How the Hybrid Concert Experience Happens
“My team was really spread out, with myself and five others in key positions. Given our distances, just screaming and trying to hear the radio wasn’t going to play. We realized right away that we needed to have comms, and so we reached out to TC Furlong in Chicago. The role of intercom during the pandemic certainly allows you that level of distancing you need to maintain. Adding a Clear-Com system just totally took the frustration level out and allowed us to focus in on the job in hand,” he said.
To ensure smooth communication between production team members as well as to maintain appropriate social distancing requirements, the tour employed Clear-Com’s Encore Analog Partyline intercom system.
“Front-of-House, lighting, video, and stage right were located as far from each other as the venue would allow, with the broadcast engineer in a separate room off the main venue. The Encore system provided full-duplex, hands-free communication with optimal audio quality for users separated by greater-than-normal physical distances and challenged by the blaring nature of being at a live show. All production team members were also equipped with RS-501 belt packs and CC-95 single-muff headsets to ensure they did not miss a beat,” said Froula.
