JESSUP, MARYLAND: API’s groundbreaking and industry-leading lunchbox® frame for 500-Series modules just got better. The re-engineered lunchbox boasts many improvements, including an increased power supply current of 215mA per slot, the addition of DB-25 connectors for easy input and output connection and XLR access to channels 7 and 8 of the multi-pins. The revamped lunchbox also provides individual power rail LED indication and re-settable fuses on the power rail of each slot, so that one faulty module will not affect the others. The addition of a 100 VAC input voltage tap allows for wider international versatility.

Despite the numerous changes, the lunchbox’s basic design remains true to its roots. It still has six slots for standard API 500-Series modules, an internal phantom power supply and rugged steel chassis. For now, the new lunchbox remains priced at $499.

Bell’s Brewery in Kalamazoo, Michigan began in 1985 with a quest for better beer and a 15-gallon soup kettle. Since then, they’ve grown into a regional brewery featuring handcrafted brews, interesting food and live music weekly in its Eccentric Café. Last year, Brewery owners embarked on a significant expansion to create a dedicated music venue in what used to be a warehouse—and were adamant about outfitting it with the best sound system possible. They brought in audio consultant Jacob Wargo, whose extensive resume included gigs with Eighth Day Sound for clients like Widespread Panic and the seminal Bonnaroo Music Festival, who designed an audio system based around a world-class d&b audiotechnik PA and a pair of DiGiCo consoles—an SD8-36 at FOH and an SD8-24 for monitors—to handle both FOH and monitor-world duties for the new 400-seat venue.

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA – MARCH 2011: The capabilities of digital audio have brought about a paradigm shift in motion picture location sound recording over the past decade, away from traditional analog hardware to more versatile software-based solutions. As production mixer Paul Ledford, C.A.S. recently discovered, a digital audio solution such as Metric Halo’s ULN-8 interface can also handle the increasingly more complex demands of a modern-day film shoot, and may well herald the next step in the evolution of location sound.

Ledford finished work on Jonathan Liebesman’s Battle: Los Angeles, a Sony Pictures movie about a group of U.S. Marines confronting and combating an alien invasion, which placed some unusual demands on the mixer’s location sound cart setup. The multi-camera shoot involved many busy action scenes with a lot going on at once, he says, and with very little rehearsal. “And the director wanted everybody miked – which is more
