I am well acquainted with officer newton, ove seen his work in action too many time, HahaThanks for all the responses, I know the curtain track idea was kinda out there, just wanted to see what others thought!

Hello,In the planning stages for a musical (Carrie) where in one scene a chair (Less than 10lb) is throw at an actor who then stops it mid air and throws it back. My original thought was to use a curtain track with some sort of stopper where the chair needs to stop and then use the hand line...

Hello,Looking for some lamps for the old Mac 575 Kryptons. The Manual lists the part number as: 97010212 but the martin website has it listed as: 97010230 . The first number points me towards 700 watt lamps. Anyone have a bead on a lamp for these old boys?Thanks!

Hey all! Sorry for the long awaited reply.. holidays get in the way of work.I built a direct adapter and it sorta works!The headphone speaker portion works just fine, I can hear. And the mic works (very quiet) when just the mic cable is plugged in. But when both headphone and mic cables are...

Thanks!Yea saw that too but didnt want to shell out too much money up front if someone knew of a work around or cheaper solution. All of my searching has come up without much luck. I saw a couple posts of DIY solutions from years ago.I'll be back at a venue with that uses the walkie talkies...

Hello lovey people, lighting guy hereI have a SMH210 headset that I bring with me for ClearCom or equivalent systems. Some places I go to have 2 way radios, so I have to use those in-ear "headsets" that start to hurt by the time doors open. Instead if buying another headset that I like for...

Thank you for the story and little bit of history, Ron! And yes, it always depends. Ill be taking a couple different mixing positions for a test drive over the next couple event!Thanks!

Thanks!Im aware of seat kills, and most shows that come through our theater (un)fortunately dont fill the house anyway, so im not super concerned with selling the kills to producers,

We would like a final permanent position in the end, but yes, I think it would be good to test out some options during shows. Thanks!

Hey all,Im more in the Lighting field, but im doing some research for my place of work, University level. Our current FOH booth isn't ideal for audio. We are in a projection booth that sits in an enclosed room behind the audience about 4' off the ground, and underneath an overhang from the...

If you are looking for something that can spin around and change color, look at the Chauvet R2 washs. They are pretty cheap, so you would be able to get a nice handful of them, but they put out a bright enough wash, and its LED so power shouldnt be an issueSomething along the lines of the...

Thanks for the info!Gave countryman a call, they said they are confident that the B3s would be alright as long as we give them a wipe after the show and cover the connector on the pack. I think Ill just have to buy an extra or two anyway.Thanks all

So, are you looking to rent or buy units? Ive been loving the HE SolaFrame 750 units for venues on the smaller side. They are plenty bright, but wont melt your face off (Plus them dim pretty nicely). The framing shutters and color mixing are great to have as well.

Thanks! Yea I'll give them a call and see what they say about our current mics! And yes, I would probably just get a new cable and extra cover the connector

Thanks yall,The pointsource series8 lav looks promising, so probably going to go that route!
