Follow on Google News | Sennheiser Helps Xavier College Preparatory Make the Grade in Presentation of "Fiddler on the Roof"In light of the 700 MHz spectrum reallocation mandated by the FCC, Xavier took advantage of Sennheiser's attractive rebate offers and upgraded its entire wireless audio infrastructure to Sennheiser's evolution wireless G3 series.
By: Hummingbird Media The school originally installed 24 channels of Sennheiser's ew 100 series wireless transmitters and receivers. More recently, and in light of the 700 MHz spectrum reallocation mandated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Xavier took advantage of Sennheiser's attractive rebate offers and upgraded its entire wireless audio infrastruc-ture to Sennheiser's evolution wireless G3 series. Ring in the New Since then, Xavier has installed 32 channels of Sennheiser's evolution wireless G3 systems, 12 of which were provided by Chris Henley of Phoenix-based Audio Video Resources. The installation was completed just in time for the school to present its rendi-tion of the classic musical "Fiddler on the Roof," which included a 16-piece professional orchestra. Impressively, Xavier students operated the entire production, including front of house, stage direction, acting and everything in between. In addition to a dozen channels of Sennheiser ew 300 G3 microphone units, Audio Video Resources also recommended that Xavier acquire 12 SKM 300-835 G3 handheld transmitters as well as three active splitter kits (G3 DIR KIT 8). The splitter kits enabled Xavier to combine and split its antenna system, which allowed the racks to be stored in a dedicated machine room above the theatre rather than the main production area. Transparent sound, ease of management Since installing the new G3 wireless system, Auditorium Manager Preston Doyle has recognized several benefits. One standout is Sennheiser's Wireless Systems Manager software, which comes bundled with the ew 300 G3 system: "At front of house, we have the Wireless Systems Manager set up on a 24-inch touch screen display set up right over the console. This allows us to continually monitor the performance and parameters of our entire wireless system," Doyle says. "It's almost like you are looking at a virtual rack, but better -- we can title the actors, musicians and production crew in a way that makes sense. This helps us focus and makes the production more efficient." As for the sound quality and RF reception, the Sennheiser G3 system has outperformed expectations: Not only does Xavier's equipment upgrade expose students to the latest in wireless audio technology, it also brings greater predictability in what can sometimes be a volatile production environment: End
