Our last stop on the Northwest CCI Solutions FREE Church Sound Training Seminar tour was in Portland at New Hope Community Church.  This active and growing church is located just across I-205 from Clackamas Town Center.  It was a fabulous Oregon Saturday with lots of sunshine and warm greetings from New Hope technical director David Boots and his great staff.

Our second Church Sound Training Seminar was held at Champions Centre, Bellevue, Washington.  Again, over 50 church sound techs came for a great day of classes, demos and personal interaction.  The two Harman Pro 50′ tractor-trailer rigs were tightly packed into the parking lot at Champions Centre, Bellevue and there was lots of sunshine, so church sound techs were out in force for the free demos.

Wireless Microphones obsoleted by FCC!

Yes, it’s true.  The FCC has now ruled that wireless microphone users can no longer use the 700Mhz frequency band effective June 12, 2010.  That also includes wireless In-Ear Monitor systems.  Wireless microphone manufacturers and dealers are now offering rebates to end-users who purchase replacement wireless microphones and In-ear Monitor systems before June 12, 2010.  Follow these links for more information:  Shure Rebate Program.  Sennheiser Rebate Program.

LED Theatrical Lighting

By Ron Simonson, President and CEO, CCI Solutions

LED Theatrical Lighting will forever change the way we light stages!  This amazing technology has been in development for years, but has finally reached the point where it is affordable and really works.  LED Theatrical Lighting can now be used for churches and larger theatrical stages since the brightness levels are now high enough that the fixtures can be mounted 40′ from the stage.
