10.22.19 - Pandora @ The Bowery Hotel

On October 22nd Moore P.A. Hire provided audio and video equipment and services for a Pandora "Turn it up" presentation at the Bowery Hotel.

We engineered two AV packages - one for the formal presentations and panel discussion in the main event space and the second for the music performance by Allen Stone in the Fireplace room.

For presentation audio, we used our (1) Yamaha QL-1 to control 8 channels of wireless Shure UR4D with a combination of Shure UR-1 with either Countryman E6-D or DPA 4088 head-worn mics and also some UR2 handheld mics, depending on the presenters' preference. We streamed pre and post-event music (obviously from Pandora)

For the audio aspect of the Allen Stone performance we provided (4) L'Acoustics 112p with control by our Yamaha QL-5, and for the lighting aspect we used our MA on PC set-up to control (4) of our Chauvet Professional Rogue R2 moving head LED fixture combined with our ETC LUSTR Series 2 LED Fixtures which we used for both a stage wash and GoBo projection


For the video portion of our (1) Roland VR50 HD controlled the two Macbook Pro's we provided to serve the clients' PowerPoint to both our Stumpfl projection screen w/ delay 70" LCD screen & also presenter notes to a 70" Confidence monitor strategically positioned throughout the room so as to not obscure the clients branding and our uplighting of same. Once these were cabled up with SDI our final task for video was interfacing to the house's projector and projection screen. We ran our feed though a Decimator MD-HX just for safety and then plugged into the HDMI port on the east wall of the venue.

Finally for staging, we built two stages, again for when the room would be split. We laid our 8' x 4' & 6' x 4' sections to build two stages both skirted with duvatene. Our Cherry Wood Pedestal podium rounded out the staging portion of our package.
