No other automation in the world can even hold a candle to the CA21. Plus, if you have a problem with it, the manufacturer assists until the problem is solved!  |  IP: Logged John T.

Big Sky has always supported all of thier equipment . I find that all equipment is designed to meet certain criteria, cost , ease of instal and service , , through all the posts I have read it seems there is a difference between the west , central and eastern parts of the country as to witch equipment is better. I guess its what you get used to working with and what the theatre will buy.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-21-2003 08:58 AM                     John said.....
