    PAR for Orchestra Shells

    The best answer I have for the high heat areas question goes to sensing the temperature. We have a thermal sensor attached to our fixture that protects the fixture from running when the temperature exceeds the operation temperature. We have fixtures installed in Florida and the desert southwest...

    Looking for a specific clamp

    Ronald, My first question has to do with the OD of the pipe. Is it truly 2" or 1.9". Pipe nomenclature is like wood, a 2 x 4 is not 2". 2" pipe has an OD of 2.375" while 1-1/2 pipe (the standard for a batten is 1.9" OD. While truss is made from tube and 2" tube is 2" OD. We have clamps for both...

    DMX worklight

    Have you looked at the light source utility light. You do not need to turn power to it off when you are not asking it to produce light it is designed to stay powered up, it has a 10 year warranty that covers being powered on.

    recommendations for distributing DMX though-out an auditorium

    I would add that DMX over CAT wire was accepted into the standard after testing. You can connect up to 32 devices off a regenerated DMX split, although alot of tech's limit the number of devices below that to insure integrity or in the case of long cable runs.

    recommendations for distributing DMX though-out an auditorium

    First plan to use Cat5 for the permanent cable runs, this allows for expansion of the system down the road. Depending on your console the best answer is to start with a network connection out of the console so you can get multiple universe's on one cable. You run this to a rack where you start...
