[SML] Glazing of Control Booths

[Anna Labykina]

When the Boston Conservatory renovated its theater in 2009, the booths were split into double-glazed SM/LX and separate Sound with a lockable garage-type roll window.  Good security, but also fairly good position for a live mix.  However, practice proved that most people would like to mix from the house, so the board is frequently moved to a rear-of-the-house position made up from a portion of the ADA seating area…

It seems counter intuitive to me that such a space with $$$ worth of gear would not have glazing to serve as a deterrent to unauthorized access at the very least not to mention having to listen to board op/sm communications regardless of how quietly spoken into an intercom system.
