Ive got 5 and rented another 7 for use for a tv filming special production, the camera crew loved them, apart from the moment when the focus puller pushed the mic behind her head and all everyone could hear was the audience behind her laughing....
the range was good we had video village downstairs under and behind the stage and the range worked to bo office at the from of the building.
they're not as robust as tecpro/asl wired but more affordable than most wireless systems, only downside is they are limited to 16 headsets maimum.... however when I need more I rent in clear com system from CT for 32 headsets... and that's a much better animal but much more epencive option.
yes theyre ok for an average volume but not quite isolated/volume for pit festival work..... but for small theatre/musicals/type thing great. but order a spare set of batteries they last a gig, but having spares if your running from event to event..
ooh yes we've also used them for corporate events, when the lx was in the box and sound was FOH and video was side of stage and FOH had a set to hear how we were getting on.

KnM stands have a huge range, or Manfrotto's Magic arms/clamps are great with a huge range of adaptors, and on amazon there's plenty of magic arm alikes to try, I have a heavy duty tablet clamp for a Microsoft surface that I use for my sons eye gaze and that's solid and portable.

I Have a Mac and a Chamsys PC Wing Compact, you do only have 10 physical faders however you can page up to the next ten and so on... for I think 10 pages of 10... I use my Mac as I can run the visualiser in a second screen or MagicQ also has a good HD video player too... but you need a good machine to keep up...
a touch screen would be a great option as then it would really work like a real desk!
but for the little shows I use it on its perfect.
hope that helps.

I know a small theatre that has some pulsar dimmers they are looking to shift... in the ascot area... I think they've got some old zero88 betas too and a demux to boot. if thats close to your faulty ones you could use the 3 ( I think) they have I uninstalled them 10 years ago and they have just sat in a dimmer room getting dusty.
hope that might help.

This is a rough idea of cue structure when plotting a show.. if your creating it, its worth breaking it down to make programming easier as you'll know what's an exact copy or what needs changing. hope this helps. - I do this for Am Dram/Pro Productions/gigs/corp shows/it makes it simple to tack changes and a quick blind plotting too.
Cue 001 - Blackout
Cue 002 - Preset (add 3sec fade) in cue line on stack
Cue 003 - Sc1 (add 3sec fade)
Cue 004 - Sc2 (add fade)
Cue 005 - Sc3 (same as sc1 so copy (take note of DrV's linked/unlinked cues can be helpful but also a hinderance)
Cue 006 - Sc4
Cue 007 - Sc5 (same as Sc1 but with different colour perhaps, check unlinked cue if this is the case)
Cue 008 - Blackout (copy of Cue001)
Cue 009 - Curtain call
Cue 010 - preset v2 for walk out....
Cue 011 - light for de-rig/out
Cue 500 - Rig check cue
Cue 997 - Reset/lamp on
Cue 998 - Reset/lamp off
hope this helps a little
