I'm going to agree with both themuzicman and EdSavoie... I see a product that you have an idea for but don't think you guys really know what you're going to do with the product. If it was just for communication, why are you putting power calculations and aspect ratios into it? Is this for use...

The passive DI is probably the easiest way to do it. I don't know how big this event is, but a very useful item to have for a taking a device from line to mic level is something like this. We use these in our arena when we do press conferences after basketball games or other big events. One line...

I am currently an audio engineering major at Belmont. I also do a little bit of concert lighting. I can tell you that Belmont doesn't offer a degree in lighting design, there is a BFA in Theatre Design, but there's only a couple of lighting classes listed on the course catalog. The program is...

I'm going to let someone else answer the first part of your post, mostly because I am not a design student and don't have a lot of suggestions for you. Start by contacting someone in the admissions office and maybe administrator in the school that your design degree falls under to see what...

I've used the 2000a series before with good results. Just make sure to crunch the numbers and make sure that you will stay in budget. The best prices I'm finding (after a very short google search, you might be able to do a little better than this) is $165 for the charging station from here, and...

You can do the same thing with Shure Axient, UHF-R, ULX-D and PSM1000 wireless systems as well. I'm not going to start the Shure vs. Sennheiser war but they both do offer that feature.The RF Explorer has a version that will supposedly go up to 2.7 gHz. I haven't used it, nor can I find a...

I just want to clarify this, is the receiver actually showing that it is picking up an audio signal when this happens? Or is the channel on your board showing the signal? Also, what kind of board are you using?Short answer, I don't know. I've never heard of something like this happening, but...

I couldn't find any information on that particular speaker either. Assuming that what you have is in the SX line (did you mean the sx300e?), It should work just fine. The specs say that it won't get all the way to the low end of the bass guitar's frequency range. Be careful with the low end and...

It looks like a coemar spartan. It looks like it was a DJ or night club light that was popular in the 70's.Vintage & Unique Nightclub Lighting: Coemar Spartan

This year my high school was going through the same thing. There are 7 of us (1 props, 1 props and rigging, 1 sound and rigging, 1 lights, 1 stage manager, 1 seamstress, and I kinda do everything but focus on sound) who really do tech for most of the productions. 5 of us our graduating this year...

If you remove the door knob to the booth that's basically my booth access. Our booth is big enough where we can store our 100+ instruments, amp/dsp rack, gel sheets, lighting board, 2 follow spots and lot's of other miscellanious stuff and we're usually open to actors or the occasional friend...

Feel free to use whatever you want. Out of curiosity, what do you teach elementary school kids? Or is it more for the parents/ volunteers? Also, I agree with Brad, textbooks are more of a "This is how the world works" kinda book, at least from technical standpoint. What I'm writing isn't meant...

I do that at church when the pastor is singing. He knows that he's not a very good singer. When he made a joke about it I started listening to him.

This guy does the best job explaining the difference between the two cables that I've seen (and he takes his own apart so you don't have to). DMX is a data cable, like the cable you use to connect your iPod, phone, whatever, to your computer. It is designed to cary an accurate signal. An audio...

It is very doable. Our auditorium just got a 5.1 surround sound system and a M7CL. The DVD and CD players are set up so that for 5.1 automatically. Everything else is set up for LCR and we can send any other signal to the surround channels or subs if we choose to. The company that installs the...
