[QUOTE="Shane Presley, post: 116738, member: 110"] Re: Theatre install Hey Geoff , yup hellerman over everything and I've changed to smaller hellerman over the shield instead of Teflon tube. I've got mixed feelings about them.. I'm using a bit of cable lube to get them to release easier off the tool, but it also makes them want to take off, but it's easier than picking up the heatgun in a place that very few power outlets are working (because the EC are working on panels). This install makes me shake my head everyday. I'm pretty sure that the consultant /designer has never worked a show in his life. He spec'd 400 lighting fixtures and he didn't know which was a leko, nor how to open the blades or focus it... He couldn't even plug in the 20 amp twist! Speakon wall plates being used in meeting rooms for 8" tannoy install speakers (qty 7 btw in a 20x20' room) instead of just wiring the speakers directly driving up costs, and labour... And now there's no money to buy a projector for the main hall....there's a projection room, just no projector , so they have dry walled over the window and "someday" there will be money for the projector... Stupid stuff being done all over the place with the only reason being that whoever desiged this thing doesn't know a thing about it. Oh did I mention that there are 6, 12"x12" plates with 8 bi-amp speakons being installed IN THE LIGHTING GRID... The house pa, Meyer M1d... Would any touring show use house speakon patch instead of their own cable.... I think not. MORE photos next week... [/QUOTE]
