Booth Pictures :)

Here is our auditorium's booth. It is hard to photograph because it is so long and narrow!

It is a nice, spacious booth. Off camera is my desk and a storage room.

Looks like your audio guys have a really powerful hand warmer.

If you mean the projector -- yeah, it keeps you nice and toasty! It doesn't help that it exhausts its hot air right over the mixer. When the system was first installed, I thought "boy, this mixer sure puts out a lot of heat"!

It is a little annoying listening to the projector fans running when trying to mix, but its really not too bad considering the size of the projector and how noisy the fans could be. This is actually a great place to mix because it is so open to the house. We have glass that we can put in the windows, but have never used them. The mixer and source rack can also be connected in the house, but we've never found a reason to move them.

Heey! We have that light board!

 

[Zelma]

Me in the first booth I worked in, 1979, stage left, just a podium with room for my prompt script and a headset. The light board operator used a two-scene manual preset board in the wings behind me. I called hundreds of cues every show. I think the max was around 500. I loved it! (The show pictured

is "The Lion in Winter.")

A posed shot of the crew, early 1980s, showing the stage-manager's booth with ASM calling cues, light board operator next to patch panel, PSM and grips. This show had less than 100 cues, which is why the light tech looks so bored. It's also why the ASM is calling. It was a good training show.

The control bay

this is the view from the booth of the bay, amp racks in the booth, and the SM usually will call from there

So, we upgraded our sound board a while back.

Here are some "booth" (backstage video control) pics from a tour I designed several years ago!

Hey man, that boards has like, 101 built in FX, at least 4 "EQ" knobs, and the faders are like, 45mm! Plus, what can I say, can't beat Behringer quality!

My question is why did you have a studio desk before? And what was wrong with it that you had to change?

1) Brilliant purchasing advice from the same company that sold the developer all the other crap we never use.
2) Something in the central module burnt up, entire board died. Can't unload it, functional or not, on anyone local, and shipping would be horrendous. So it's currently wedged underneath the roof access ladder in a storage room. I'm betting on being able to show it to my grandchildren in 50 years, if the building hasn't fallen down around it.

If you wedge it in the right place, it may hold the building up!

Here's a look into our booth. We have it configured completely different depending on what the show calls for. FOH balance is way off in there, so we sometimes build a booth outside for sound.

We built our booth out to FOH for this show.

We tour with certain shows so I visit this booth about once a year. They've got a pretty nice facility.

Random shot of house...?... We do a lot of projection especially for the Pageants/Award Shows

Busy Week (Thursday 4/15)

That computer behind audio is for IMAG and Playback

Other half of same setup.

Busy Week (Wednesday 4/14)

Since then (2 years ago) We've begun to upgrade our space.

Brand new mixer. Just got it two weeks ago. Waiting for the new amps and mains to arrive.

Also finally got the ION i'd been asking for. Now just waiting for the wireless RFU, Fader Wing, and SeaChangers to get here.


Oh... please ignore the food and drink in a couple of the shots. I know it's a sin. Since we've got new equipment in there, we've adopted a strict no food no drink policy that we should've had from the start. Funny how over the years the only thing spilled on the express was a bottle of water. Which only did a bit of cosmetic damage on the right side of the board (you can kind of see it in one of the pics above.) Anyway we're better about that now.

Volunteered to help with a one-act play festival. It's taking place at a pretty nice black box, but spot the fatal flaw with the booth...



I'm bringing some self-stick foam tomorrow.

What console is that?

 

[avkid]

Express 48/96 for lighting and an APB Dynasonics Spectra T on audio.

Is it that someone trusted an ordinary counter with a QSC amp? har har har

It's colorful. I like the blue lights.
