After a fairly radical redesign of the initial prototype a second design for the Tweaker has been developed based upon feedback from the UK theatre sound community; primarily members of the Association Of Sound Designers. The new design dispenses with the individual pivoting 5mW laser dots, which were difficult to see in a large auditorium, and adopts a centrally positioned 200mW laser module and crosshair lens which is then shuttered to the desired dispersion increments denoted with notches and embedded detail on the casing. From the feedback the momentary switch has been replaced with a latching switch and the casing is SLS 3D printed from PA12 Nylon for a higher quality finish and greater durability. A metal D-loop is included for affixing a tool lanyard and/or for stowing the device upon a belt carabiner.

Caught up with the folks at the Linbury Theatre in the Royal Opera House earlier in the week who have a few Star Spangled Panners. They currently have them on their Stalls and Stage Foldback EM Acoustic EMS-81Xs and report back that they are very useful for obtaining a repeatable focus.
