Conventional Fixtures Source Four History

[Hugtrain]

Hello!

I'm currently drafting a wikipedia article about the Source 4 and I'm in need of some references. I was hoping someone might have a book or good (third-party!!!) sources as to what improvements ETC made to the ERS with the S4.

Have you seen this video?

Sorry, I don't have any literature you can cite. Maybe you can contact ETC for documentation?

I can't use first-party sources on wikipedia

What an eccentric and fascinating dude. Plus that interview with him on the ETC Study Hall is pretty cool and rather entertaining.

Glad this was immortalized for the internet.

The stories about him barely scratch the surface of how interesting he really is.

Does anyone know what month the LDI Tradeshow in Dallas, Texas 1992 was and how long it takes L+SI to report on it? I'm trying to find it in their archive, but the older ones aren't OCR scanned.

And also proof of the millionth S4 being sold in March of 2002?

Well I guess I shouldn't be that surprised, since this is the same guy who has reproductions of classic paintings with his face as the person in it. LOL

Harder to find a circa 2002 trade article without digging into the archives, but here's a similar metric from an industry source.

Here is an article that talks about the 92 LDI show:

And before any of that happened, the audio dept had to run the coms lines...

Then chances are you'll not be able to write the article you envision. You've hit on one of the problems when creating articles about persons/stuff still living... there isn't much 3rd party info, because 3rd party info is created from 1st party sources. Kind of a "chicken or egg" thing.
