Live Events in Challenging Locations: A Factory Floor

Oncore AV has been fortunate enough to work with some incredible local businesses on their audio visual installations and live events.  A recent customer, Paragon D&E, is a certified small business that provides full-service tooling and machining with design and build capabilities.

Paragon designs and manufactures prototype to production tooling in aluminum, steel, Invar and composites for simple to complex aerospace parts. With 50+ ton crane capacity and machines from 1 ft. to 52 ft. in length, Paragon is equipped to handle any sized project.

For a recent event which was held directly on the Paragon factory floor for Autodesk Powermill, Oncore AV faced the unique challenge of  providing audio and video services that could compete with the noise of machinery and visitors. We decided to bring along elements of the JBL VTX line array system for the solution.  With this particular venue, this speaker system was necessary to cut through the noise of the crowd with high gain before feedback to ensure the multimedia presentations could be heard clearly.

Mic Check!! No, Seriously!

In the last few years, you may have purchased wireless equipment which broadcasts/receives 600 Mhz-800 Mhz signals. Unfortunately, those radio frequencies are now corporately owned and will become illegal for public use on October 31st, 2018. And by illegal I mean it will bring a $10,000 fine from the FCC. In addition to that, your service can be over taken. Only the new owner of these frequencies can broadcast on them, that means your church service is set to be interrupted by a higher power (not an angelic one).

Unfortunately, there’s no way around it.  You will have to replace your system or pay the fine. Don’t worry, Oncore AV can help.  We can help to coordinate the rebate that will give you back up to $500 per channel from Shure. But you need to act fast as these rebates are only offered through an extended deadline of October 31st, 2018!

We Can Help!

We will walk you through the process regardless of the manufacturer of your current equipment and can help you get the trade-in rebate of up to $500/channel on comparable new Shure equipment. We can also consult on what options you have for upgraded equipment with this new found money!
