What I want to do is deaden the floor impact noise by adding a rubber or like product in-between the layers. I need to remove the hollow sound and any chance of vibration from sub. Probably end up with a rubber based matting at around 10mm

I have an upcoming stage to build and would like to use a sound deadening product to deaden to stage, looking for anyone who has particularly done this and what product was used. there's a vast amount of products out there.. but which is the question. The stage will be built using the 4x4ft metal stage frames with the thick drop in plywood sheets, then we will add onto this the insulation layer and screw down 18mm plywood over the top. The top ply will also be carpet tiled. This will make a good solid stage construction. Any recommendations? UK based

Not really a question post, just saying what I'm currently involved with and my thoughts, and yours hopefully. I have a oldish rig which is due to have some upgrades in a church auditorium, used for bands, some productions and their normal weekend. Featuring a 14 metre rear truss with 4 mac 600s 4 smart macs, a couple of 650w profiles and 4 LED pars, then a forward of front of stage truss with four source 4 Zooms, a bunch of 500w fresnels/ 1000w par cans and on the floor 2 mac 600s used to sideways wash a large rear curtain which is quite effective. Overall a rig with few fixtures but can still be quite effective. The mac 600s do great, right amount of output but... old so living on the edge of failure. Smart macs are relatively new but so underpowered and only with fixed colour wheels and a fixed beam angle. Plan is to swap out the 600s and Smart macs and add in new above stage truss. Now if money was bountiful this would be fab, but with budgets which get squeezed it gets a harder to choose how to get the best quality, quantity for the £. Definitely don't want to be heading down the budget moving head department, its got to work well and last. Thinking of the quality second hand rather than the cheap new, so that limits down choice and suitability on availability, The Establishment want LED fixtures too! Was considering the mac Aura XB or Clay Paki B eye as the 600 swap as both have a great wash and zoom capability. The profiles possibly to Martin ERA400's as all these I can currently get S/H. Quite fancied the quantum profile, tho maybe bit seriously bright? Both these last two have CMY colour mixing which is really a must in what I'm looking for. The Front of house Fresnels need to go, too underpowered so want something in LED the equivalent to a 1000/1200w tungsten fresnel. not looked around hard yet for these, but I see again there's cheap and expensive all with the pros and cons between then. I suspect this may be where I may have to squeeze a little>£<. Quite hard really to make the right choses when on a tight budget hey.

I wonder how the ETC S4WRD LED Color Kit compares to the Lustrs, I see it is a RGBA without white. how is this option at producing white at various ocular temps, I have not found enough information on it as yet.

Im looking to upgrade my source four zooms to LED. Has anyone experience in the colour upgrade compared to the white option. the question is whether the colour option gives out decent white at similar output to the original HPI lamp. I see the colour option operates at a lower wattage so suggests output is lower also. The safe option is the white LED upgrade, but the option of colour would be nice.
