Its November my Fav time of year with Thanksgiving and Fall, I Just returned from the Rental and Staging Roadshow in Chicago held at Production Plus and it was a very informative show, Tom Stimson gave a program called the Business Survival Guide that was very well done and great info. I visited with many of the Biggest names in Staging from Panasonic, Christie and Orion and others that had the coolest WIDESCREEN projection systems and Screens. We dont live in a 4:3 Aspect Ratio world anymore kiddies, its all WIDE SCREEN 16:9 and man does it look good. With DTV set to explode on the market the new HD Video will more and more prevelant in homes and Business/Churches.

Ive also bought a cool new toy called the DR -1 by Tascam and attended a recent seminar by Tascam/Audio-Technica which was very informative.
Both companies talked about LIVE and Recording uses for the products and The DR-1 is a great little recorder for anyone needing accurate CD Quality recordings. These would work for Churches, Bands, even personal recording studios for tracking etc....we are Tascam dealers and Audio/Technica dealers, weve addedPanasonic Projectors/LCD/PLASMA, Furman, JVC Pro, Australian Monitor, Mystery Electronics, Clark Wire and Cable, Cables to Go, and many other great products to our Line cards and were just growing !!!!

Check your Wireless mics CAREFULLY after the Feb DTV Deadline and be sure your not causing interference, Its Illegal and you can be fined or worse, So If you run Multi-Channel wireless with Auto Scanning featurfes such as the new MIPRO ACT or Peavey Pro Comm or AKG/ Audio Technica, youll be better prepared to swiftly switch channels away from interference and possible interference with someones DTV.....

This issue is a sore spot with many Wireless users and older systems are simply going to be harder to use and in some instances impossible to use, so please after the FEB Deadline turn these systems on and check for interference, the last thing you want is sisue during the Service or meeting, or worse have the FCC knocking on your door. The FCC has APPROVED the use of OTHER electronic devices in the Whitespaces and it was voted on NOV 4th and passed so this is no longer an issue of when, But Now.

If your not sure we will be glad to do Frequency Co-ordination scans and inspect your wireless systems.
