SOUND EQUIPMENT
|
When you need to hear the music clearly at any volume and when you need the bass to be thumping no matter what size the room...you need truly professional sound equipment. That is why SWAHT uses some of the absolute best equipment available.
|
JBL SR4731X TOPS
 |
Our two SR4731X speakers produces incredible mid-range power combined with tight, punchy bass. These speakers are used for our larger venues, mainly gyms and those gigs that require concert/club sound. Most of the time whenever you get a crowd of people in front of a PA, only the first couple rows hear the music how it is intended to be since higher frequencies get absorbed by the bodies in the way. However, these massive speakers send crystal clear high and mid-range sound ripping through a obstacles like a knife through warm butter.

BOSE 802 SERIES II/III TOPS
| Two of our compact 802 tops have enough power and incredible clarity for most medium to large sized rooms. Their light weight and small profile make them the perfect tops for our wedding package. |  |
PEAVEY SP-2XT TOPS
 |
These two tops are used for our backup system and smaller parties. In concert sound applications we occasionally set one or two up as stage/drum monitors. These speakers were designed for live sound. It's powerful highs coupled with a Black Widow 15" woofer that produces tight mid range and solid low end sound projects tremendously. The speakers shown are not the exact same series we own but are essentially the same component-wise. |
JBL SR4718X SUBWOOFERS
| The four SR4718X single 18" subwoofers we have produce pounding bass from easy-to-transport, compact enclosures. These are the the speakers that will produce the club sound for any size room. Even most clubs don't have woofers like these. These will take the "sub in every corner of a small room" sound and distribute it throughout a gymnasium or dining hall. For our large venues, including schools and live sound, all four subs are usually used while our weddings only require two. |  |
BOSE 502-BP SUBWOOFER
 |
This sub provides deep clear lows from a single enclosure. It contains one 12" woofer with a 4" voice coil that handles 900 watts. It's small profile offers backyard parties, and small weddings the perfect amount of bass. It is occasionally used to fill in the area between sub woofers in gyms in an effort to decrease sound phasing. |
SONIC M12 EVM-PL STAGE MONITORS
| These speakers only make appearances at our sound jobs. They provide powerful directed sound with minimal feedback. They are used as our front monitors, sometimes in addition to the Peavey tops. They have an added feature to the crossover which allows us to control how much sound is put through the horn. This helps to prevent the monitors from screaming at you while you're on stage. |  |
BOSE PANARAY SYSTEM CONTROLLER
 |
The Panaray® system digital controller consolidates a number of functions into a single unit. Speaker equalization, delay and limiting settings are in one central source for easy, efficient display and functionality. |
BOSE SYSTEM CONTROLLER
 |
This unit is used to control the 802 tops and 502 sub for the perfect balance of our Bose system. It includes a built in crossover to aid the balance of the optimal frequencies. |
DBX & RANE ACTIVE STEREO CROSSOVERS
| These devices are used to split high and low frequencies to balance our speakers for the optimal frequency ranges. More lows or highs can be delivered with the turn of a knob. We currently own one DBX crossover and two of the Rane. One Rane is held for backup. | 
|
DBX 266XL COMPRESSOR/GATE
 |
This compressor/gate allows a certain amount of sound to flow through before compressing it so as to monitor the volume level so that no one gets their hearing damaged. The limiter aspect of it cuts out very quiet sounds, which is advantageous in live sound production and recording. It also helps to add punch for more dynamic sound. |
ALESIS M-EQ 230 STEREO EQUALIZER
| This equalizer has 32 bands stereo. This means we have access to 32 different frequency ranges, which help us to minimize feedback during live sound production and also help to fine tune our speaker systems in addition to using our crossovers. |  |
FURMAN PL-SERIES POWER CONDITIONERS
 |
Our two power conditioners protect our equipment from surges and dirty ungrounded power. One of our models even gives us a reading of the exact voltage the wall is supplying. |
CROWN K2 POWER AMPLIFIER
| Subwoofers consume a great deal of power and are known to draw lots of amperage from a wall outlet. These amps will not draw more than 6.5 amps from a power source per unit. They are crown’s flag ship amps. The best the business has to offer in terms of power consumption to output. We use them to power two of our JBL subs at a time. These units deliver the chest thumping, wall shaking bass, helping to bring the club atmosphere to any size room. | 
|
CROWN CE2000 POWER AMPLIFIER
 |
Crown is the brand to use when is comes to professional amplifiers. This amp is perfect for powering our JBL tops. It provides great power while consuming less. Also it’s THD (total harmonic distortion) factor is one the best in the business. |
CROWN POWERBASE 3 POWER AMPLIFIER
| This is our most powerful amp, only the current it draws from powering our subs is sometimes too much. So, it is primarily a backup amplifier. Provides upward of 1800 watts at 2 ohms. |  |
PEAVEY PV1200 POWER AMPLIFIER
 |
This amp can provide up to 1200 watts at 2 ohms mono and mainly powers our Peavey SP2XT tops. |
CARVIN DCM1500 AMPLIFIER
| This amp occasionally powers our Bose tops and/or stage monitors depending on the type of application. |  |
DENON DN-X400 DIGITAL DJ MIXERS
 |
We have one of these mixers for each of our two DJ rigs. Denon is the leading name in digital sound. They are solid, reliable, and incredibly good at keeping THD to a minimum. Certain features even allow us to pre-listen to songs while others are playing. This unit allows us to crossfade between 4 different channel (sources or music) at a time. |
SONY MXD-D40 CD/MD PLAYERS
| Minidisc technology allows for the maximum flexibility of recording and editing digital music today. MD's do not scratch or skip. Combined with a CD player on the opposite side, these units allow us to play from multiple digital medias. We currently own two of these units along with one single MD deck on our back up rig. |  |
EV & SHURE WIRELESS MICROPHONES
  |
Wireless microphones are a necessity when it comes to doing weddings or any jobs that require a person to be able to effectively interact with a crowd. These EV and Shure models allow for ultimate clarity and mobility. Note that we only have the handheld systems and not the lavaliere or headset as shown. |
PVM-22 PEAVEY MICROPHONES
| These are solid unidirectional microphones with diamond diaphragms and cardioid response. The three of these are mainly used for lead vocals when we do sound and also for backup microphones at our DJ gigs. |  |
SHURE SM-57 AND SM-58 MICROPHONES
 |
These SM-57 microphones are the standard for instrument mic-ing and are used also for mic-ing guitar cabinets. Bright clean sound comes from a unidirectional cardioid diaphragm. Again, with the SM-58, Shure provides the standard in vocal mics. There is rarely a professional sound job that takes place without this vocal mic. |
SHURE SM 10A HEADSET MICROPHONE
| This mic is perfect for singing drummers or anyone that needs their hands to be free. It’s got great cardioid dynamic response and is adjustable to every head shape. |  |
AUDIX F-SERIES PERCUSSION MICROPHONES
 |
These 4 mics are packaged and finely tuned specially to home in on the “sweet spots” of percussive instruments. There are 3 tom/snare mics and one kick mic. These even come with special clips that pinch onto any drum or conga rim. |
SAMICK 24 CHANNEL MIXING BOARD
| This board is used for our sound job and can handle more inputs than are generally needed. This company is out of Germany and no longer makes sound equipment but has a very prestigious name when it comes to making instruments, particularly pianos. |  |
HORIZON STAGE PLUS SERIES 16 CHANNEL 100FT. SNAKE
 |
This snake runs 100ft. with 16 well built channels that are kept clean for years of quality performance. It also includes 4 sends, which helps to clean up our setup and keep cords and equipment out of the way of band members and/or spectators. |
DELL INSPIRON 8100 AND 8600 NOTEBOOK COMPUTER
| We use these machines to play most of our mp3 files and also to make searching through our music inventory a quick an easy task. |   |
COMPAQ PRESARIO 1200 SERIES NOTEBOOKS
 |
These notebook computer are also used for playing mp3's and searching for music. We one of these for main mp3 playback and keep the other one as a backup for all of our files. Our software allows us to edit mp3's and cross fade seamlessly between tracks. |
VISIOSONIC PCDJ SOFTWARE
| This software plays mp3's while giving us the same tools that our Denon mixers provide. Cross fading, cueing, and forming waitlists are done effortlessly on our 4 laptops. |  |
