New things.

Here we are at the first post, where not much significant will be said other than the recounts of another day in the life of a REC TEC LIVE employee. (www.recteclive.com). In an effort to create a more prominant online presence, these blogs will tell about what we do, where we do it, and hopefully, spark innovation and creativity in our industry. What is our industry you ask? Live production, I say, expanding our horizons into the world of media every day. And we're out to do it better than anyone else. Based in Winter Park, Florida, most of our jobs are close in proximity, but today, I'm writing from Valdosta, Georgia, where we've begun an A/V install in the soon to be opened "Buffington's" vintage clothing store that moonlights as a coffee shop with a musician platform that will keep you coming for more. Since live music is a large part of the store, we'll be mounting 2 Yamaha CM12V speakers for mains, and one for a monitor, with a fourth serving as a non-fixed monitor. Other additions include wall mounted LCDs for digital signage cleanly floating on the wall with no sign of power or video cables going to or from the screens. A little retrofitting included drilling into the wall a good bit and fishing the wires through the wall with fish stix, hiding the RG6 line in the wall, then under the baseboard, and tapping into existing powerlines in the wall. I'll try and post some pictures tomorrow, after the jobs done. Tomorrow should include lighting work, but audio is a priority as my time here is limited. Thats all for now, I'll update soon about the completion of this job as well as tips and techniques used here, and maybe an update from some other REC TEC employees and what they've been up to while I'm away.
