Their team consists of top audio and video designers, engineers, and integrators who are dedicated to providing clients with high-quality products from professional audio manufacturers and excellent support.
Choosing Pliant Technologies for Wireless Communications
When Sound Associates needed an intercom system that met their strict audio standards, they turned to Pliant Technologies. Known for their advanced wireless communications systems, Pliant’s CrewCom CB2 wireless intercom system proved to be an ideal solution. Subsequently, Sound Associates also incorporated the CrewCom 900MHz wireless intercom system into their operations.
Seamless Integration and Support
Christopher Cronin, Vice President of Technical Services for Sound Associates, praised the Pliant team for their assistance during the setup process. “After testing the CrewCom system on one show, we immediately purchased several CrewCom and CrewCom CB2 systems for various shows and tours,” said Cronin.
Successful Deployments on Broadway and Tours
With Pliant’s CrewCom systems, Sound Associates provided exceptional wireless communications with excellent RF coverage for several Broadway shows and musical tours, including “The Shark is Broken,” “In Dreams,” “Purlie Victorious,” “A Doll’s House,” “The Jagged Little Pill Tour,” and “The 1776 Tour.” Each installation typically included two CrewCom Control Units, three to four Radio Transceivers, and around 12 to 16 Radio Packs.
High Standards and Accessibility
Sound Associates found the Pliant systems met their high standards for coverage and audio quality. Cronin highlighted the system’s user-friendly nature, stating, “With Pliant, our team could seamlessly deploy and use the system effortlessly. Its ease of use has been incredibly helpful, and our clients quickly learned how to operate it.”
Reliability and Dependability
Cronin also commended the reliability of the CrewCom system, describing it as a robust and dependable solution. “We have been very happy with the system and the experience of working with Pliant Technologies, both in terms of service and support,” he added.
