themixLogan Productions:100% Sony Wireless for Corporate ProductionsLogan Productions, Inc., a business theater and video productioncompany, recently switched completely to Sony UHF wirelessproducts.“We evaluated a number of systems from various manufacturersand consistently found that the Sony system outperformed theothers” says Jim Logan. “We’re in tough conditions when we’reshooting, around a lot of heavy machinery and electronic interference,the difference between systems was very noticeable; the Sonysystems consistently delivered a better signal with broaderdynamic range.”“Whether it’s a business theater event or field production wenever know what conditions we’re going to run into. We’d occasionallypick up interference on our old UHF system, the frequencyagility of the Sony system solved that. You can set up a show anywhere,even in crowded convention halls with hundreds ofexhibitors, with no fear of interference.”Logan purchased 12 WRT-805B Transmitters equipped withECM-77 lavalier microphones, 12 WRU-806B Tuners along with 2 -MB-806A Tuner Base Units and a pair of AN-820A Antennas forextended range, two WRT-808A Plug on transmitters, and a WRR-862B Dual Diversity tuner for field production.“The system is incredibly flexible,” says Logan. “Sometimeswe’ll plug the 808’s on the output of our mixer to feed the 862 mountedon our CineAlta camera. It minimizes the amount of cable wehave to run and makes camera movement simple. We’ll do the samething with a shotgun and give the boom operator flexibility to moveeasily with the camera. The 808’s work with any microphone.”Logan recently completed a live business theater event anduplink for SC Johnson. “We were using 12 wireless mics feedingboth the sound reinforcement console in the house and the productionconsole for uplink in the remote truck. We never had adropout, hum, click or buzz - wireless is something we don’t eventhink about anymore, the quality is consistent.“We produced a show for John Deere that had a four week runin Florida. It was great to be able to monitor the transmitters batteryconditions and signal strength right from the console. It’s simple –the battery indicator on the receiver starts to flash when there’sabout an hour of operating time left. That means we prevent problemsbefore they happen.”Logan recently started an equipment rental division, OscarRents. “We’ve included the Sony wireless mics in our rental inventorybecause we know they will be almost maintenance free.Customer response has been very positive.”Logan Productions also put together a portable presentationcontinued on page 10www.sony.com/proaudio • SPRING <strong>2002</strong> • SONY SOUNDBYTE3
