DHS Bands of America Send off Concert

This evening Dan was on-location at Dobson High School recording a Send off Concert for the upcoming Bands of America and Orchestras of America trip.

This was the perfect opportunity for us to audition some of the newest additions to our equipment lineup.

This was the first chance for us to use our new AEA microphone stand. We have been using a Shure S15 telescoping stand that was aluminum and able to elevate 15 feet. Our new stand, is steel, has an articulating leg and is able to reach 30 feet in the air!!! This stand was more the stable enough to elevate our DECA tree to the perfect height in the Dobson Auditorium…….even from the floor of the orchestra pit.

For this recording we took the 4 channels from our Deca tree, to our Millennia Media HV3D mic pre amplifier, and then to our new Apogee AD16x analog to digital converter. From there we went to our laptop workstation and finally to Nuendo.

The ensembles performed masterfully. Every year they simply just keep getting better. Those attending the Bands of America and Orchestras of America festival are in for a wonderful treat.
