Things that happened this week


Tuesday - Rush memorial service, our new layout really kicked in well. Don picked up 4 more sets of in-ear headphones for aviom. We have to find a home for these so they don't walk.


Amps: left array need diagnostic run tests on Tuesday and Wednesday indicated that it's a problem between the amps and the speakers.
Solution: shield the speaker cable better(possible cell phone tower interference)
Status: Don and Randy still looking into this


Aviom: bad channel needs a new snake
solution: find an easy way to fix this, we fixed it when we relocated Aviom in the new rack
Status: done


Mic's (wireless receivers): moved behind stage
Status: not gunna do it, Forrest colored coded the receivers so, there would be no point


Stage: Redu wedge connection in stage (so that the wedge can be connected into the front pocket instead of behind.
Status: decided that's its fine and leave well enough alone


DVD Playback: Denon unit in temporarily, waiting on replacement from Sony
Status: Keaton shipped back this week, we'll be getting a blu-ray as replacement, Keaton will test at home to make sure it works first.


Sound Rack: new shelf to be installed
Status: Don will take care of it by Sunday


Video Rack: Replace road case with permanent rack to match audio rack.
Status: Nathan install Friday afternoon


I'll be adding the chapel stuff to the list next week
