[SML] Glazing of Control Booths

[Chip Wood]

OK, time to again trot out my favorite "wild ass" idea for sound position.

Place a full sized, nicely dressed, mannikin seated in the best sound 
seat in the house.  Place very good binaural ear mics in him/her. Feed 
their output to a set of very good earphones on the sound op enclosed 
behind glass.

Recover  $$$$ seats, cut lash-up and moving time and trouble, secure, 
discreet, don't have tech talk spill from the booth, never have a patron 
ask the sound op to turn up the A/C or where's the bathroom.

What's not to like??
