If you had a chance to attend one of our recent Yamaha CL Series events, you may have had the chance to hear the Portico 5045 Primary Source Enhancer from Rupert Neve Designs.
The 5045 Primary Source Enhancer is a single rack space, two channel device that is exceptionally useful at reducing feedback, effectively increasing microphone gain before feedback by up to 20dB, without negatively impacting the sonic integrity of the source signal.
With controls that are very simply laid out that require minimal adjustment, the 5045 is an invaluable tool for churches, stadiums, performance halls, or any venue where feedback can be a problem.

A veteran of concerts, conventions, and everything in between, the Shure UHF-R® wireless system has earned a reputation as the warhorse of wireless systems. Having shared the spotlight with mega-stars and mega-ministers, it’s no surprise that UHF-R was chosen to support two classic productions presented by two classic theater companies in two distinctly different venues in Chicago, each of which posed unique challenges.
Audio support for both shows was provided by local wireless experts TC Furlong Incorporated, based in Lake Forest, Illinois.
At the Chicago Shakespeare Theater’s production of Sondheim Follies at Navy Pier, 20 channels of UHF-R wireless system were used, with a mix of standard and micro-bodypack transmitters.

Named “one of the best opera companies in the world” by Esquire magazine, the Lyric Opera of Chicago presented an American contribution to the operatic stage at the close of its season—Show Boat. To properly present Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein’s seminal masterpiece that was first performed in 1927, Lyric Opera chose a large complement of sound reinforcement equipment from Meyer Sound.
“As a company, we’re not just doing the great works of European culture but also the great works of American culture,” explains Drew Landmesser, production and technical director for Lyric Opera of Chicago. “This is a 3,600-plus-seat house, a huge hall to be doing a musical. To get everyone’s diction—their song and spoken words—and to be as crisp and clear as possible in a house this size is quite a challenge.”

Built in the mid-1920s, The Moody Church in downtown Chicago accommodates more than 3,700 worshippers, making it the largest non-pillared auditorium in the metro area. Amplification inside the vast oval sanctuary was once fraught with challenges until the recent replacement of a 20-year-old main cluster with a new Meyer Sound MINA line array system.
“To the untrained eye, the new cluster doesn’t look that much different,” admits Michael Arman, the church’s audio/visual technical coordinator, “so you might not notice we have a new system. But after the first Sunday, our senior pastor [Dr. Erwin Lutzer] told me that a number of people had praised him on his voice being in unusually good form. Apparently, they were hearing nuances they’d never heard before.”
