Great question. We don't have a loading dock. Everything is at-grade to street level, so they must have had a forklift. We temporarily have to store everything in our school's metals shop as our scene shop overhead door is blocked by roofing cranes and some other things in our scene shop.

Our ETC gear has arrived. Chauvet movers here today, LEX cable products tomorrow, work lights next week and RJ follow spots in August!

The electricians have been working since the middle of last week running conduit for data distribution and additional electrical outlets, checking wiring for our house light panels and working to strip the dimmer rack. If anyone is interested in a bunch (roughly 45) dual 2.4kW dimmer modules...

A few pictures of a cleaned out dimmer room following this past Sunday's graduation. The old CD-80 and Environ 2 racks will be the first to be replaced during the conversion.

What space are you with Steve? I'd love to gleam the tech specs and spy the space ;)Thanks for the words of wisdom. I believe our Chauvet stuff is shipping out tomorrow which is only the movers - 12 more R2 Washes (we had 3 already) and 12 Maverick MK2 Spots. We were originally going with...

Last I heard on the Oz (a week ago from our vendor) is that they're expecting to ship out the Oz sometime in August at this point. We're slated for a facility shutdown starting Tuesday as our electrical sub and stage lighting subs start their work coming up.

I've always done similar to Aaron. I use an LS9 (digital), and typically ensure that, in our case, all wireless transmitters/receivers have the same settings (sensitivity/AF out) first. As a disclaimer, all systems are equivalent Sennheisers with Countryman E6s to have some sort of standard...

Hey all, just an update on our final equipment and accessory listing. Final POs have gone out to all vendors; here's a listing of everything for those that are interested.Fixtures and Accessories:80 ETC Source Four Series 2 Lustr 21 ETC Source Four Desire D60 Vivid 14 ETC Source Four...

We're all now reduced down to being referred to as numbers...how inhumane ;)

I have two Lycian Midget HP 1209s that are about 20 years old but recently had new bulbs installed. They work well, but we'll be getting rid of them due to our upcoming LED conversion and new RJ Oz follow spots.

I'm inferring that to mean he's referring to the oft-quoted 10-15 year payback to recoup the cost of fixture expenditures by going to LED?

Is there a reason you just don't want to solo the respective channel in the mixer's headphones?

This is EXACTLY what we did a number of years ago. Have a large air compressor in our storage room with air hose run up to our catwalk. We have it split off to two solenoid values going into dimmers which then feed the cannons. They are 2" OD x 24" long PVC permanently (securely) mounted to...

We're looking to upgrade our production intercom system from our original (roughly 26-year-old) ClearCom wired base station and remote stations with a wireless solution - primarily their HME DX210 system. It looks all well and good, but as I read the user manual, I wanted to make sure I was...

The Apollo scrollers/power supplies and 4-pin data cable have been claimed.
