    Thanks for the follow-up. We'll give this a shot if we can, and I'll let you know our results.

    Chauvet 4D Hazer Problem

    Did this ever get figured out? Ours is doing it too. Is the solution to toss it and get something else?

    Strand CD80 dimmer not working

    The patch is correct in the Ion. We're sending a signal to the right dimmer number to the rack, it's just not making it to the module so far as I can tell. This is all original electronics, retrofit is forthcoming as soon as other things stop breaking and stealing money from that project.

    Strand CD80 dimmer not working

    So... I have a dimmer that's not working. 30 year old Strand CD-80 AE rack, ETC Ion board. I've swapped out the dimmer module with a known working one and still no dice. I also put a "Hot" module in, and got power to the circuit on stage. I know the rack is getting signal because everything...

    FER Lamps- What are they for?

    Well then, I know what must have happened. Because that light looks an awful lot like the Strand Orion ground row fixtures we have which, however, take an FHM lamp. Somebody must have bought these and, well, here they are.

    FER Lamps- What are they for?

    Does anyone know what fixtures an FER lamp would be for. I think they were purchased here by mistake, but I want to make sure we don't have any fixtures they are for here before I get rid of them. I think they may have been purchased for our Colortran(now Leviton) FAR CYCs by mistake. Thanks...

    In-house tv monitor upgrade

    This should work on TV'S from prior to the switchover to digital broadcast, right? Putting the TV on CATV mode should work? This may be the most cost effective solution. This is for video only. We route or audio separately. So I'm not worried about a tiny bit of latency.

    In-house tv monitor upgrade

    Hi friends, Looking for a cost-effective way to upgrade this old system. There is currently a system that takes an analog camera signal, encodes it to channel 3 (analog) and sends it down coax cable to a few different TVs. The TVs have all been upgraded recently enough that they have HDMI...

    Lee Colortran Far Cyc fixtures, replacing sockets

    Hello,We have some of these cyc lights (I believe they're now a Leviton product) and the sockets are starting to wear down to the point where they don't make contact with the lamp. I found replacements, but looking at the fixture, it appears that the sockets are pop riveted in place. Has...
