has this issue been resolved? I see the last post was 9 days ago. If it’s still an issue, I have signal path troubleshooting steps that would probably point to the problem within an hour or less.

Thank you @theaterwireless, your correct with good vs bad equipment. In fact in the same venue I added trusses on the sidewalls and added 6 channel dimmer packs to dim those lights with wireless DMX them and they are running fine. Only issue I’ve had with them is I got a call stating the...

I’ve been converting a high school 700 seat auditorium to LED as part of the school district mandated transition. In reality it’s a huge expense for lights that when used pull a lot of power but aren’t used all that much. So financially I don’t think it’s worth it. But I’m not turning down the...

Hi, I have both sennheiser analogue & digital and line 6 digital all running in the same venue and they play together well. I try to stay clear of the 2.4ghz WiFi range to avoid issues. I worked one show where I was only contracted to do lighting and someone else contracted to do sound. They...

This message started last January so why is it being touted as a new post? I’m confused and a bit frustrated...

I’ve been thinking about this setup. Another, but less understood option is to use a couple boundary microphones. Which is what we used back before face/wireless microphones. But your actors must project their voices as noted in the previous post. Setup and equalization is the key. A boundary...

Hi and good luck. I’m an independent sound & lighting design & production engineer/director with the portable rig you need. Too bad I’m not close to you though. I’ve done these type of shows on virtually no budget of $200. The thing that really gets at me is damaged face microphones. It’s...

You might look at MIDI control of both sound and lights. You could program midi to change music and the lighting mood with a single trigger.

Did you say you drilled holes in tha table? How big are the holes? That could be the problem. You might try a bigger hole w/plexiglass over it to keep the beakers from falling through. Also, dim the stage as much as possible. Try a special spot on the actor(s) that does not hit the beakers. Be...

Interesting post. I had a similar issue with dimmer leakage on a cathedral set where I used incandescent candelabra flickering lights for candles. The lights were custom wired in parallel. When dimmed off, the center light would stay on. The lights on either side of the center would go...

I've done something like your talking about. I'm assuming the wood beam is part of the architecture of the cafeteria. A down side to hanging the LED light with a wrap around strap is it will mar the edges of the beam. Cardboard under the strap on the corners will help protect the beams. The...

It seems like you asked about a "passive" solution rather than active. I don't think you'll get a passive solution that'll prevent signal contamination on cross or return talk. That's just the nature of the beast. The mini field mixers are good night to be your best hope. They'll run on a.c. Via...

Yeah Ron, this is some hearty equipment...reminds me of the Flintstones...Dino running on a treadmill outside the auditorium, or Fred Squeezing a taradactile who would light or squish a candle - candle power! You know I meant 1980.

I'm, I appreciate your very generous offer. The wireless kits are not RC4. I installed this 3 years ago with much water under the bridge since. I thought they were WDMX kits... But not absolutely sure. I know I initially had the cheap silver tube direct plug-in receivers but pulled them and...

I want to play devils advocate here. I'm an electronics engineer. I've studied how SCR, TRI-AC, & Varistors work. I understand how these chop up the duty cycle to dim the light, or create a variable speed drill, motor, etc. But this ? Seems to come up now and then, can a dimmer at 100% be used...
