    The Weekly Rig is here!  This week, the fourth week in the series, we call EL DIABLO — a rig of Trusst and CHAUVET Professional fixtures that gives your production a new look to bring big, bold, in your face design to wherever you play!

    EL DIABLO uses several pieces of Trusst trussing, from the 3m Arc sections to the 1m straight sticks and a few bits in between.  The structure itself leads itself to being able to position a drummer, percussionist, or other specialist right directly under the main rig, which supports itself via its unique legging structure.

    Full parts and equipment list for EL DIABLO:

    TRUSST Trussing:

    2 x 3m Arc section, CT290-430CIR-90
    2 x 1.5m straight section, CT290-415S
    2 x 3m straight section, CT290-430S
    10 x 1m straight section, CT290-410S
    8 x 6-Way Corner Block, CT290-6WAYC

    CHAUVET Professional Fixtures:

    4 x Legend 330 SR Spot
    4 x Legend 230 SR Beam
    8 x Rogue R2 Spot
    7 x COLORado Batten 72 Tour

    The Weekly Rig from CHAUVET Professional and TRUSST – Soul Mirrors!

    Written by on . Posted in Uncategorized.

    It’s time for the third installment of CHAUVET Professional and Trusst‘s weekly series, The Weekly Rig!

    weekly-rig-3-blue

    This week we feature a larger design that includes a scenic element of mirror-finished conical discs hanging behind the act, which in this application is an EDM-style design.  With TRUSST arcs compiled into circle lighting positions, this design is created to make the best use out of music in the electronic style!

    Keep in mind that it’s always a good idea to sandbag the rear ends of any structure that has a front-heavy load.  This helps ballast the pieces and add additional safety to standing pieces on stage.

    This week’s design, which we’re calling Soul Mirrors, features Trusst 1.5m and 3m arcs, 1m, 2.5m, and 3m straight sections, and Trusst 6-way corners to make the connections where needed.  On the CHAUVET Professional fixture front, Soul Mirrors features Legend 330 SR Spots, Legend 230SR Beam fixtures, Legend 412Z wash heads, the venerable COLORado Batten 144 Tour, and the bright and punchy COLORado 4 IP units.

    Check it out, and please share with your fellow lighting communities!

    Happy Tuesday, lighting lovers!

    This fine Tuesday morning, we have one simple question on our minds:  Do you know how to correctly coil a cable?  Now before you go arm-wrapping that triax or fiber (or anything else that looks like a cable), watch this quick video and make sure your skill is up-to-par!

    Thanks to the London School of Sound for the video, and Atlantic Cable for the great image!
