05.21.25 - New York Athletic Club - Brooklyn Jesuit Prep

 Moore PA Hire provided audio, video, and lighting services for the Brooklyn Jesuit Preparatory Academy, a gala held in the 9th floor lounge of the New York Athletic Club.

We setup an L'Acoustics LA8 Rack to supply power to (8) X8 speakers setup up throughout the lounge and card room. On the podium we used a Shure MX418C gooseneck mic which covered the needs for most of the event, we also used a Shure ULXD2 wireless handheld mic for the auctioneer to move about the room freely. All the audio was controlled by a Yamaha DM-3 mixer.

To cover the event's video needs, we setup (2) 85" LCD Displays flanking the stage, and (2) 70" displays in the card room, content was fed to them via a Roland VR-120 and (2) Razer Laptops for content. 

For staging/lighting we set up (1) Aputure Spotlight, (4) Quasar T8 Tube lights behind the stage, and blue drape as a backdrop.

05.13.25 - NYAC - MFA

The Moore PA Team loaded a truckload of gear into the New York Athletic Club for the annual Managed Funds Association Legal & Compliance conference. We pulled out all the stops for this one as the main Lounge features (3) LED walls, full camera setup, and speaker systems setup up on the 9th, 10th, and 11th floors.

Part of the conference included breakout session with only audio, we needed (5) separate rooms covered so for mix control we used a combination of (1) Yamaha QL-1, (2) Yamaha DM-3s, and (2) Mackie Dl-16s, these all took input from (4) 15" Cardioid Gooseneck Mics (per room) and sent it to L'Acoustic 112s, and CP-8 loudspeakers. For the 11th floor dining room we used (1) Yamaha DM-3 and an all L'Acoustics bundle; (1) LA4 rack, an all encompassing unit to provide amp channels and wireless capabilities that can work for just about every event we do, and (4) L'Acoustics X8 speakers. Lastly for the main lounge on the 9th floor the team setup the Yamaha QL-5 mixer and patched it into another LA-4 rack, thus powering (8) X8 speakers in the lounge and adjacent card room. For signal input we setup (1) Shure ULXD4Q-G50 for extra channels of wireless, (1) Shure MX418C 18" Cardioid Gooseneck mic for podium speakers, and (8) Shure ULXD1 Beltpacks with WL185 Lav mics.

For video needs on the 9th floor, our LSE-1 production rack, based around vMix Pro was used for multi-cam production. We provided (3) Sony FR7 PTZ Cameras to capture the event and the line cut from our video director was captured externally using the ATOMOS Sumo monitor. Content was fed to the screens using a Roland VR-120, providing background decals and imag for the presenters. We used (2) 70" LED displays in the card room, (2) VMX LED walls flanking the stage and (1) High Refresh Rate Gloshine LED wall set behind the stage. On the 11th floor the setup was more basic as we just provided imag of the speakers to the back of the room via an FX-6 camera and another VR-120 feeding (2) 70" LED displays. 

To set the stage we used drape hung from our Genie ST-20 towers as well as on pipe/base. We lit the stage using (2) Source 4 Minis for hair light, (2) ETC Lustrs for a basic wash, and (1) Aputure Spotlight to give us the optimal lighting for the recording.

05.04.25 - Yale Ballroom - Higher Heights

 The Moore PA team loaded into the Yale Club Ballroom for a Sunday brunch presented by Higher Heights; for their event we provided services for audio, video, and a stream/recording. We setup to present a fireside chat with podium introductions.

Covering our bases with audio we patched into our in-house audio system, an all L'Acoustics bundle of (4) X8 speakers and a LA-8 amplifier. To capture the conversation we used (2) Shure ULXD1 Belt-pack w/ WL185 Lavalier mics and a Shure MX418C gooseneck mic for the podium. This was all controlled with a Yamaha DM-3 mixer, which also feeds the audio for the recording. 

For video we setup our VMX LED Wall, using a Genie ST 20 crank up stand, and four meters of truss. We provided content to our LED wall from (1) Roland VR120, with Dell Latitude laptops running vMix Pro. (1) Novastar VX1000 LED Display Controller was used to feed the LED wall. Lastly we set up a 43" confidence monitor onstage, allowing presenters to see speaker notes, and a limit timer to keep the event on schedule. 

To ensure the highest level of recording possible, we wheeled in out LSE-1 rack, an all in one unit that allows us to record multiple camera feeds and switch between them, thus creating a seamless line cut video as the event happens. To capture the brunch we set up (3) Birddog P4K cameras and took an audio line from the DM-3, giving us a dynamic and clear recording of the conversation.
