There's only about three providers that service the state. If they're out of Hartford it might be Sound Guyz, http://www.sgzpro.com. They have solid gear.

Interesting statement?
Might I assume they know how to use it too? I got talked into being on the wrong side of the limelights today

Re: Woodstock CT fair provider?
There are plenty of providers in the state, or bigger providers that you can have come in, but I am only aware of about three decent regionals who do a lot of work in CT.

Oops, they weren't out of Hartford after all. They were:
http://concertsoundandlighting.com/
Dunno what they had on the main stage but the second stage was two pairs of TS floodlights, a crest mixer, and the oldest snake I ever did see. I think the subs were TS also. Power went out 1 minute before curtain and we went on an hour and a half late. WooHoo!
BTW looked like the passive speaker connectors were XLR - how old is that stuff anyways?

Re: the speaker connectors...
The older EP-style speaker connectors looked a lot like giant Switchcraft XLR connectors. Most newer stuff is speakon, but nothing wrong with EP's. There are a lot of EP connectors out there rocking away.

Thanks, I had never seen those before (or at least didn't notice them) - rated at 20A I see:

I remember seeing some cabs that used XLR 30 years ago. Any idea why SpeakOn beat out EP ?

Re: Woodstock CT fair provider?
BTW I did this stage a couple months ago - I think two pair of Floodlights not splayed was a bit of overkill but hey, it sure looked vintage R&R

Re: Woodstock CT fair provider?
When I started my next sound company in a different location (Atlanta) I used the Speakons. They had their own set of issues, but I still preferred them.
Back in the 80's I was using the EP connectors when the Speakons came out. My problems with the EP vs the speakons were 1: price The EP's were much more expensive. 2: The EP's seemed to keep loosing parts/screws etc.

The "Turbo-people" here actually use Amphenol connectors for Floodlight tops and 4 pin XLR for the subs (728???). So Ron may have seen correctly the first time around.
