Yes. Power to back line instruments and their AC using ephemera should be protected by GFCI.

And the flip side: do they have so much work outside of the Uni that their classes are taught by graduate assistants? What's the point of picking school based on faculty who are unlikely to teach the classes you take?

I can't answer from the USITT standpoint, but of the advertising I've seen for TDs, most have lots of responsibilities listed, significant education desires, want tons of experience, and pays in Bat Guano for salary in exchange.

If you were my doctor, I'd fire you. You're throwing parts at something without an actual diagnosis."Well, you need a new knee." "But Doc, I'm here because I can't stop sneezing." "We'll start with the knee replacement, then a liver transplant."

50x100 is a lot of "throw" for small, direct-radiating loudspeakers, especially continuous duty "drone" sound. I strongly suggest setting this up outdoors on grass (not concrete or asphalt) and see what you think. Make noise, simulate some of the additional sound of the live action and see if...

LARP - live action role playing?What is the program material that needs the sound system, how loud does it need to be, how much physical area must be covered at that SPL, and what other audio assets are available?Have they done this type of temporary installation before, and why are they...

In the USA, patent law is not subject to state courts - it is solely federal jurisdiction.

Well the first thing that catches my eye: RTS/Telex/AudioCom is not :plug and play: compatible with Production Intercom (which is ClearCom compatible).Telex/RTS uses balanced audio and tone signaling, ClearCom/Production Intercom uses unbalanced audio and DC voltage signaling. Telex makes an...

Yep, corporate presentation is one of the applications that an AVT might have.https://www.avixa.org/certification-section/CTS

I think the OP is looking at the upper column loudspeakers, particularly House Right. Looking at the House Left main PA, it appears to be inclined too far (it's pointing up, as an array). The House Right main picture angle does not show enough detail to make a guess.The uppers will require a...

Thank you, Professor Rubin, for your lifetime of contributions to your craft.But.... Mustard? That raises the Respect-o-Meter another notch! You are missed, sir.

And on the flip side, I can only send the shop a pick list of what was ordered (or what comes automatically with a specific item, like PowerCon or TruOne cable). The account rep should inquire if accessories are needed, but ultimately we can't read minds if nobody says "hey, we need a dozen XYZ..."

Having managed a regional audio/LX shop... if we'd forgotten something critical you ordered I'd personally drive it to you if necessary. If you didn't order it, how much you spend to get it is up to you.It's been a week so I'm guessing you've gotten through this. What did you end up doing?
