Anything will work ok. MDF sucks up a ton of paint so picking something relatively affordable will work to your advantage. If the flats aren't really going to see changes in humidity or get wet you may not need to paint both sides if they arent showing.

We previously had this set up as well. The story I heard was that once upon a time the National Players used this interface for their touring lighting power.

Yep the Ion can indeed change fader pages.

Hi all, we are in a bit of a rush and currently lack a prop artisan to create a razor set for Sweeney Tood. Does anyone have a set that includes at least one blood producing razoar they would be willing to rent us. Thanks

re: Power & antenna distribution for 20+ RF mic receiversWolfgang, Depending on what size rack you get you can get a power rail for the AC adapters. You might be better off getting a couple paddle antennae and running them to a antennae distro then daisy chaining the receivers it will keep...
