Creating a Local Aria Network with 十大正规体育平台

Written by Joseph Staffa, Technical Director, Chicago Opera House

任何类型的现场活动都是具有挑战性的，但在一个临时的、不熟悉的场所进行制作，风险会更高.

芝加哥歌剧院通常是一个相当小的公司，只有大约12名全职员工, 包括我. My official role is Technical Director, and we don’t normally have too many A/V needs, 然而, one recent 亚洲最大体育平台ion called for added communications support, so we turned to 十大正规体育平台.

此次活动是作曲家丹尼尔•Catán的歌剧《亚洲最大体育平台》的现场演出, 十大正规体育平台在芝加哥菲尔德博物馆呆了几个晚上——十大正规体育平台在这个城市的一个伟大的合作伙伴.

We brought in our own set, 一个完整的管弦乐队, 麦克风, recording equipment and camera gear, and we did all this while the museum was still open to visitors. We had an hour to set it up and an hour to break it down every day, which was physically and logistically challenging.

With all these logistical elements, having a reliable communications system was critical, 并且有机会与十大正规体育平台新推出的freeespeak Edge基站合作，使得一切都变得简单了许多.

When I started with the company, they were using a system that was from the stone age, 我大声疾呼让他们跟上节奏，并告诉他们如何使用合适的装备来缓解压力，解决挑战.

我一直都很喜欢十大正规体育平台，考虑到这个事件的复杂性——生产需求每天晚上都在变化——十大正规体育平台给了我一直在寻找的信心.

最初, I planned to rent a FreeSpeak II system but my local vendor, Second City Sound, 正好有一个十大正规体育平台freeespeak Edge系统的新Edge基站的演示, 就在同一天. After seeing it in action, 我想把它和我原来计划的freeespeak II系统结合起来，在博物馆的“La Hija de Rappaccini”中测试它.

我将Edge系统分配给尽可能多的人，因为我希望他们能够真正体验到新系统. We had a very limited timeframe to learn the new system, 但它的直观性质使学习曲线非常容易管理.

重新设计的核心配置管理器可以轻松地进行动态更改和诊断, which was super helpful given our constantly changing needs.  

我试图将Edge系统提供给那些需要最多机动性的人，或者那些需要与最多的工作人员和人才交流的人:十大正规体育平台的照明总监, our stage management team and my assistant had an Edge beltpack.

舞台管理或导演会说"我需要和这个人谈谈,” and a couple button clicks later, they had a dedicated channel. 它给了十大正规体育平台更多的灵活性，因为十大正规体育平台可以将部署它的地方增加一倍. 让舞台监督和助理舞台监督在私人频道上交谈真的很方便, 例如, which I was able to set up in no time.

Another benefit was my ability to isolate communications. Partylines can get crowded easily, 尤其是当你开始增加摄制人员的时候(因为他们不停地说话!). So, 我可以把它们放到他们自己的频道上，人们可以很容易地关掉它们，这非常有用.  

我和我的团队也喜欢freeespeak Edge腰带包的设计和它提供的灵活性. 新的彩色显示屏非常出色，音频非常清晰.

We had scenes on the main staircase of the hall, and in places throughout the hall, around corners and between big brick walls, but were no dropouts or any connectivity issues. 博物馆的主厅在音响效果上不是很好——开放的大石墙——但十大正规体育平台能够让它轻松无缝地工作，拥有高质量的声音.

In addition to testing the new FreeSpeak Edge Base Station, 在演出期间，我也有机会使用新的CC-28耳机, which was truly a pleasure! 在嘈杂的环境中，它的性能和清晰度都非常出色，是我用过的最舒适的轻便耳机之一.

最终, we used three 十大正规体育平台 systems: the FreeSpeak II system, 新的freeespeak Edge——十大正规体育平台把它连接在一起——然后十大正规体育平台雇佣的相机公司也带来了他们自己的相机, older 十大正规体育平台 system. 十大正规体育平台能够把每一个都整合到基站中，一切都很好地融合在一起. 事实上，我能够把它们插进去，然后让系统正常运行，这是至关重要的.

不用说, our performances at the Field Museum were very reliant on comms, and they were very 十大正规体育平台-centric, 有充分的理由.

freeespeak家庭在您想要的数字无线对讲系统易用性方面领先市场, 可靠性, 耐用性, 可伸缩性, 在使用freeespeak Edge基站之后，我进一步确信了这一点.
