    Computer Based Lighting Control

    For mac I have seen the LanBox-LCX. I am thinking of getting one for out school. I have not read enough about it though. I am looking for user reviews. It looks like it is a very powerful unit. Lots of options for connection. Any one here use it?

    Teaching Sound w/ a Show

    A water proof speaker in a shallow tub of water to show the sound waves can be fun.

    batteries

    Procells from production advantage. I buy a fresh batch for each show. I find that is often the lowest cost even compaired to bulk cheep ones.

    Marriages

    Now that I think of it I miced the officiant at my wedding. In your case I would put a mic on the groom and the pastor. Just bring up the one that she is close to. Also how about an area mic? As far as the pouch goes, it has elastic bands that keep it in place. Usually around the torso...

    Marriages

    For all of theater shows I have little pouches with elastic bands available for any one who needs it. The costumers almost never put pockets in the costumes if they don't come with them! The pouches we use are very simple to make. Put in fresh batteries, tape or lock the mic pack on and give...

    Into the Woods

    When I desined sound for Into the Woods I used Sound Dogs too but some things worked better live because it is a musical. The birds were flutes I think. The giant was the best though. I brought in 6 15" subs and drove them with a QSC PLX 3402. The signal was from a microphone under the bass...

    "Burning in?"

    High heat equipment (lights in theater) nead to have the metals temperd, paint cured, residual oils burned off. This also applies to other things in life like a new oven or wood stove, some times even car engins, clutches, breaks. In electronics mostly tubes may need this, and I think that is...

    Amplifier suggestions, please...

    I would put a QSC PLX3402 on them. However a PLX3002 would be good too. QSC has always treated me right as a company. Also the PLX are gutsy and only weigh 21 LB in 2 rack space. They have limiting and low cut filters that would work good on your speakers. I have used countless numbers of...

    Sennheiser G2 EW 100 vs. Shure SLX

    I just purchased 8 new SLX/wl93T units for my school. Senn was my #2 choice. The main thing for me was the service I get from Shure. Always fast responce and knolagable people. Pre sale service was great too. I got to talk to the same people I would have if I had to call back for service...

    70V on the Neutral, how are these Edison's wired anyway?

    My gut is telling me loose neutral causing a sage in the neutral. In trouble shooting I would meeter the disconect and the rack H to H and H to G and H to N and N to G and any other combo I could think of. I would also be looking for loads on the system that were out of the ordinary. Also is...

    FEL and FLK

    While I was reading Ship's post I was thinking about lamp life. I tend to give up some brightness for lamp life when I pick a lamp. The question I have is how does normal dimmer settings affect lamp life? I tend to run long life par lams at full and I tend to max out the dimmers at 75 to 80%...

    setting up an amp

    Running a 12 awg cable for each speaker is fine. BUT please make it NL4 for as many conections as posible. I thing a 1/4" jack is only rated for 50 watts. The contact area is tiney and like I said before, they short the out put of the amp if they are pluged/ unpluged. THe worst is if it is...
