>> The challenge, the continuous challenge and the timeline associated with the challenge
and the fact that the events themselves are high profile and exciting and fast paced.
So, for example, Jimmy Fallon, Live from the Super Bowl, producers come to us in the morning
and they say okay, Shaquille O'Neal is not going to enter from stage left, he's going to enter
from across the street and we now need to put together a wireless solution that allows
that RF microphone, as well as the RF in ear monitors and IFB, to be able to attach to him
and work all the way across the street, as he walks through the lobby and up onto the stage.
Similar problems are, Tom Holmes calls me, we're doing the NHL Winter Classic
and he calls me 2 weeks before the event.
Tom Holmes is the music mixer for the Academy Awards, the Super Bowl, he's the audio designer
for the NHL and he says, Shaun, we have a problem, the speaker stacks are 86 inches high
and for sight lines, they need to be 48 inches high, but they're not going to be able
to cover the top of the stadium if they're so short, how do we do it?
And in 24 hours, we design a solution that is a telescoping A-frame that grabs the speakers
at their center of gravity and allows them to be set down.
So, a single operator with a DeWalt drill is able to run out, lift the speaker stack up,
set it down, have it clear the 48 inch sight line height, so the hockey game can happen.
And then when the rock show, that's happening in between, they run out, they set them up,
the show goes on, everybody's happy.
So, those types of challenges and timelines associated
with those challenges are extremely exhilarating.
