Which component is part of a line-set and is used to attach scenery?

• A. A Dimmer module
• B. Counterweights
• C. Batten
• D. Sound mixer

Answer: (C)

In theater rigging, a line-set uses a horizontal bar called a batten to carry scenery. The scenery is attached to the batten, and when the line-set is raised or lowered, the batten with the attached scenery moves with it. That makes the batten the element of the line-set that directly holds and supports the scenery.

A dimmer module is part of the lighting system and handles electrical power for lights, not the lifting of scenery. Counterweights are used to balance the load in the line-set and facilitate movement, but they do not provide a point to attach the scenery itself. A sound mixer handles audio, which is unrelated to rigging scenery.
