As the Christmas rush begins there are a few things to keep you all in
the loop.
1. New People
Please welcome Mark and Josh. Mark is helping out with audio and Josh with video. Great to have you guys!
2. Multimedia Audio
After a number of repairs to the cable between the main mixer and the multimedia box I have decided to replace the whole setup. The multipin connector we were using was not very high quality and has allowed connections to break off repeatedly. Since a high grade multi pin connector and a small mixer were close to the same price I went with a small mixer. There are several benefits to this, the first it
simplifies wiring between the boxes, and allows for an easy to access headphone setup for the multimedia operators. It also frees up several channels on the main mixer.
(More info on the "Art" mini mixer)
I also added a second line for an ipod, mostly we use this on communion days.
3. Christmas Decor
I am trying a new setup for Christmas, instead of the floor lights we will be using lights attached to the back curtains. These "rope" lights plug right into the wall and are not on a dimmer. There will be a banner hanging on the left side and a curtain on the right, these will be lit with the 2 LED's. In addition 2 purple curtains will hang on an angle on stage with a couple of candle lit windows in front of them. Please be very careful when moving the curtain as the lights are attached to the curtain sliders.
4. Gym Heat
There is now a key on the key stick in the drawer to turn up the heat in the gym if the West Hillhurst guys forget to do it. The kitchen controls we used to use are disconnected and the heat is controlled from the thermostats only.
5. Christmas Coffee House
Friday Dec 17 - 7:30 pm it is a great time to relax and meet people so please consider coming out.
6. Christmas Eve/Dec 26
Setup 4 pm, no take down on Christmas Eve, no setup on Dec 26. Yaa!


I want to wish you all a good Christmas and thankyou for supporting NHC through the technical arts.
Keith
