Signal To Noise Podcast 286. Larger-Scale Intercom Platforms
In Episode 286, Sean and Andy continue their look at stepping up from smaller shows with a dive into larger intercom platforms and a look at life past four-channel analog systems. This episode is sponsored by Allen & Heath and RCF.
Drawing from his work programming intercom systems for large scale corporate and broadcast events, including network upfronts, professional wrestling matches, and the recent SNL50 Homecoming Concert at Radio City Music Hall, Andy shares a brand-agnostic look at some tips and tricks for making the most of the options digital intercom systems offer — how a nearly infinite pool of private channels is helpful (and when it’s not!), making sure that as a comms programmer, the first goal is to make everybody else’s show run smoother, and why the most important tool a programmer can have on a show site is almost certainly not what you’d guess!
