Bryson Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 I don't think we need a list of the cables y'all have, guys. Keep it sensible, at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulears Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 It does strike me that if people do say the school's name - then those people who have older/poorer kit could well use this topic, suitably edited, to provide real evidence to the powers that be to back up requests for money. No head likes to be bottom of the pile. Let's try to keep this topic free of O/T chat - as it could become a really useful source of data that many people could use - if the quality level stays high. Moderation: Do you want the mods to keep an eye on this and edit out posts that just say "wow"? If you do, let the mods know my reporting posts that you think spoil it - and we will act if we agree. This is exactly the kind of stuff that shows our younger members in a good light! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt freeman Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Might as well add my school to the list, although it’s not going to be my school much longer. Off to uni time! TBGS has recently build a big multipurpose theatre/hall Installed by Stage electrics, completed April 07 Building-14x6metre stage 250 seat theatre, 500 seat assembly hall/exam room- one of the non theatre related good bits is that we now sit exams on nice comfy chairs. It makes exams so much nicer Drapes: T60 tracks U shape around stage + main house tabs Lighting- Installed by slx: Zero88 Bullfrog (we asked for a strand :D)84 channels of hard wired dimming (zero88 chilli's) - 24 above stage, 4 side stage, rest FOH.+DMX distribution to most places Stuff we already had:1x Zero88 Frog3x Zero88 Beta Packs9x cantata profiles9x prelude F7x Patt2310xrandom floods4x brio 25/5010x P64 Sound- (im not the sound guy, so im reading this straight off the install list) Installed by slx: Allen & heath G2400 24 channelBehringer Ultra CurveTapco "juice series" J800 amplifier2x centre cluster speakers Stuff we got ourselves:7x trantec s4.16 (5 lapels, 2 handheld)3x other old n fairly bad radio mic'sPossibly 3x wired mics1x power mixer (we just use it as an Amp now)1x extremely old 16 channel desk, which we occasionally if we need extra channels. + Projector, screen, and things. its not a bad theatre, but unfortunately the school didn’t realize how much money it would cost them even after it had been built, and the stage and tiered seating still hasn’t be bought, we've hired it for the past two years and its cost a lot. The decision was made to not pay VAT, meaning we can’t hire it out so it has not way of generating any income.oh and the other thing, we've only started teaching drama gcse for the first time this year so that’s about 30 students who get any use out of it. Ah well, I shouldn’t complain it’s given me a massive amount of enjoyment, but I feel the money could have been used to benefit far more of the school.

Just Some Bloke Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 250 Dimmable ChannelsI assume you mean that your 520 can run up to 250 channels of dimmers? How many actual dimmers do you have?A school with any more than 60 would seem like overkill and up to 48 would be more normal: 250 I've never known before!

Reading Toshiboy's profile, it doesn't mention a school. It does mention work at the Theatre Royal in Newcastle, though. That's possibly the spec for there. Which means it doesn't belong in this thread. Please clarify, Toshiboy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Jay Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 I go to Newcastle Performance Academy and no, there is 250 dimmable channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryson Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Aha - the Performance Academy. For those that don't know - it's also a professional venue, attached to Newcastle College. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stutwo Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 I know that place, I would never have guessed it used 250 channels. Is that across all performance spaces or one space? Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
