Progress

All the new gear is racked and ready to be cabled. Tomorrow our contractor is removing the 1d SCSI and pulling coax for D-Show. Things are taking shape nicely! We’ll hear audio through the system by the end of the day tomorrow

Dinner

FOH when we finished for the night.  The Mac Pro is on the floor to the left of the chair, FOH rack is to the right.  Intercom, Mac Minis, and a Wireless unit in first rack to operators right, CD recorders and a CD player in second rack to the right.

Our new stage racks.  Left rack has DMX distribution and audio/video/lighting tie lines with room to grow (blank spaces coming tomorrow).  Right rack houses 18 channels of Shure UHF-R, antenna distribution, PQ and wired ears control, and then two D-Show stage racks at the bottom for 96 input/32 output.

Side view with everything cleared out of the space.  The cables in the mess on the floor by the wall are coming out of the conduit tomorrow.

Table gear in place…time to finish the floor racks

In the middle of the mess.  There were so many cables on the floor for the old system that it took quite a while to straighten everything out.  I’m so pleased with how little is really needed at FOH in the new system.  Our only analog cabling will be to connect a few playback and record devices.

That’s all for today.  Time for bed!!  We start at 8:30a tomorrow.

Ready to roll…

New console part 1

Today’s the day Kensington moves from a PM1D to the Venue platform, as well as integrating 18 new channels of Shure UHF-R! I’m going to document the install in photos and then post all of our install docs once we’re done.

Pray for us…we have to be back up and ready for rehearsal on Tuesday night. A few long days are on the way but what fun it will be!
