Thanks, I have suggested the metal mesh to my boss as well as the cyc silk gels. I only have two more days of work then there is nothing until the middle of January so when school resumes on the 2nd I will see about getting everything done and see what types of LED pars he has in store.. Thanks...

Thanks for the suggestions, I will be toning them down to 1000w lamps and using cyc silk gels but I also now need help finding some replacement safety mesh/screen. I was planning on going to home depot and buying a roll of hardware cloth but I can't find anything with small enough mesh to...

Ah Thanks, I have tried it that way and it still burns to the screen that way. It crinkles and then touches the mesh and burns. I think I will try to re-lamp those down to 1000w and try with some Cyc Silk and new mesh.

I might just add them in addition to the SLs I will find out exactly what LED par I would be getting if I decided to replace them... I am still not sure.

I have never heard of Cyc Silk. I go through so many gels I usually just get the cheapest I can get. I also want clarification.. the frame is two pieces one with a mesh one without, I usually put the gel between them and gel is on the inside of the light, is this correct? I have heard two...

My boss wants to only replace the Strand SLs with the LED pars and have me find a solution to keep the gels from burning on the cyc lights. He says they wouldn't have designed a light to just burn gels every 4-8 hours of use.. I keep trying to tell him that is normal for that hot of a light but...

They are focused out as far as they go.. The diffusion I haven't tried but I do know I can get source four pars for about $100.. Maybe that or some fresnels.. I want to put all of the Stands up in the catwalks where they belong...

Thanks I am not sure if more of the cyc lights we have now would fit on there. They take 3/4 a full sheet of gel. I believe they are altman Sky cyc lights.. I WISH I had more source fours overhead..I have 18 strand sl 36's for my white stage "wash" if you look you can see lots of circles on...

I have never measured it exactly, I will do some measuring tomorrow I want to estimate the cyc is about 40ft wide and about 20ft tall. I will get exacts soon. Sorry about the strand thing I meant to say AND BUDGET there... those $350 units I know are an ETC something.. but those are pars and...

I use this forum for lots of reference but I don't usually ask questions but have come up with issues. I am a theater tech at a high school theatre and work all performances and do pretty much everything there is to do. To give a little background, because this was a high school that was built...

Thanks for this suggestion, I think they do run parallel, probably both to the dressing rooms first. That is an option I will look into if I can't find a secondary power supply. I would have to turn the 70 volt line into a signal line and put the amp in one of the dressing rooms so that there...

I will have to look for a remote power supply, that may be what it is, It does not kill the signal if I hit remote mic kill from the main station and yes I have thoroughly looked for a speaker station and there is none, not even in the dressing rooms or ticket booth, or in the choir or band...

Thanks for your input. I know this building went to the lowest bid. As a result my House speakers are DEAD. My rack has a big green button for power and that turns the whole rack off but it does not control the powered speakers above the front of the stage and being constantly on for 8 years(Age...

Yes I am sure that there is no headset picking it up. Here is a couple pics of my setup attached..There must be a device that connects to a clear com system and can inject audio from a 70v system into it...edit: I don't remember but I think that the remote mic kill actually stops the audio...

I am new here and have gotten so many answers from these forums and want to say thanks. I have an odd question. I work at a High School Theatre and have a clearcom system in place(not sure of the base station model right now) I know the belt packs are rs-601's. I have a phantom Mic that hangs...
