AY Productions, a company specializing in audio and intercom systems, has significantly improved its service to television networks by incorporating Pliant Technologies’ CrewCom Wireless Intercom System.
The system has been instrumental in managing communications for major sporting events, including the AFC Championships, the Super Bowl, and the NFL Combine.
Expansion of CrewCom Inventory
To meet the increasing demands of large-scale live productions, AY Productions has expanded its inventory of CrewCom equipment. The company now possesses 42 CrewCom CRP-44 Radio Packs (RPs), along with several CrewCom Radio Transceivers (RT), Control Units (CU), and SmartBoom headsets. This expansion ensures they can handle a wide range of production sizes and requirements.
Praise from Audio Engineers
Max Muehlen and Sean Weathersby, long-time users of Pliant Technologies, commend the CrewCom system for its efficiency and versatility. Muehlen highlights the ease of pre-programming the system, which streamlines setup and implementation on-site. Weathersby appreciates the system’s flexibility, noting that it has helped maintain high standards and meet growing client expectations.
Successful NFL Combine Deployment
One notable deployment of the CrewCom system was at the NFL Combine. The system facilitated smooth transitions between multiple shows being produced by the NFL Network. Muehlen pointed out the ease-of-use of the RPs, reducing the number of user inquiries about the equipment. Both engineers praised the audio quality and robust design of the CrewCom products, emphasizing their durability and exceptional battery life.
Future Prospects
Looking forward, Muehlen and Weathersby have high expectations for continued use of Pliant Technologies’ equipment. They believe that CrewCom will remain a reliable and highly requested solution for their clients. The Pliant headsets and radio packs have consistently been favored, and this trend is expected to continue.
AY Productions’ adoption and expansion of the CrewCom Wireless Intercom System from Pliant Technologies have solidified its position as a leading provider of communication solutions for live productions.
