Califur VI Recap PDF Print E-mail

CF6 sageKROQThe image to the left is the Califur VI stage just before we finished setting it up.  In our gallery, you'll find several more images of the set-up.  As soon as we get actual event images we'll post them.  The event was exciting.  We were sharing the hotel with KROQ, and KROQ was using this as their host hotel for their annual KROQ Weenie Roast.  Stone Temple Pilots tried to crash our party, and supposedly Smashmouth, and other bands were in the hotel, even Devo.  The two unlikely to be compatible events seemed to not only get along well, there was a lot of "cross polilnation" between events.  Even the KROQ manager said she wanted to pre-register for Califur VII.  We were brought down to facilitate the stage for one specific performance, and Califur was able to benefit from it's use all weekend.   Hopefully next year Califur will have us back again in a similar capacity or even  an expanded capacity as well.

GUIFriday, and Saturday nights the dance allowed us to open up the floodgates of the  Crown and JBL PA quite a bit.  Perhaps this is why STP  wanted into the party.  We coarsely measured the room at well over 100db.  As someone pointed out with this URL's chart, it was getting up there!  It was still comfortable, clear, and un-distorted with plenty of headroom left.  We never actually were able to turn it up even close to redline, but the system has proven to have considerable "bandwidth".  We'll likely need a large outdoor venue to really push this safely.  Perhaps an outdoor concert or street fair is on order! 

 

To the right is a custom system control I was working on between performances.  I later added more controls , and indicators.  This was a great place to demo the total control of the Crown iTech DSP.  Literally any control light, meter, indicator, slider or knob that is controlled by software can be presented in a custom control surface.  This really lends itself well to the pictured laptop, because it's touch screen.

iTech amplifiers! PDF Print E-mail

iTech amp racks

Crown's iTech seris of amplifiers are amazing!  We use them for just about everything.  Pictured here are our two primary touring racks.  Gone are the days of outboard DSP's and signal processsing.  The iTech's powerful on-board DSP and iQuic software allow us to manage complete signal control at the amplifier, and do it remotely from a touch screen PC or tablet.  We can even work on it live while the system is running and save show configurations for recall later.   The software allows us to create custom control surfaces for the specific needs of any event , show, or installation.

matchgameSilicon 2009 is now behind us, and it was a smashing success!  Smashwolf Productions provided sound, lighting, and video services for the main programming areas as well as several break-out rooms.   Silicon is one of Silicon Valley's longest-running science fiction conventions.   At Silicon 2009, we produced a programming stage by night, and a dance floor by night, complete with moving effects lights, and a 24,000 watt digital audio system that rivals that of many premire San Francisco night clubs!  We could not have done it without the help of a very dedicated, and talented crew.  Here are some picture s of our crew in action!
