Indigo 6500 LED moving head
•
•
•
•
The light I am going to use is the Indigo 6500 LED Moving head 180w LED output gobos and
prism.
The Indigo 6500 is on the market to replace the MSR575 and HMI575 discharge spot fixtures.
Combining multiple LED sources and unique optics, the Indigo 6500 is an economic and
compact solution for small to medium productions or installations. The Indigo 6500 is
another leap forward for LED in its occupation at the entertainment lighting market. this can
be operated by Sunlite software which means you can pre-program before a show which is
very useful. it can rotate 360 degrees it can tilt, pan and is very versatile in its movement. it
has interchangeable gobos and many colour + white.

Moving head
They work moving the entire body, they could be “spot” fixtures or wash fixtures which
are designed for a wider area.
Moving mirror (scanners)
They are stationary and a mirror, this redirects the light by tilting, panning and
reflecting the light.
The most common features of these automated lights are:
Pan: moving from side to side, most have to pan settings, one is fast and one is slower
and more precise.
Tilt: moving up and down, again most have to, “coarse” and “fine”.
Colour: there are two ways these lights can change:
Dichroic filters in a colour wheel, only one colour can be chosen at a time and May or
may not be replaced.
Again dichroic filters, with the secondary colours, these can be mixed to create any
colour.
Zoom/Iris: used to zoom in and out.
Gobo: they have a gobo wheel, some have two allowing you to mix gobos.
Intensity: the brightness of the light, this can be controlled electronically.
Shutter
These are used to strobe the light.
Other features which are moving lights, prisms, distorted glass and motor speeds.
Many companies make accessories which are used to add moving functions to
conventional, static and fixtures.

LEDJ Stratos wash
• I have chose the LEDJ Stratos Wash. The Stratos Wash
and Stratos Spot feature an infinite colour pallette
allowing the user to create thousands of washes of
constantly changing colour effects. 336 Ultra Bright
10mm LEDs ensure that light coverage is both even and
powerful. it has sound control via a internal
microphone, 336 LEDs with RGB colour mixing and
individual control of each colours.

I will use this to light up the stain glass windows in the church.
This is different to the moving head as it is a fixed wash and is
used to light up a wide area.
Scenario:
In an Art
exhibition If a
light was needed
to light up a
window.
I would use this
light to complete
this specification
due to the type of
light it is as it is a
wash light I
creates a perfect
wash of light and
because it is an
LED light it can
change colour and
preprogramed to
do so.
Comparison:
This light in comparison to a
Flood light is equally as useful
but both for different uses.
This light would be more
approatily used when lighting up
a small area of a stage or room
to create a wash and is perfect
for this purpose, A flood light is
a lot less versatile only offering
the one light source/colour ( a
yellow tungsten colour),
meaning that if a show required
multiple colours then a flood
light would not be best suited an
Led wash light would be because
you can create any colour from
LED.
Advantages and disadvantages
- An advantage of it
being an Led wash
light is it has no heat
output , Multiple
colours are available
and a low power
consumption.
- Not
versatile in
its
movement
and anyting
other than
creating a
wash.
- It could
have an
electronic
malfunction.
Set up of Lights
•
On Saturday the 7th December we met up at
Street at 1, we then proceeded to go to the church. after
unloading moving heads, cables and stratus wash's we each chose
a light and then set it up in the main room, we had to make sure
that no cables were running along the floor and to make it look
neat! I set up a stratus wash LED light up near a pillar so it lit it up,
we did not DMX it, I plugged it straight to the mains with the use
of an extension cable then inky used 3 channels and put it on a
colour run through. I then helped others out with their lights. we
ran out of time and as a result not everyone could have a go using
sunlight with the moving heads so we will do this soon.
The pictures below are of me setting up some Stratos wash lights
Different types of Equinox lights
• The Equinox Nimbus laser creates a really impressive new
style effect from it’s extremely small and compact housing.
Multiple dazzling effects are created which have to be seen
to be believed. Using wide angle projection, it displays
hundreds of beams, filling your venue or dance floor with a
mesmerizing light show.
• The Blaze from Equinox offers a stunning, rich multicoloured display similar to a traditional moonflower. With
sound activation it projects pin sharp beams which stands
shoulder to shoulder with any other moonflower around.
Virtually no heat is produced and with no lamp to replace it
will prove to be a first class light effect for thousands of
hours without consuming a single lamp.

Today I started of revising what I already knew about lighting, then moved on to
Fresnel, Profile, PC (Pebble Convex), Flood and Parcan.
Fresnel: this light uses a circular reflector, it’s not very precise but gives a soft edged
beam and also spreads a great deal of light. The light can be focused but cannot project
a gobo image. It’s not very efficient but works well on states, especially when close.
Profile: this light is very efficient and uses one or more lenses, and an ellipse ideal
reflector to focus the light, they usually have a longer body than the Fresnel, and has
little spill.
The can use gobos and shutters, most have a fixed beam angle.
They are good for projections and mid/long range.
PC (Pebble Convex): its a cross between the Fresnel and the Profile, the beam is similar
to an out of focus Profile, but is more efficient than the Fresnel and produces less spill.
Flood: it’s an uncontrolled light and produces a wide illumination, it has no lens and
relies on a large reflector to direct the light out, this produces enormous amounts of
spill.
Flood lights are usually used to produce colour washes.
Parcan: it’s a sealed lamp, consisting of a lens, filament and reflector.
It’s got an extremely robust bulb able to operate at high temperatures and short
flashes.
It’s has a metal tube round the front of the bulb. It weighs light but produces a very
bright, white light. It cannot be focused and is a soft ellipse wi little definition.
It’s suited to a wide range of duties, mostly band lighting.
A recap of setting up lights
• Today we recapped DMX chains, we used 4 LED
washes and 2 moving heads, we set them up in a
chain, and worked out which channel they would
use.
Lighting desk
• The RGBW4C by ADJ is a 32-channel RGB, RGBW or RGBA LED controller. It
was designed to control any standard 3 or 4 channel group of LED fixtures
where channel 1 is Red, channel 2 is Green, channel 3 is Blue and channel
4 is White or Amber. Up to 8 LED fixtures or fixture groups can
independently be controlled via four fixture buttons. All LED fixtures or
fixture groups must be set to run in DMX mode and be addressed four
channels apart for independent control. The units control panel includes 9
direct access Static Colour/Chase buttons, which contain pre-programmed
colour presets and chase programs, 3 user programmable colour preset
buttons, 4 multi function faders that control RGBW intensities on the fly,
as well as chase program Speed, chase program Fade Time and Master
Dimmer. There is also an array of 8 buttons used to select the operation
mode, including RGB Fade, Auto Run, Colour Macro, Chase, Sound Active,
Strobe, Manual RGBW and Blackout modes. The RGBW4C is one of the
simplest and most versatile LED controllers available today. Its ideal for
D.J.s, nightclubs, lounges, bars and anyone that wants easy control of LED
Pars, Bars, Floods or Panels.
http://www.thomann.de/gb/american_dj_led_controller_rgbw4c.htm
Scenario:
A theatre play
needs lights to
be controlled
whilst the
show I being
preformed.
I would use
this piece of
equipment
because it is a
32 channel
lighting desk
and could
easily be used
to control the
fixtures.
Comparison:
This Desk in comparison to a Zero
88 ORB console is not as efficient
and not as versatile. The reason
being this is that the ORB is a
digital desk the main reason this is
important is that pre-set paths and
controls can be preprogramed.
it includes an onscreen colour
picker, gobo image display and a
clear user interface. The RGBWC4
is a manual desk this means that
you cannot preprogramme any
pre-sets. And there is no display.
Advantages and disadvantages
-It has 32
channels so
can control
many lights.
- It includes 9
direct access
Static
Colour/Chase
buttons,
which contain
preprogrammed
colour
presets.
- It can easily
control LED
Pars, Bars,
Floods or
Panels.
- Its not
digital so
you
cannot
preprogra
me paths
for
moving
heads etc.
- This
means it
also does
have a
display
screen
Equipment I have looked at
• we have looked at laser’s for example, cam laser scan 1000 3D, this
made 3d shapes using lasers. lasers work best when used with a
smoke machine and when it is dark. you would find them at most
disco/club environments. we have also looked at LED’s for example
an LED wash, this spreads over a wide area creating a glow effect.
these also work better in the dark. they are found also in a
disco/club environment but also at corporate events and almost any
where which is being lit up. we have has also looked at Gobo
projectors these project a Gobo/ Logo onto a surface. again these
work better in the dark. these are largely used at corporate events
as their logo can be projected around the room/event. we have also
looked at computer controlled lighting for example the Intimidator
LED 350 this is controlled by the software Sun Lite, it use’s LED and
also Gobo’s it can be controlled by the computer and presets can be
made. again it works best in a dark environment. it is used a large
gig’s, disco/club’s and corporate event.

•
Today we went next door and set up 3 sm58s for vocals and one AKG microphone for an acoustic guitar,
to the Yamaha LS9 desk. We learnt how to use the hi pass filter and what that means/does. It’s used to
take low end out do noises (breathing) are taken out of the mix, we learnt about the EQ set up and how
to operate it. We then played around turn mic’s up and down as well as adding some effects so we
understand the desk for April 4th
this shot shows the channels
we had used and what we
might use.
this shot shows the back of
the LS9 and where the XLR’s
are plugged in as well as
other leads.
This shot shows
the end channels
and the master
channel (the red
fader)
The screen on the
LS9, this is like a
computer screen
and is a visual aid
to guide you
round the desk.
This is also how
you save and
select presets and
effects.
The set up for the 24th open evening
• Today we gathered the equipment we need for the 24th, the equipment is
as follows:
• QSC K12 tops and subs, 4 sm58, 3 sm57, ls9 mixing desk, 8 mic stands, 6 DI
box’s, multicore 8channel, 3 extension cables, spare 9v battery’s, XLR
cables etc.
• we checked these items off the list and had to make some changes to the
equipment we are using (as you will see if you look at the equipment list
which is an older post). This will be set up on the 23rd in preparation for
the gig. After sourcing the equipment we sent into the training rooms and
set the task of blogging the day.
Assessment of microphones
• Shute SM58- vocals because of its cardioid pattern. SM57it’s patterns are different, mainly used for instruments
because of its SPL levels (sound pressure level). AKG
se300b- it’s a condenser, a lot more sensitive, requires 48
volts. DI box, direct injection, allows you to pad signals
(take 20db out) and TSS takes an unbalanced signal and
turns it into. Balanced signal. Desks ZED-436 analog, cannot
preset any channels, all manual, no effects, gates
or compressors. LS9 digital, can preset channels,
motorised faders, gates and compressors as well as effects.
•
Set up of Sound
•
I was in the sound team, I wrote the kit (what we needed) I helped gather it and how many stands, mic’s
etc. We started off making at kit list which is below, then gathered the equipment. next we got a lift to
studio school. when we arrived we unloaded the equipment into the lobby and took it up to the upper
concourse with use of the lift. we then set up the stage, and transported more from the school over to the
college. We decided where the speakers and sound desk would go. We put the sound desk near the door
to music but not I front over or behind so the door would not be blocked by the desk or a cable running
along the floor. We (me and Sam) then set up the active speakers and tidied the cables up using gaffer
tape (black), then set up microphones and tested the mixing desk using Ethan’s phone for the source of
music. Then tidied up the cases and remaining spear cables etc. what could have been done better ? If we
had permission clips could have been used to hang the cable so the sound desk could be put in a better
place and better rigging could have been used.
POL set up
•
It was held in the Daylo at rye studio school, we started unpacking at 3pm and started at 4:30pm.we each
in groups presented what we have learnt in production arts. This was part of our BTec module where we
could operate a sound desk, lighting and presentations, it was also put in so other people could understand
what we learn in production arts and how it has helped us in the long and short term. When unpacking my
role was setting up the QSC K12,s and Ksubs. i had to run an extension from the power source to reach the
set of QSCs on the stage left, but the K12 subs on top of the Ksubs, i ran and XLR from the top to the sub
then behind the curtain at the back through to the mixer, i ran it behind the curtain so it look neat. My role
in the POL was to operate the sound desk for Monica’s group which meant turning the microphones to the
right levels, the most difficult part was getting Monica’s lapel mic to the right level as at the start she was
standing near the monitors which created feedback, the lapel the mic had to be turned slightly down
compared to the SM58s so it wasn’t creating feedback.
Shure SM58
• SM58

Comparison:
Scenario:
A live music
show needs a
microphone
for a vocalist.
This
microphone
perfectly fits
the criteria for
this spec as it
has a
cardaroid
pattern
specifically
designed for
this use.
.
This microphone compared to
a Shure Sm57 is much better
suited to vocals.
It has a warm tone and great
for clear vocals this is because
it is tailored to target the main
sound source while
minimizing background noise.
The Shure Sm57 is great for
micing up guitars, bass and
many other instruments, this
is again because of its
cadariod pattern. The
contoured frequency
response with its presence
rise, helps the instrument cut
better through the main mix.
Advantages and disadvantages
It targets the
main source of
sound and
minimizes the
background
noise, this
makes the vocal
very clear and
It also gives a
warm tone.
Its been a
industry
leading
microphone
for many years
used
worldwide.
It isn't best
suited for use
with

Shure Beta 87A
• The Shure Beta 87A is a premium quality super cardioid handheld condenser vocal microphone with great smooth frequency
response and high sound pressure level capability. It is ideal for a
lead or backing vocalist either on stage, for live recording or in the
studio.
• The Beta 87A features a controlled low-frequency roll-off that
compensates for proximity effect and prevents the “boom” sound
mostly associated with close pick-up. The
tailored frequency response with its presence rise , brightens the
upper midrange and helps the vocals cut through the mix. The
tight super cardioid pattern provides maximum isolation from other
vocalists or instruments while offering minimal off-axis coloration. It
operates on phantom power.
• RRP: £ 289.20
http://www.shure.co.uk/products/microphones/beta_87a
Scenario:
A studio recording
session needs a
microphone for a
vocalist.
This microphone is
great for a live
recording or studio
as Its super
cardioid polar
pattern provides
maximum isolation
from nearby
vocalists or
instruments.
It also prevents
that “boomy”
sound you may
encouter with close
pickups.
Comparison:
In comparison to a Shure Sm58 it is
far superior in the correct
application.
It contains a super cardioid polar
pattern which means that any noise
from nearby will not be picked up by
the microphone even though the
Shure SM58 does the contain a
cardioid pattern which is applied to
the same idea, the Shure Beta 87a
provides a far crisper and smooth
output, it is also far more effective
at isolating the source of sound and
is predominantly used for recording
(live or in a studio).
Advantages and disadvantages
-Its super
cardioid polar
pattern provides
maximum
isolation.
-It prevents that
“boomy” sound
you may
