  1. Would it be worth looking out for a 2nd-hand Zero88 or similar desk for the "non-experts" to use?
  2. Looking again, they look more like 1W or 2W, like the 100R one on the left. The position of the brown band on the toasted ones suggests a multiplier of 10. Unfortunately the Techpro PSU cct diagram doesn't give a value for the appropriate one.
  3. If all else fails, dabbing an AA battery works just fine.
  4. Someone here should be able to give you a definitive answer, but in the meantime - They will be quite low-value, but look like 1/4W, so maybe 10s of Ohms, & presumably acted as fuses when the supply was shorted out. Why don't you bypass them for the time being & see whether the belt-packs spring into life?
  5. A friend of mine used to hump around a load of large CRT TVs for the local am-dram musicals, which all used an off-stage MD & band.
  6. Sorry, crossed-wires🙁 - I was thinking of a using a digital TV system for audio show-relay, which would mean all word cues would have to marked-up about 2 words early!!!
  7. It does to the sound op, if he/she is behind glass, especially if sharing a room with lighting.
  8. Sounds like what highways contractors use for holding things down (which they then leave behind in the nearest hedge!!😥)
  9. Well, maybe. Back in the day I used to record all the musicals I worked on, & flog audio cassettes to the cast (though whether they were played more than once, or indeed if at all, I wouldn't know). But this was before every waking-breath has to be recorded & shared with the rest of the world (which of course will include the licence & copyright police). The only video I made was for the playwright, so copyright wasn't an issue. As mentioned above, be very careful who you share anything with that might end up online.
  10. Presumably they are still hand-carved out of ingots of precious metal, but the gnomes now demand executive pay rates🤔
  11. Possibly just wants 4 mics across the front (not an uncommon way to record a choir), but trying to do it with 2 stereo recorders. Synching up using something like Audition might work, then panning the LH recorder tracks to hard-left & centre-left, & the others to centre-right & hard-right; all a bit tedious to do & may well sound horrible! Better to use 4 mics & a 4-channel mixer & record the stereo output, if you have the gear. Otherwise just use one central recorder.
  12. I certainly preferred the price!!

    Audio attenuation

    Presumably started off life as a Balance control for a(n unbalanced) stereo source
  14. If you were that close to the stage were you maybe overloading the receivers (XSWs are probably not as robust as G2s & G3s)?
  15. Wickes 18mm 8'x4' is still £40.
