Going over and above
Posted by Ian Everett on Thursday Jan 25, 2018 Under UncategorizedSometimes a request is made onsite and the crew go over and above delivering a solution to please.
David from one of our suppliers responded to a request for an adaption of a radio headset to modify it from a two piece ear headset unit to a one piece headset by cutting and swapping plug ends with a hard wired comms system because the wireless system only came with 2 ear headsets, deft handiwork with the soldering iron and a modification from 5 wire to a 3 wire system meant the Producer was able to listen to the show comms and the live reaction of the audience wirelessly during the event.
I can not remember the last time we needed to get the soldering iron out on an event but we had one in the extensive tool kit we carry with us.
We also used some different narrower yellow jacket product to cover a necessary 32 amp 3 phase power cable supply on this wide screen event in Portugal.
