    Speakers have rotated to wrong angle

    Ahhhhh. YES! apologies I now see what you are seeing @TimMc. None of my ideas will work for those upper level fills. Beyond a man lift.... which might still put you to far away from the wall. Extension ladder from house floor to wall. (largely safe, but I'm not sure you could get me to go...

    Speakers have rotated to wrong angle

    that's not that high at all. a 12' or 16' A frame should be able to span the stair wall and get you plenty close enough. Or ones of those littler giant ladders that you could seton a stair case. And/or use a smaller ladder and just build a little platform legged at height to set on the stair...

    6pin XLR for Comm (Clearcom)

    We have an "corrective" adapted Clear Com system installed, and we need some 6 pin cable. Our packs are the 6pin 2 channel wired version. Though they did not run the correct wiring in the building to utilize the 2 channel feature so we operate it in A channel only for the packs. We use the B...

    Used Lighting Console

    just noticed Bill is offering up FS a ETC Element, and his has the win 7 upgrade. That'd be your best bet if you can make a deal with him.

    Used Lighting Console

    located in NJ, the Element 1, was the console before our major auditorium refit 5 years ago. We upgraded to an Ion Xe. We still pull it out on occasion but we are looking to pick up a GadgetNomad education bundle to do the little bit of offsite stuff we do.

    Used Lighting Console

    Most placed won't have a used or upgraded element 2 available. My school might have an Element 1 (windows XP) floating around in a closet.

    Simplest 50+ channel

    the The smallest ETC Colorsource Console is very functional and would give you lots abitity to control fancier stuff.

    Simplest 50+ channel

    if you arn't recalling "presets/submasters" or using a cue stack, I would stay away from movers on a 2-scene preset console. A pro and experienced user would be okay, but any novice is going to struggle, trying to live busk movers.
