British RF engineer Barry Macleod has had a long and distinguished career in rock ‘n’ roll, looking after wireless systems at major international events such as Live 8 and Live Earth, as well as a plethora of BRIT Awards and MTV Awards ceremonies. I recently spoke with him about his latest project, the touring version of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Jesus Christ Superstar (JCS), which will hit U.S. arenas in the coming months. Paul Watson: The JCS tour required 50 channels…

Like many production professionals, Gemini Light, Sound, Video (LSV) co-owner Tim Cain started out as a musician. “This all began with the band I was in the late 70s/early 80s. We had our own PA and rented some lights, but there really wasn’t a lighting company in Dallas, so one day my brother Terry said, ‘you know what, I’m going to buy some lights and rent them out.’ It was that simple. He started in 1981. In 1983 we brought…

One of the primary drivers in Rob Nevalainen’s career as a monitor engineer and in the founding of his Coquitlam, British Columbia-based audio rental house Gearforce is a passion for perfecting both his own skills and the equipment he works with. “There’s always new technology available and new methods of doing the job, so learning is something you can never stop doing,” he states. Since he got his start in the Vancouver club scene roughly 25 years ago, the 45-year-old…

Atomic Professional Audio’s growth has always been fueled by their habit of expanding the services they offer, and their inventory, in anticipation of the evolving needs of their clients. That ethic comes from the top down, from co-founder Kevin Margolin. And it isn’t terribly different to the way he sizes up potential gigs with a critical eye ahead of time, in an effort to make sure every show run as smoothly as possible. “When I look at a site –…

Claudio Lastrucci has always felt driven to explore undiscovered territory. It’s a quality that has informed all of his innovations as head of research and development and managing director of Italy-based Powersoft, and perhaps nowhere more than in the creation of DIGAM, the company’s signature. Short for Digital Audio Amplifiers, DIGAM is a patented amplifier technology employing Power Factor Correction (PFC) that has enabled Powersoft to create products so compact, powerful and efficient that some in the industry once believed…

When we catch up with Jim Yakabuski, he’s just finishing a Rob Thomas tour pre-Christmas 2009. Technically today is a day off, the perfect time to take in some football on TV and relax. But then there’s this interview, and the fact that he’s also engaged in a delicate technical project – converting files for his 14-year-old daughter’s high school project. Strictly speaking, this still qualifies as downtime. Not something he gets too much of with four children back home…
