The cavlo Tech Show is Ramping up Partnerships to Increase Networking Connections

They say good things come in ‘two’s”, and that’s what the cavlo trade show is announcing. At the beginning of February, cavlo announced a major sponsorship with premier manufacturers rep, Vision2 Marketing. Today they’ve added Technologies for Worship magazine as a Media Partner to amplify the networking and connections for show attendees and exhibitors.

“The House of Worship vertical is a perfect pairing for cavlo and its’ AVL exhibitors. Technologies for Worship is a powerful resource for our exhibitors to utilize to showcase new products, but it’s also an ideal partnership as our attendees’ hail from the audio-visual-lighting (AVL) and House of Worship communities in the Nashville and surrounding areas. Partnerships like this increase connections and networking among attendees with common interests, which is a win-win,” says Mike Brown-Cestero, Managing Director.

cavlo is the show for AVL pros to ideate, integrate, and operate with a mix of specifiers, integrators, production folks and end users in attendance. Successful shows in Vegas and Dallas proved to be a great combination of education, networking, and trade show exhibits. cavlo will take place on May 11th at The Embassy Suites Nashville South Cool Springs Hotel in Franklin, Tennessee. An Opening Reception will be held the evening of the 10th and will be followed by a one-day trade show that will feature exhibit booths and panel discussions; it will be a great opportunity for AVL folks in the Southeastern US to convene. Registration for the show will open on March 14th for interested attendees. cavlo is a trade-only event.

Why Pastors Should Have Personal Microphones

In Audio, Continuing Education, home_page, Web Articlesby Media

Sharing is usually seen as a virtuous act, but this isn’t the case when it comes to a pastor’s microphone. It may not seem like a problem that a dozen people share one microphone at your church. You probably use the house mic at conferences and when you’re on the road without thinking twice about it. But you may be putting your health and the health of others at risk by sharing a mic.

Sharing Mics Can Spread Disease
During cold and flu season you probably take precautions to stay healthy and to make sure you don’t sicken others if you come down with a cold. You use hand sanitizer, sneeze into your elbow, and keep shared surfaces clean. So why do you keep sharing microphones?

Microphones get contaminated with cold and flu germs in a number of ways. First, keep in mind how close the mic is to your mouth. As you speak or sing you are getting your saliva all over the mic. Sometimes you might even cough or sneeze on it. If it’s a handheld microphone, you also have the opportunity to slather the barrel of the mic with germs from your hands. Pop and wind filters are especially good at harboring germs because they can remain moist for a long time. Many mics also have integrated windscreens that can’t be easily changed or cleaned.

Martin Audio Announces Two High-Performance Cardioid Subwoofers

Flyable SXCF118 and SXC115 purpose designed to partner WPS and WPM line arrays

Martin Audio has announced the release of two new compact, high performance cardioid subwoofers, the SXCF118 and the SXC115, suitable for both live sound reinforcement and fixed installations.

The SXCF118 is a flyable version of the SXC118 released last year and has been purpose designed to accompany the WPS optimized line array system, while the ground stack SXC115 is set to partner WPM.

The SXCF118 combines maximum low frequency output with exceptional pattern control. It features an 18” (460mm) forward facing driver and a 14” (356mm) rear facing driver, each driven independently by separate amplifier channels and DSP. Each driver has its own chamber with optimized bass reflex porting.

This arrangement produces a cardioid dispersion pattern which maximizes the front radiation, while reducing unwanted radiation behind the subwoofer. The recommended iK42 amplifier optimizes the DSP parameters for front and rear drivers to maximize the rear rejection—from 21dB at 43Hz to 28dB at 75Hz. This keeps low frequencies away from stages and walls as well as reducing reverberant energy in the room—greatly improving low frequency response accuracy and impact.
