Anyone have a recommendation for a audio consultant? BACK STORY: I have taken over a small theater program at a tiny university out in Montana and find that I have also become the venue manager by default. I have two venues a 1950's and a 1910's ,each over 100 seating capacity and both more of an auditorium with theatrical ability then a proper theater space, if that makes sense. They have not had a strong tech/production person here..maybe ever. Just a revolving door of personal who purchased what they needed to make it work while they were here. I have a mixed mess of sound gear ( ok all the different systems, you should see the lighting mess) from the 50's up to the early 2000's. all cobbled together kind of working. Nothing is set up for ADA hearing compliance or for actual working a play. So no mics monitoring the stage for backstage/dressing room monitions that I could buy an off the shelf system and hook into. I don't even have backstage or dressing room monitors. We are that bare bones. I have explained to the powers that be that federal requirements indicate that we should have something to be ADA compliant and they agreed. To be fair, they really didn't know that this was an issue. We have all the wheel chair and other type of ADA needs pretty much taken care of. I also know when I am in over my head and this is such a Hodge podge of pieces that I dont want to add more to the mess. So I have a little money to get a consultant to come take a look and hopeful develop a plan so I can start begging for funds to update the system. anyone know anyone who is good but also imaginative? We are not going to be able to get a full remodel for this place so I need some out of the box thinking . thanks
