Brian Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Having just jokingly suggested this in another topic I thought I'd float the idea. The Blue Room Shootout Weekend We find somewhere where we can all get to. Everyone brings along whatever units they can fit in their car. And we do some side-by-side tests and measurements. Thoughts?

alistermorton Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 If nothing else it sounds like a fun reason for a BR get together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordontech Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 what 'units'? Im intregued Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart91 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Events like this have been organised by folks on the LAB (Live Audio Board) in the US. There are probably few threads there that would be worth mining for ideas. There have been subwoofer shootouts, and some very in depth comparisons of various graphic EQs. You might find it easier to have one or two specific areas to focus on. E.g. LED lanterns and digital desks, to take two topics that have had much discussion on the board of late. If you have people bringing everything and anything, it will still be a fun day, but difficult to draw any meaningful results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alistermorton Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 what 'uniits'? Im intregued Spots (Tungsten Halogen/Disharge/LED ) to get a comparison of the relative whiteness and brightness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 Yep, I was specifically thinking of LED units, both static and movers. Tested alongside something everyone can relate to like a MAC250. Although if anyone wanted to bring anything else along it might be interesting. If there was enough interest I could probably get a room near me for the weekend FOC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jivemaster Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 The Charnwood Arms Coalville is used by the disco boys for comparison days. Pub restaurant with function room carpark and a few rooms Very convenient for the M1. www.fayre-square.com/pub/charnwood-arms...hill-coalville/m8620/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam L F Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I'll bring a Space Cannon? Haha, sounds like a great event you have planned, but as I do not drive, I'd be unable to take part! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas1987 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Sounds like a plan! I've got some Mac 350s, 101s, ipix gear etc - the 350s have a bad rep on here and I rather like them so would love to change people's minds! Plus a beer is always a chuckle! Bit middle of nowhere but if you want to do a northern one, my venue in Preston's available :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferretwrangler Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Sounds like a brilliant idea! As per all the other offers, Im happy to loan out our warehouse and any hire stock thats of interest.

University of Glamorgan Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 The Lighting and Live Event team at the University of Glamorgan would be willing to host this event for Blue Room members at either our Cardiff or Trefforest campus. PM if you are interested! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommulliner Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Don't own anything myself but would love come along, meet some people and see what kit is floating around out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the kid Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Might I suggest a new place as well ? to look at a combo of all the new tech possible ? possibly something like RSC Stratford ? The Backstage Academy up north, Backstage Stage Centre down south and London way. I am 100% up for a shootout event. Other option, maybe crazy, but a ABTT/PLASA stand much like the TV lighting stand a few years back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley R Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 So who here wants to fly me out from Australia with some kit (Found some 50w and 150w LED Profiles, that don't cost an arm or a leg) http://www.blue-room.org.uk/public/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif I will try to bring the Australian sun with me! http://www.blue-room.org.uk/public/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
