UPDATE 7/10/2010: It was pointed out on Twitter that there were some channel polarity issues with the audio samples. Though I’m still trying to figure out exactly what happened (and I will test and figure it out on Monday), it does in fact seem that the polarity of the original audio samples posted here were [...]

Wireless IEM Shootout Pt. 2
Last time, we looked at the Audio Technical M2 and M3, as well as the Sennheiser G3 300 IEMs. This time around, we’ll tackle the Sennheiser 2000 series and the Shure PSM9. Sennheiser 2000 I’ll say right from the start that this Sennheiser didn’t seem to have it’s heart in the race. That or the [...]
REALLY! With Mike and Katie
Announcer: [in big, SNL-style voice] And now it’s time for REALLY! With Mike and Katie. Mike is Mike Sessler, a highly opinionated Tech Director; Katie is his not so technical teenage daughter. Together, they point out the ill-designed stuff that drives us all mad. And now, REALLY! Mike: Thank you, thank you… Katie: [giggles] Mike: [...]
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 [...]
Rechargeable Battery Update
It’s been a while since I’ve talked about rechargeable batteries. Mainly because there was no new news with the Ansmann brand we had been using, and I wanted to try out the new ones for a while before giving an update. Thankfully, the wait was worth it, and this is good news. When Upper Room [...]
It’s the Final Countdown
Cue up fire from my hands as I thrust them dramatically to the sky! (This is the first of a series of Arrested Development references this week–get used to it) While I couldn’t get Gob to join us today, I thought I would remind you, in case you’ve been locked in a tech booth somewhere [...]
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 [...]
Digital TV Transition Date in Transition?
Looks like our new government is hard at work already. A scant few days into the new administration’s reign and they’re already rocking the boat. The Senate passed a bill today that would delay the analog to digital TV transition for another 4 months. This is rather comical because the first deadline for the change was sometime [...]
Easing the Pain of the 700 MHz Relocation
In case you’re not currently aware, if you are using wireless microphones or IEMs that are operating in the 700 MHz range (698-806 MHz), you’re going to have to power them offer permanently sometime after Feb. 17, 2009. How soon is still up in the air, but they’re going to have to go away. For [...]
Update on FCC Ruling
It’s been a week since the FCC voted on the issue of White Spaces. The cynic in me believes that they chose Nov. 4 as their day to vote figuring the rest of the country would be earnestly following the other election, and they could escape any real critique. That may be, but the techies [...]
