ANAHEIM, CA – Renkus-Heinz was not only at NAMM this year, they were, in the company's words, "all over the place." A full IC Live system returned from its debut last year to greet attendees at the lobby's center stage, hosting a full program of performances including the surprise rendition of the Star Spangled Banner by Ted Nugent.
This year a second IC Live system held forth at the nearby Anaheim Garden Walk, keeping NAMM guests entertained during lunch and dinner breaks as well. As with last year's show, a wide range of musical guests from acoustic and world music to rock helped to showcase IC Live.
"Based on the reception the IC Live received at last year's NAMM show, it was really a no-brainer to do it again this year," said Renkus-Heinz marketing manager Margie Ulm. "NAMM is the perfect venue for showcasing the power of IC Live. These are people who love all kinds of music, and who truly appreciate a great sounding system."
Elsewhere at the show, live sound guru Doug Fowler conducted a free Live Sound Measurement seminar on Advancing with SysTune, letting engineers and end users in on noise rejection algorithms and real-time multi-channel measurements to achieve fast and accurate results in tuning their systems.
Renkus-Heinz senior VP of Engineering Ralph Heinz also joined with JBL's David Scheirman in a panel discussion on the Hows and Whys of Line Arrays, dispelling popular myths and misconceptions and covering easy-to-use techniques for getting the most out of line array technology.
Renkus-Heinz's annual International Sales Conference was well-attended again this year, with the award for US Rep of the Year presented to Maryland-based Taub Sales.
For NAMM's annual Coffin Case party and Fashion Show, FOH engineer Toby Francis (Guns N' Roses) mixed a lineup of bands including The Iron Maidens, Thundherstruck and Riot Brides, rocking out on a Renkus-Heinz line array system of ten VerSys VLX3 boxes and eight DR-18-2 dual-18-inch subwoofers. Onstage monitoring was courtesy of Sygma SG121-52R powered monitors. Renkus-Heinz engineer Jonas Domkus tuned the system using SysTune technology.
