So, we just updated our Chamsys MagicQ drivers and WOW, what a change. The biggest one being the font size on the buttons and, well, everywhere else in the program. It makes trying to read a file name really annoying. I know it's a small issue as compared to other programming problems, but I'd...

rack. definitely. most of the time, it will be sitting in our performance space as a semi-permanent fixture, and occasionally it will be used for small outside concerts. At this point, we really don't have one. I've been given the instructions,"find me the best piece of tech you can". We're...

Hey, I'm trying to find a new dimmer for our small performance space. One that we can use in house but that can also be used for traveling gigs. I think I've found one that will work, but i can't find any reviews for it. My forerunner at the mo is an ETC 4XSL620-M SmartPack Touring Dimmer Rack...

Thanx everyone. Those websites helped alot.

We're trying to get rid of a few obsolete instruments in our facility. Its fallen to me to find a fair price for 3 gently used LeeColortran 6" fresnels. I guess they're technically Leviton, now. I found some new, online, for $351, but those are brand new. Any suggestions as to pricing, or where...

Hey, I'm looking into replacing our dimming system in our black box venue. Honestly, I have no idea where to start. At the moment, we have a Topaz. It has 7 dimmers, 20A ea. I'd like something more permenant for the space, with more dimmers. As I said, I really have no clue what I need. I've...

What do you mean by "what kind of curve it is"? lol. this is the basic information i am missing.

They don't. As I move the fader up, the intensity stays at 0% until i've reached around 80 and then it jumps to full and stays there. I get a kind of mid intensity, where the lights flicker, on some of them, but not all.

They're all Conventional instruments, no DMX cables. Its a mix of Twist Lock and Stage pin connectors depending on location (we've got a pieced-together system). The Dimmer packs are all Electrol. I don't know much about them, honestly. You have to switch each dimmer on manually, and our board...

So, I mostly work with concerts and such in our big performance hall. Its a church thats been retrofitted into a theatre. I have about 30 Par64s hung in there. Recently, I've noticed that some of my instruments aren't fading on, they jump to full at about 60% intensity. Its really annoying. I...

I recently found, while doing a long needed inventory, a few MSR lamps. They have a G22 base, like a HPL lamp. The information sheet that came with it said that the lamp couldn't be used if there was light showing through vents in the instrument. If that is so, what could you use these for? Are...

I believe we did the same thing when we did this show in college. everyone just gathered around the 'door' and then jumped back when the sound cue went and then the dad came out with lots of 'soot' on him.

In HS and College, both, we took the tech class, which trained us in everything. When it came to shows, we could ask for a specific place, but my professor liked to switch it up. I think I've been academically and practically trained for just about everything tech-wize. My professor liked to say...

Thanx. Thats exactly what i needed. I finally did get the call from levitron. I didn't know that the topaz and the LNR are the same device. Thanx again for all of the help. I appreciate it.

Ok, Basically, I know nothing about this thing. Its a ENR Dimmer Pack Mod#600-004 and I can't find anything about it online. I've placed a call to the Levitron people, and am awaiting a call back, but i'm better with tech sheets.Does anyone know where I could find one to print out and keep...
