I agree that I prefer my S4s over my older units, but the original poster was looking for lamp solutions for the L&E Zooms.

In-Reply-To: Hello all, I am looking to replace some nasty Shure WL 184 lavs within the next few weeks. I have a few Sennheiser MKE II, which I like quite a bit. The issue, of course, is money. I already know you get what you pay for... I am wondering if anyone has some ideas for lavs about the size of the MKE II that retails for less. Something that has perhaps flown under my radar. I've looked at DPA and Countryman, too. I am trying to avoid $299-$400 per mic as I'll need eight or nine of them. Oh, they are also going on Shure LX packs. So I need something with a TA4F connector and simply don't have time to do that bit myself. Any info is appreciated.

Rees" Subject: Truss Questions Hi All, We have been plagued with a "homemade" triangular lighting truss that the state installed about 10 years ago. I won't burden you with all the things that are wrong with it, but we think we have convinced campus Environmental Health and Safety to find funding to replace it. I'd like some opinions before I move too far forward if you don't mind. They want us to do the initial specs for them. The proposed new truss will fit in a space just downstage of the proscenium arch that is about 3 feet deep and about 30 feet tall. The new truss can be up to 50' long. There is a center cluster speaker at the DS edge of the space that the existing truss just passes by w/o hitting. The existing truss is on two CM 1-ton motors which will be reused. I also have 2 new CM 1-tons available if we wanted to split the truss into 2 halves at the centerline. We would move the existing points to accommodate this. We typically mount S4s on 19" centers with cable bundles off both ends for an estimate of total load. Here are my questions then, after a perusal of Tomcat and Thomas catalogs. 1.Should we look at square, rectangular or triangular truss? The existing one is triangular installed apex down which centers lighting fixtures in the space. 2.If we use triangular truss with the apex down, how much capacity is lost by this method. All specs I see (and recommended installation) is for apex up. Reduction info is not given. 3. If you had a choice, would you do one full-length truss or two half-length pieces? I like the flexibility that two pieces would offer. 4. How big does the truss have to be? 12x12, 12x18, 20.5x20.5, etc. Any assistance would be very much appreciated. TIA.

A rigging question. I think I know someone who can answer that one. Hang on a sec..... From my viewpoint, the deciding factors here are First...you are using 1 ton hoists so you have the potential for hanging 4,000 pounds on a truss. Not that you would, but the motors would hold that much weight. Second. The distance between the motors. You will need to make a decision on the one truss or two concept before you go any further. The distance between pick up points seriously affects the load ratings available. The type of truss is not that big a concern. Box truss is in favor these days, but triangle could make a comeback. Ya never know. The deal really is...how are you going to use it? If you really like the apex down method because you like you fixtures all in a row, they stay with the triangle truss, point down. The truss manufacturers will be all too happy to supply you with those specs. You just need to call them. (Contact me privately for contact names/numbers) If you want to mount a raceway inside the truss, or if you want lights more upstage/downstage oriented, then maybe box truss would be more appropriate. The important thing to remember is that the truss is there to serve you. Try to figure oout what you will be doing with it, and what you might be doing with it in a year or three, and then chose the one for you. Does it matter that triangle truss isn't popular these days? Not a bit. Just means some fancy pants designer decided that box truss looked better. Zat help? Be well Bill S.

I know the EHG is a classic tried and true, but I would like something that is a smaller wattage, but still give out nearly the same amount of light as a 1K. http://www.productionadvantageonline.com/lampdata.htm#Table_2 According to the table, the GLC puts out more lumens than the EHG at a savings of 175 watts. The GLA does put out fewer lumens but my experience has been that when properly bench focused the unit puts out more light than a comparable unit with an EHG. The smaller filament means fewer lumens are lost by not being at the focal point of the reflector. Interestingly enough, the GLA puts out more lumens than the comparable HPL long life lamps.

One thing to note is that the colour temp for the GLA's (long life) is 3100K. Philips now also supply a GLD 750W lamp. This is a significantly brighter than the GLC. I know the Selecon Pacific 575W series of fixtures can use this lamp. I'm not sure if any other fixtures have any current and/or heat issues.

Date: Wed, 1 Sep 2004 18:22:13 -0400 A question for the venerable sound folk: Does anyone have any recommendations for Mac OS X-based playback software with features equal (or similar) to Stage Research's SFX? My designer wants to be able to play back eight outputs via an Echo Audio Layla 24 card, which is cross-platform, but SFX is win-only. Aside from my own platform preference (no flamewars please :-), I already have a spare G4 in house, and would like to consider other software options before I invest.

From: "John Hauer" References: In-Reply-To: Hello, I have -- for years - adapted weakly performing email calendar software to schedule my spaces. What a pain. As I look at the task of entering data manually again -- for every day in the next 10 months -- I started to look for calendar software that could do that job for me. At least one where I could set a weekly schedule of possible events and then adapt that. Ideally, I could find a product that could generate a per event view, a weekly view and monthly view. Perhaps I could have a monthly view, but when you click on the day you want, you can see what the conflict are for the space of interest. Yes, I have thought of writing a web page with layers. I'd really rather find a calendar product that is ready to go. So what is the hardest part? I have a performance space that has classes scheduled into it. Then there are special events that can bump a class. Also, there are shows and related builds and techs. I need other users to be able to see if the space is busy without going through much hassle. Also having web access would be good. So, if it functioned in Internet Explorer that would solve some problems too. Any ideas? Any body doing this?

The Nomad does not. I thought so, too, at first. By default, the iPod sync's itself to your iTunes library. But it doesn't have to. You can choose to manually configure the iPod, and then you can treat it as a separate library. Which is good, since my iPod has a bigger hard drive than my iMac... I do also use it as an external hard drive for backups, transfers to other computers, and all sorts of other nifty things. --jamesf ------------------------------ From: Subject: RE: performance scape scheduling software?? Date: Wed, 1 Sep 2004 17:40:24 -0700 In-Reply-To: Message-Id: It sounds like youre looking for project management capabilities, not just a calendar. I'd recommend checking out a web-based open-source option such as eGroupware. It takes a bit of know-how to set it up, but its great to manage timelines, esp with group collaboration and access in mind. It has gannt charts, discussion area, calendar/timelines, notes, and more - and its free. You can look at it here http://www.egroupware.org/ Click on the link for the demo site and you can see a sample of its capabilities.

I don't know about the playback software, but you could run VirtualPC, which lets you run Windows software on a Mac. I don't know how much of a performance hit it might or might not take, but I've heard generally good things about machine emulation on Macs.
