Since the K10.2 debuted, we have been fans of this powered speaker from day one. Originally thought of as a utilitarian speaker for premium sound indoors, we had started to utilize this speaker and a variety of other applications. 

​The biggest plus in outdoor live sound applications is the ability to delay your signal path right at the speaker level. Granted some engineers would prefer to have delay and timing control at the mix position, but for most Civic and medium-sized public events (between 10,000 to 15,000 people) the quick and dirty approach is perfect. 

​With that being said, if you are seriously considering the K10.2 as your next purchase (assuming you already have the capability to properly control the tone and dynamics of your sound, mix wise)... You are going to be extremely happy with the versatility of your purchase. 

In 2020, Focus Groups are still going strong. When a company or a private individual is paying good money for research data, it’s important that researchers are able to analyze that data in real-time or have pristine records to refer to.

Many times, this responsibility falls on the audiovisual vendor.

As audiovisual experts with over 30+ years in the business, we’ve been working with Focus Group Researchers to provide custom solutions for their polling needs.
​
From a simple two-camera CCTV, recorded and delivered same-day; to remote streaming to multiple locations globally, with viewing rooms, two-way communication and playback for groups. Whatever your project calls for, we’re looking to build relationships and custom solutions for our clients.

The challenge for us was that the venue was a boutique hotel with poor Wi-Fi and internet options – as well as limited connectivity for power in critical locations.

After evaluating the site for the focus group studies, we determined that a cellular bonder would be the best option for data and streaming. This would allow for us to provide our own internet service on-site, without worrying about the local venue’s connection speed and reliability.

​Lastly, to connect the cameras, we used a tuned wireless protocol over IP for our PTZ function as well as wireless SDI equipment to transmit signal to the viewing room. We provided boundary microphones and wireless lav (Lavaliere) microphones, which connected through the wireless camera stream, for perfectly clear audio.

​This allowed us to remain out of sight of the focus groups and be in direct communication with the research associates in the viewing room. The collaboration between 22nd Avenue Entertainment Logistics and the research team ensured that the research group’s clients received a precise product that was reliable and specific to their needs.

Serving the entire Western United States and portions of the East Coast, 22nd Avenue Entertainment Logistics is the right choice for professional results when it comes to your most challenging projects.
