Post Sound Update

Action Audio and Visual is not only a leading rental service for audio and video equipment, but also a one-stop shop for your project with a full service production studio. We recently set up our new Avid C24 and its 24-channel control surface guarantees maximized control of Pro Tools and Pro Tools HD mixing, recording, and editing.

James Barth , our post specialist, has recently begun working on his second season of a PBS series titled “Inspiration with Lance Heft”. This 30-minute series features in-depth interviews with leading business moguls, artists, and entertainers with a focus on the inspirations of these successful men and women.  One interesting aspect of this collaboration is that James has never met the producer; everything has been done remotely thanks to today’s technology.

Super Bowl Weekend

Not only was this weekend a smashing success for the Giants, it was for Action as well.  We rented out all of our plasma and LCD tv screens, as well as some projectors for the Super Bowl Game. Once we ran out of our biggest screens, 65″ plasmas, our customers started working their way down until we had no tv screens left. It was amazing. We definitely scored points all over Hollywood this weekend.

Recent Projects

On November 22, 2011, the Boys and Girls Club in Burbank had a special guest speaker, Oscar De La Hoya. We set up the audio for the legendary boxer  and he delivered an inspirational speech to the children.  The appearance was sponsored by AT&T, which involved them donating $5,000 to the Boys and Girls club. It was an honor to meet and speak with Oscar afterward.

On December 19th, 2011 we were commissioned to check that a building was sound proofed enough to sustain the impact of the new subway the city built.   We blasted the building with 100 decibels of loud sounds and music. We brought 6 of our Dynacord Cobra-2 speakers comprising 6000 watts of power and had them lifted onto a crane to blast sound to 100db. Turns out, the building was indeed sound proof.

Toward the end of 2011 we ran the sound for a Hungarian performance using our mikes, mixers, speakers and effects.  The show was fun to watch, running for two hours each night in Hollywood.
