As the fires around us continue to ravage we are doing our best to continue operations and serve our clients. Many of our employees have been evacuated and some have lost their homes. Our first commitment is to our employees and community. In the meantime, the PCD employees who are able to report to work are picking up the load in order to assure our clients are being served.
Our crew of installers and technicians stand out because of their experience and knowledge of audio, video, and communications systems. PCD’s installation team are all members of the IBEW Local 551 Union, and our training program for apprentices is run through the Union. This gives a regularity to the training our employees receive and prepares them with the technical skills they need. With an average of 8 years of experience in AV and electrical work, and a fierce commitment to keeping abreast of emerging technologies, our team is well qualified to complete custom work. One of our employees recently celebrated 20 years of service with us! When our customers hire PCD, they know they are getting certified and highly skilled installers.
PCD has built a reputation on supporting education, theater arts, churches, conference centers, hotels, and a wide variety of businesses through High Definition Audio/Visual systems. Our talented engineers design and implement world-class systems for theaters and concert halls across Northern California, ensuring that the sound can be comfortably heard from the back of the auditorium right to stage front center. Our high-tech solutions can bring a professional quality to your school theater. With every project, our experienced team takes the time to create an Audio/Visual system that works for your space and needs.
In the process of installing our systems, we often run into the need where multiple runs of microphones from various stage panels that have XLR connectors all have to feed to a central point where we need to allow a easy to connect and disconnect location. This is often used to allow a mixing console to reside in the control booth or be moved to a center of house location in the audience for a better mixing position. To do that, there are a few manufacturers that make multi-pin jacks that allow this easy and fast, reliable and durable quick connect to happen. In this example, we are referring to the Whirlwind brand Mass connector. Multiple pins allow each conductor to make a secure and solid connection for reliable and quality signal flow. These are tedious and takes a skilled hand and good eyesight to ensure a quality and reliable long term solution for our venues.
Seeing a Multi Pin connector in a panel, it looks so organized and simple.
