I need some professional rigging help. In my auditorium, we have a less than desirable FOH position...it's directly over the edge of the stage, with thrusts that extend beyond it. Impossible to do proper lighting. The architecture prohibits another FOH position recessed, like the first one, so we came up with a solution that will mount either 1 1/2" pipe or an actual truss near the ceiling, and allow instruments to be hung on them.
My question: How do I (safely) attach the pipe/truss to the existing ceiling support beam?(they are MASSIVE trusses that can easily handle an additional 1000 pounds- I've been told by a professional sound installation company)
Between the beam and where the pipe/truss will be is a sound absorbent ceiling material that's about 2 inches below the truss- cutting or drilling through that will be no problem. The pipe will have to be pretty solid as we plan to hang movers on it.
Thanks for the advice,
Rob
