Just Add Power, a leader in AV-over-IP distribution, is inviting installers inside their virtual trade show booth to learn all about the company’s latest AV-over-IP solutions, originally introduced at InfoComm 2021. The custom web-based 3D booth experience allows installers to get a closer look at Just Add Power’s new MaxColor™ 4K60 transmitter and receiver series and 3G Ultra Warp Engine transmitter/receiver.

“In 2017, we offered our first 3D booth tour following CEDIA as a way for installers to revisit our booth, get all the information, and see demonstrations that were available during the show,” said Taft Stricklin, sales team manager at Just Add Power. “With limited travel and the rescheduling of ISE 2022, we’re continuing this offering so that, no matter what, installers can get the information they need to keep moving their businesses and projects forward. We’ve included videos and application information for all our new products, and our technicians are always just a phone call away if you have further questions.”

How to Choose The Right Wireless Microphone

In Audio, Audio Industry News, Continuing Education, home_page, Image, Industry News, Web Articlesby Media

Houses of Worship aim to create an immersive experience for their congregation. Services are about sharing the message and empowering others to lift their voices in praise and song. From the vocalists to small instrument groups and clergy, all need to be heard clearly and precisely throughout the sanctuary.

For many small-to-medium-sized Houses of Worship, they may not be able to employ a dedicated audio technology team lead to help set up microphones and ensure there is no disconnect between what you hear and what you see. This means that the tools you do purchase and learn need to be adaptable and easy to set up. When purchasing mics and wireless systems to power them, there are several things to consider when making the right investment for your sanctuary space.

Technology’s Potential to Transform Worship For All

In Audio, Audio Industry News, home_page, Image, Industry News, Web Articlesby Media

I’ve been booed off stage. Wait – it gets worse. I’ve been booed off stage, in a church, on a Sunday. I remember sitting on the stage after that opening night of our Christmas production years ago knowing we had a 14-night run of this theatrical catastrophe ahead of us. Meanwhile, a pastor waited to have a “word” with us in his office. I still shudder at the memory more than two decades later.

Leaving behind the boos, there were also cheers. I’ve witnessed thousands of congregants transported during a worship service where everything – the music, the message, the visuals, all of it – simply worked.
So it’s undoubtedly worth taking the time to understand the role that technology can play in determining whether our efforts are rewarded with boos or cheers.

Nicky Romero Rings In The New Year Illuminated By ADJ Lighting For A Second Time

‘Nicky Romero and Friends Presents NewYear Show 2022’ was streamed exclusively on Nicky’s website from 10pm until 1am, local time. It featured warm up DJ Marc Benjamin, a guest performance from Wildstylez, and an hour-long set from Nicky himself to welcome in the New Year. Filmed outdoors in front of the iconic Kreelpoort (town gate) in Nicky’s hometown of Veenendaal in The Netherlands, the livestream was organized by his management company, Artist Division. Ronald de Man, through his company RDM Productions, was responsible for managing the project and brought in local rental company N.T. Sound to supply all the lighting and audio equipment, including over 100 ADJ fixtures. The company’s owner and manager, Jonathan Jansen, designed the lighting rig, while programming and operating duties were handled by Koen van Elderen, one of the most prolific Lighting Designers and Programmers in the Dutch EDM scene.

“The brief from the customer was to create something nice with LED strips and moving heads that would fill the street in front of monument and they liked the idea of curved lines,” explains Jonathan. “So, I came up with a design based on four arcs of fixtures in front of the DJ position and another arc, curving in the opposite direction, behind. This put Nicky and the other DJs right in the middle of the rig. Then we also lit the Kreelpoort itself and put moving heads behind and also within the structure, so that it could be filled with beams and GOBO projections. Koen did a really great job of using the rig to its full potential, he created a really interesting show that made good use of all the different fixture types and locations. He is a very talented programmer and operator; he is very creative and everything he does looks nice, so kudos to him on a great job!”

Music City, Here We Come! Cavlo Selects Nashville to Host Next Show

Cavlo trade show selects Music City for its third edition of its regional event. cavlo has evolved to bring together converging needs for the AVL industry: manufacturers of professional audio, video and lighting equipment looking for a cost-effective way to engage with the professionals who specify, install, and use their products and those same individuals looking to connect with those manufacturers without the expense and lost productivity of a cross-country trip.

“Nashville was a natural choice for our next regional show. It’s an entertainment mecca and major metropolitan area with more than 52 million people living within a 5-hour radius. Residents are primarily in the fields of education, healthcare, hospitality and retail with major office headquarters in proximity,” says Managing Director, Mike Brown-Cestero. “I’m proud that cavlo has proven to be a must-attend and exhibit show. Exhibitors also benefit from it being a regional show as they won’t get lost in the back of a large hall. We’ve also managed to be very cost-effective for manufacturers with all-inclusive booth pricing packages. And what our manufacturers like most is the ROI. No need to waste time scanning badges. They can be relaxed and spend quality time with attendees. cavlo is the show for AVL pros to ideate, integrate, and operate with a mix of specifiers, integrators, production folks and end users attending. Our successful shows in Vegas and Dallas proved to be a great combination of education, networking, and trade show exhibits.”
