The Tascam Model12 is a mixer, on board multi track recorder and a multi-track USB C audio interface. Unfortunately, it's big brothers, Model16 & Model24 are USB 2. I have the Model16, which I'll be using to do live recordings this summer, belt & suspenders mode, on board recording and audio...

Steinberg has a USB C UR816C audio interface. I haven't used it, but I am using a UR44C, to record into a laptop at 192KHz and 64 bit float.

I wasn't aware of the terminal block. I have one in a small theater in Manhattan, set up with Stage Pins. I had to change out a channel that burned up during a show. Not too hard. It was harder to reprogram my show, to account for the missing channel, until the replacement board arrived. It also...

I vote for the person who actually understands DMX addressing, which is sometimes presented in decimal, sometimes in hexadecimal and sometimes in binary. The person who can figure out how to configure multiple channel fixtures to not overlap, unless that's what's intended. The person who...

I had something similar once with a single Arri fixture. In my case, I just had to disconnect the power for a minute, and it reset to normal operation.

These units come with either Edison or Stage Pins connectors. They aren't hardwired.

I can relate. In the early 1970s, being too lazy to fix the mis-wired standby switch, on my Ampeg Gemini VI, I ran a ground wire from my amp, to the PA, to my brother's guitar amp. One day my brother forgot the ground wire to his amp. We started our first song, and as my brother stepped up to...

How many rooms are you talking about, and what kind of budget do you have? Multi color LED Pars will give you a lot of color options, but may require a board with more sliders than you're thinking of.If you are interested in having color options, you may want to look at fixtures that have a 2...

I'm guessing you've never had to save a show on an ETC Express Board. :)

Most installations I've seen, have the receivers near the stage, with a snake connecting them to the booth. The greater the distance between the transmitter and receiver, as well as physical obstructions, the greater the chance of interference. With 28 wireless mics, I assume you're in a fairly...

The Rockville, being a powered mixer, would generally need to be relatively close to the stage, otherwise you will have signal loss. That may or may not be an issue for you, but it doesn't have a Monitor Out.The Yamaha MG20 has a dedicated Monitor Out, which would be needed for the scenario...

Just a couple of thoughts. Unless I missed it, you indicate where the receivers are, in relation to the transmitters. Again, unless I missed it, you didn't indicate what types of problems you were experiencing with the wireless mics. You did go into some detail regarding the frequency bands, so...

Thank you SteveB.

I've just done a couple of shows at the Langston Hughes branch of the Queens Public Library. They currently have 8 Altman 360Qs, but could use 4 more to provide better coverage for their stage. I was just wondering if a generous NYC venue might have some retired lekos that they'd consider...

Just throwing my two cents in. A low cost (cheap) fixture can last a long time, if they are handled properly. Unfortunately, some of the theaters I work in, allow virtually anyone to do whatever they want to do with the lights in the theater. This is why I don't allow most productions to use my...
