Yesterday we unboxed and hooked up our pre-production S-MADI Bridge loaned to us by Roland Systems Group. It was a momentous occasion. I’ve been eagerly expecting this since I saw it at InfoComm several months ago. The S-MADI is an interface that bridges the gap between MADI and REAC, the proprietary protocol used by the [...]

Why M-48 over Aviom
I tend to be a little non-conventional. A few years ago when everyone wanted a Yamaha M7, I wanted an RSS M-400. Now it seems every church is going with an Avid Venue; I went with a DIGiCo. And while Avioms still seem to reign supreme in the personal mix space, I’m going with the [...]
The Coolest Thing I Saw at InfoComm
If my blog layout had subtitles, it would be, “And why Aviom A-16II is now irrelevant.” Longtime readers of this blog will know that I’ve been a fan of the RSS M-48 personal mixing system since it was announced over a year ago. It sounds fantastic, has a ton of flexibility in signal routing, includes [...]
More Stuff Seen on the Show Floor
On the third and final day of WFX, I spent almost the entire day on the show floor. We’re getting ready to upgrade a lot of equipment at Coast, so I needed to get some hands-on time with as much gear as I could. Here are a few things I saw that impressed me. Vari-Lite [...]
WFX, Here We Come!
This morning, my associate TD, Gary, and I (though I often refer to him as the Assistant to the Technical Director–just for fun) will be heading east to Charlotte, NC to attend WFX. I was able to go last year, and had a great time. It was fun being able to hang out with Colin [...]
Solder Fest 09 Continues
I love soldering. I love making cables. I’ve even written excessively about it on this site (here, here and here). There is just something satisfying and rewarding about making your own mic cable, or a sub snake, or a patch bay. Perhaps it’s the joy of knowing you just made future set ups a little [...]
What are you learning today?
That question has been rattling around my head the last few days. It came up when I was talking with my office mate and worship pastor, Jon. He was getting ready to apply to grad school. He said he felt the need to keep growing. Good need, I say. Last night, I thought about it [...]
The Drum Condo–Does it Work?
Well, now that the site is back up and moving at something close to normal speed, we’ll get back to the drum condo series. First, in answer to the above question, the short answer is yes! To some extent, that’s the best I’ve got, as I’ve not yet had time to get any actual readings [...]
Equipment List
Since I’ve received several comments on recent posts that start with, “Is that a [fill in the blank]?,” I thought I’d run down the list of equipment we put in our new worship space. Almost all of it is new, since we came from another church that had a pretty complete, though not very good, A/V [...]
First Round of Troubleshooting
You finally made it. After working 15 hour days for a week, the system is installed. The band arrives and soundcheck begins. You’re excited because you installed an Aviom system, and setting up monitors should be a breeze (mainly because you don’t have to do it!). You call for the kick drum, dial up the [...]
