John Kimball replied to Douglas Magnussen's discussion VL 1000, VL 2000, Elation, or Mac?????? in the group Lighting"One thing to consider is console compatibility, is there already a fixture profile or can you write one yourself. Also are there channels available for all fixtures possibly with enough headroom for additional LEDs.
You might also look into LED…"
Gerard Bourcier replied to Douglas Magnussen's discussion VL 1000, VL 2000, Elation, or Mac?????? in the group Lighting"Depending on your budget, the size of your venue, etc, the VL1000 are nice for a theater; shutters, iris, tungsten color temp to blend with your stock units. Maybe you could swing a combination of VL's and Elations or Macs for a little more…"
Rick Reid replied to Douglas Magnussen's discussion VL 1000, VL 2000, Elation, or Mac?????? in the group Lighting"I have some of the Elation 5R Pro. A ton of effects and not bad punch for the $. No where near what a Mac 2000 will do of course, you would be happier with the bigger lamps. I'm seeing quite a few Elation movers out and about. They seem to be…"
Douglas Magnussen replied to Douglas Magnussen's discussion VL 1000, VL 2000, Elation, or Mac?????? in the group Lighting"I know this is impossible, but both? I really want a fixture that is quiet, and can be an area or special, but when I have a jazz, blues or small rock show, can give me a bit of flash."
James Lockhart replied to Douglas Magnussen's discussion VL 1000, VL 2000, Elation, or Mac?????? in the group Lighting"I personal like the Mac 700. Plenty bright and easy to handle. Contact a rental house and rent I couple of different units and try them out. It is best to know what works and does not work for your space."
Gerard Bourcier replied to Douglas Magnussen's discussion VL 1000, VL 2000, Elation, or Mac?????? in the group Lighting"What are you looking to do with these lights? As additional stage lights for areas or specials or concert moving light flash and trash?"
Brad Berridge replied to Douglas Magnussen's discussion Who has a favorite boundary Mic??? in the group Sound Design"Hi Doug-
I am always cautious with boundary or area mics. I always apply the rule, "The loudest thing wins". If there is an actor louder than the rest, even the best mix won't hide it. Same with loud scenery, HVAC, or a…"

Who has a favorite boundary Mic???
Hello All,We have been using PCC160's for years, and sometimes hanging choir mics over the stage for the theater department shows (non musical, refuse to mic actors, they need to project!). I am always looking for a new approach, or a mic that will do a better job. What do you use, for boundary or onstage "hidden" mics to re-enforce non-musuical theater?Thank you,DougSee More
Jeff Wagoner replied to Douglas Magnussen's discussion Making a phone ring-Modern Business, or older in the group Scenery and Props"Tele-Q is definitely the way to go. We did a production in college that had 4 phones ringing as well. Our TD built a simple box with 4 switches and attached the tele-q. The operator was placed in the wings with a view of the action and was able to…"
Brian Miller replied to Douglas Magnussen's discussion Making a phone ring-Modern Business, or older in the group Scenery and Props"I agree with John. Tele-Q. Their website indicates that they are about $160 including AC adapter for purchase. If you need phones to ring individually and at the same time, you will need a couple of them. If the phones each ring at different times,…"
John Shorter replied to Douglas Magnussen's discussion Making a phone ring-Modern Business, or older in the group Scenery and Props"Hi Doug!
I have a Tele-Q which people often rent to ring a phone. It plugs into the phone jack and is rung off stage. You can see it at www.PropRentalsNY.com Look under Telephones. Most people just rent one, even when…"

Making a phone ring-Modern Business, or older
Hello All,We are doing a show that will require a minimum of 4 phones on stage at the same time. I need to get them to ring. We would like to use modern phones, like you would have in a Hotel room or a campaign headquarters (comedy, needs the phone cords to be funny). First off does anyone have an inexpensive power supply for making a phone ring? Does anyone know if the same line voltage from this ringer will make a modern phone ring? I have a quote from a refurbished business phone…See More

I have used them many times and had good luck. Even bought a few things from them. Might not always be the most beutiful, but they are usually reasonable and they…"

Kevin M Reese replied to Douglas Magnussen's discussion Intra/Inter-faith Scripts in the group Plays and Playwriting"Not familiar with Abraham's Daughters, but we have a short (30 min) script that's a new take on the Last Supper-- from the viewpoint of the women serving the Seder meal.
