You'll be fine using those paddles with the ASA-1. Just remember to keep the a minimum of 1/4 wavelength apart. Ideally 1 wavelength.

I wouldn't bother with any sort of amplifier until you reach longer lengths of coax. As Cedd says, RG213 is the way to go as you'll only lose about 6db over a 30m run. RG58 is about 15db of loss.

Hi all,

Looking at setting up an Elation E Node 4 to be able to run CAT5 from a Zero 88 FLX and take DMX out of Node into fixtures. I’m struggling to get it working. Has anyone used this setup or specifically the E Node that could advise please?

Hi,

 

For context, I'm in a school where our "theatre" is a stage at the end of a sports hall and the audience sit at floor level. I'm trying to work out how I can get a couple of 13 year olds to run follow spots. My options seem to be (1) hire some form of remote followspot / controller for a moving head, or (2) go traditional and build a couple of towers behind the seating. My concern is that (1) doesn't exist / will be too expensive and (2) wouldn't be allowed as I wouldn't be allowed to send the kids up towers.

 

Any advice / experience / suggestions would be very much appreciated.

 

Thanks,

 

David.

Hi David, we hire follow spots and build small platforms from rostra with guard rails around the sides and hazard tape in the edges of the platforms. Each operator is given a good familiarisation session with the spot, a script with cues and, where possible, on comms.

This has worked really well for us! We only us the spots on solo/duet numbers in the shows. Hope this helps?
