Ed Sullivan…A View From The Control Room
On the left is director John Wray and I’m not sure who the others are at this console. From the stage, this would be in to back left corner behind the audience and I think the booth was entered from a door that would be to the left of John Wray. This is a rehearsal with ventriloquist Rickie Layne but it’s interesting that only a couple of monitors have camera feeds. Perhaps other monitors out of range on the right are showing more. I think in the radio days, the audio booth was isolated but is now accessible from the control room.
It really looks like a temporary setup. Not what you would expect for a major network production.
Holy sh………………t !
The control room is now downstairs beneath the rear of the mezzanine, as are the production audio console and the video engineer/lighting areas. There is a much larger audio submix console beneath the stage for the musical acts, and a house band submix and PA console in the balcony.
Do you know, is this still the location for the control room.
