Re: Power Drops




I've yet to make the powercon transition - mostly because none of the companies and venues I work with have either, but also because I don't really have the need.  All my now-outdated SOS is IEC input with a few exceptions, and all the venues I deal with have edisons, range plugs or Cam Locks.  Sexy powercon stage stringers are....,  well...... , sexy - but I've yet to see how they'll make me more money unfortunately.  It also means more redundant cabling for me(powercon-powercon and edison-powercon for wall power crap, plus powercon-iec for the SOS or more drops -YUCK!!!).  My stage boxes are based on some surplus military tent power boxes which have a perpendicular split to the quad box and a female edison on a short lead (I've swapped most the quad boxes and female outputs compared to the one in the photo, as well as removed the cover - not perfect but it works). The rest are all regular Killark quads.  For the code police, no the stage boxes are not SOOW - they are milspec.  Never been an issue and I always have plenty of quads with SOOW if it ever were an issue.
