Houston-based rental house Jason Martin Audio has replaced its traditional stand-alone smaller-scale intercom systems with the Pliant Technologies CrewCom wireless intercom platform that’s been deployed in support of the company’s work at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, Super Bowl, Major League Baseball World Series, NBA Finals, United States presidential debates, and many others.
“The scalability of CrewCom is wonderful,” says owner Jason Martin. “It excels in small-scale productions as well as very large and complex shows. CrewCom’s 900 MHz band allows me to focus my frequency coordination on UHF and VHF microphones and IFB’s respectively without having to be concerned about the wireless intercom system. We are in an environment where the RF spectrum continues to decrease in the country so it is imperative that I have equipment that can work together yet minimize overlap.”
Jason Martin Audio has a total of four CrewCom Control Units (CU), two 8-Port Copper Hubs, two 8-Port Fiber Hubs, 17 Radio Transceivers (RT) and 40 Radio Packs (RP) in addition to a selection of headsets, for deployment on various projects. Martin continues to add to his inventory and is currently looking into expanding his inventory with CrewCom 2.4 GHz Radio Packs and Radio Transceivers.
“CrewCom proved to be exactly what I was looking for in terms of quality and flexibility,” adds Martin. “The nice thing about CrewCom is its ease-of-use; the radio packs are straight forward and can be used by all skill levels. It’s quite frankly a difficult item to keep on the shelves from a rental perspective. Our customers love it.”
