Hey kids.
Just fishing for advise.
One of the theatres I work at is a basic 99 seat studio theatre in a converted basement. Currently the inherited dimmer set up is 7 Lightronic AS-42D dimmer packs. These offer 4 channels of 1200w each, however, as there are only 8 seperate 20 amp. outlets, all of these packs are twofered into one outlet each, reducing them to 600w per channel.
Now having a theatre in the round with 8'6 ceilings presents plenty of challenges, and the lighting requires accepting, shall we say, very stylized looks.
So I'm looking for any ways to expand the number of fixtures we can use.
The current inventory is an assortment of 6" fres, 4 Par64s, 6x9s and a few 6x16s. I should mention the space is rented and the owners won't allow any invasive electrical upgrades. Oh yeah, and they have very limited budget. Because of the confinded space, noise is a very big factor, so scrollers are out, even if we could afford them. i am looking into two moving mirrors from Meteor.
Any fixtures must be dimmable.
Thanks in advance......
Mike
