Would something like this work: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07M5DBFQ1/?tag=controlbooth-20

Some recent mac's internal network ports had problems for a while with Dante. I think it was only 10G ports and I think I've read that this problem is now fixed.If you have layer 2 switches that you can manage I've had success with doing vlan tagging. Dante must be on the hardware interface...

I've got a bunch of Par 64 and probably also some Par56 lamps that I'd rather give away than pitch. I don't want to ship them however.I haven't counted but probably at least 20 in a mix of beam widths.I'm in Berrien Springs Michigan but get to Holland and Grand Rapids on occasion.Thanks...

I guess I need to take a closer look at the Work Pro lifts. Is it "easy" to buy the them in the US, from a quick look it appears it's harder to get than Genie.This is one of those times where I can't say "pun not intended" :)

Wow, that's bright (and waaaaaay over kill for my needs).

I work at a University and particularly in this era of COVID we keep getting requests for outdoor programs in the evenings and it seems that trend may continue.I want some way to get a few lights up "high". 15' might do it if needs to, 20-25' would be better. I hope to put a 10' stick of truss...

This looks to be a very promising option. The rack mount one might work well for us which is an advantage.These might work however I'm worried about running into the fixture count limitations. 48 certainly isn't enough and even 96 would likely mean grouping up house lights. I'll need to do...

I work for a university where we have a 800 seat PAC that's designed for classical music but also has some religious and other more contemporary programs. We do very little theatre. We have around 100 dimmers, 15 S4LED's and currently no movers. ETC Sensor (v1) dimmers using traditional DMX...

These two senses contradict each other.Only powered monitors will take powercon connectors.If you want non-powered monitors they would use speakon connectors.

How to mic a piano is a subject for several dissertations.First figure out what style(s) of music are involved. Classical, Classical pop's, Big Band, Jazz, or any of many post 1950's or so styles of popular music. Each may have different needs for micing.Also is this for recording or...

There are a decent number of free/cheap astronomy apps that can show you the position of things (including the sun) at any future date.While it's not exact it sounds like your show is around 6 weeks after the solstice on June 21, we are around 6 weeks before the solstice now so the sun...

I want to emphasize this point.I work on a university campus and several buildings have backup generators of various sizes. The one for the IT building get tested, with load weekly and has never failed when needed (but it did get very close one). In the event of a power failure the machine...

I agree with other posters that it's likely a mechanical fault.However I'd encourage you to check to make sure you are with in the range of focus distance that the lens supports. Most projector lenses I've seen don't focus to infinity. On the other hand if it will focus on your wall at the...

Also note that I think you can spread the 500 channels and 1024 addresses/parameters over more than 2 universes, this just allows more flexibilty in how you assign and wire things

I've had pretty good suscess with clear Brady Labels and White text. The thermal ink does eventually wear off (especially on the handhelds) but most beltpacks are still really legible 18-24 months later. We have 3-4 programs per week but we don't always use every pack for every program.
