It was all about plugs and sockets this week. At the recent Farnham show, we had experienced an occasional interruption to the track feed and the controller DIN plug/socket on the main control panel was deemed to be the culprit. Geoff proposed replacing the DIN units for 4 pin XLR units, which had been used for the power supplies. These were ordered and had arrived in the week and so changing them all over took place.

The old DIN plug on one of the 5 controllers.

There were 2 sockets for the panels and 5 plugs, 1 for each controller. It took the whole session, but they will be well worth the time and money.
