Coupled with a set of AKG C5 handheld microphones for vocals, D40 mics for instruments and a number of D 112 and CK 99 L microphones inside the drum set, the wireless microphone system is being used by a wide variety of bands and DJs every night, and acts as the centrepiece to a complete Harman Professional sound system that includes JBL VerTec line arrays, Crown amplifiers, and a Soundcraft Si2 digital mixing console. more

Nickelodeon Suites Resort in Orlando, a Nick-themed family hotel located a mile from Walt Disney World, proudly promises guests “the slime of their lives.” But things are never sticky when Drew Dalzell uses Stage Research SFX to control a slate of live Studio Nick productions offered in the resort’s 200-seat theater.

“SFX is the brains of everything,” he reports. “The resort has been running SFX 5.6 for about five years, and we’ve just upgraded to 6.2.” Three to seven Studio Nick shows are presented each day, including “Slime Time Live!” an interactive game show; “Who Knows Best?” a generational challenge between kids and adults; the “Dora and Diego Animal Jam” game-snack-dance party; “Family Improv,” a late-night show where almost anything goes; and the new “SpongeBob’s Krabby Patty Celebration.” more
