Not sure if this is legit or not, and obviously I would expect any response to be private and I would not share them with anyone... As a comparison point in an ongoing financial discussion with my usual pool of "clients", I would like to get some example quotes for a mid-level community theater...

https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/mountain-play-san-rafael?select_video=1yH-_d8JQQdEZmjklYX9tw I'm thinking MSL-2 or -2A. Can anyone confirm? No big deal. Just interested. Other stills in that same Yelp profile, although this video is actually the clearest view.

Following on from my other "how big a rig for this room" thread, I'm now hoping (mainly for financial reasons) to keep the existing mains and just supplement them with a sub or two. I looked around as to what was available to rent, and of course most places offer QSCs. I wasn't previously aware...

Dear JV, I do a lot of work in a small community theater which is the middle unit of a strip mall. The room is basically one big open space, approximately 69' wide and 48' deep, of which about 16' of depth is the stage (raised 18"). There is a partition wall to form the main lobby on one side...

They've been out for a while now, but there's not much out there about them. My conclusions are that they're at least as good (some say better) than QSC K's, but not quite on a pair with the JBL PRX/SRX or Yamaha DSR, although cheaper than all of those (esp. the SRX). The Ultranet audio...

I've been doing sound for community theatre for about 14 years now, the last couple of years on a digital board (an X32), but sometimes I still struggle with EQ and dynamics. The same mic in the same rough position on different actors' cheeks can sound radically different. I guess some people's...

In a few months, I'm going to be re-mounting a show in a theatre which has its own Soundcraft Si Expression 3 and Cat5 MADI snake to an on-stage Soundcraft Mini Stagebox (I can't remember if it's the 32/16 or 16/8 version, but hopefully in this context they are the same). I am doing the show...

So last night's new problem was that the monitor we set up for the MD/pianist to hear the wireless vocals is having to be set really loud for him to still hear them when the band is wailing around him. It's a Behringer B208D on its side on the floor next to him, and he's playing a baby grand. He...

So as I said in another thread, I recently stepped in to run sound for a musical theatre production at 10 days' notice when the regular sound guy had a nasty transportation accident. So far, I've done 28 hours there, evenings and all this weekend, and I shall be there 5 hours the next three...

(repost after accidental post in X32 sub-forum) So, to those of you who automate mutes and maybe DCA assignments on musicals... How often are you creating a new cue? Per scene? (assuming enough DCAs for people who aren't on the whole scene) Per entrance/exit? (this seems the most likely, at...

I'm thinking about getting an XR12 as a replacement for an ancient 8-channel analog board at a small theatre company I do sound work for occasionally. The website indicates that it can use an X-Touch as a MIDI controller, and supports Mackie protocol too. Can anyone please confirm whether it...

So I'm mixing a show opening Friday on an Expression 3, which I've never used before today (I'm an X32 man, for better or for worse...) I have RTFM'd, and I got further than I expected to in half a day, but I'm still stuck on a bunch of things... 1. It's running "v1.0 Build 9", which I'm...

This past two weekends, my X32 has been in use on a production of RENT, with a 2010 MacBook Pro 13 running QLab for sound FX, 4 channels in to 33-36 on the board, over FireWire Card 1-4, using a 6' FW800/400 cable. On Saturday night (of course, a night I wasn't there) they had a problem whereby...

A theatre I work in regularly has three flown QSC HPR122i's, which they bought from another frequent occupant who got fed up putting them up and down for their own shows, after the previous (crappy) house system died. The problem is that there is a gap in the coverage, as the seating area is...

What do people use to clean these mics? I have heard tell of ultrasonic jewelry cleaners for the removable caps. Can anyone recommend a particular model (ideally <$100 or even <$50). Is there any safe way (or need) to clean the mics themselves, or would that just damage them?

Saw them at the Bill Graham in San Francisco last night, and the sound was jaw-droppingly good, and I just wondered if anyone here was involved, or knows anything about it. Maybe their rig is really nothing special these days, as I have very little modern frame of reference as I don't see (big...

I came across this article in AVS Forum... “Behringer B215XL Speakers: Home Economicsâ€￾ - imagic’s Review of Behringer B215XL Passive Speaker Pair ...heaping praise on a pair of cheap Behringer passive speakers for Home Cinema usage, and the discussion continues in their own forums...

I have some Sennheiser MKE2 and some Countryman B6 omni lavs, both of which have optional longer caps which apparently boost the high frequencies. For musical theatre use, with the mic taped to the cheekbone, the sound with the stock caps is of course quite dull by default. However, is it...

I am preparing for a rock musical in a small 99-seat theatre, 35'-wide 18"-elevated stage, five rows of 4+12+4 ex-cinema seats all on the floor, vaulted roof (18' center stage, 14-15' at sides), low side and back interior walls. They have never done a show with (proper) amplified vocals before...

I'm looking for something to TEMPORARILY color the beige cable of a Sennheiser MKE2 lav mic to hide it when fitted with toupee clips over the head of somebody who doesn't have very thick hair, and the beige cable is very (too) visible. I'd prefer the color to last a show's run (in this case, 16...
