I have the opportunity this summer to put in the wiring we need from booth to stage. Our booth is in the balcony 100' away from the stage and running wire is, to put it nicely, a huge pain in the butt. Imagine 50' of crawling on 90 year old chickenwire plaster and another 10' of inchworming, all the while trying to drag wires. And hoping that the ceiling holds up, as you're 40' in the air. So I have one shot at this, and basically a clean slate from my boss as to what wiring I put in.
550 seat high school auditorium. Mostly the usual concerts, musicals, and dance recitals common to high schools. Occasionally a touring gig comes through, but not often.
We currently have:
25 mic inputs
5 mic inputs into the automatic mixing system
2 aux returns, both powered for monitors
What I plan to add:
3 RG59
2 HDMI
2 VGA
3 mic inputs (to max out the 28-channel snake)
3 auto mic inputs (to max out the auto mixer)
2 aux returns, unpowered
The video lines are for giving presentations from the stage and sending camera feeds backstage, both of which we've previously been unable to do effectively. The HDMI and VGA will be run over CAT5e/6.
So what else should/could I put in?
