NEW SOUND SYSTEM!

Over the last 11 years, I've used an outstanding Yamaha sound system.  Not once in the 11 years, have I ever had any issue with this sound system.  Unfortunately, everything becomes outdated over time and in order to keep up with the newer, lighter, and more powerful systems, it was time to upgrade.  While I would have liked to stay with Yamaha, I couldn't justify paying three times the price for a new sound system.

This past Spring I made the decision to go with a lighter, powered speaker.  A friend of mine had told me about the ALTO pro sound (I like the name too!) speakers.  They are made by parent company, InMusic Brands, which also owns Akai, Alesis, MAudio and Numark, so their background is rock solid.  I was a bit skeptical about going with smaller speakers as I've always had 15" speakers to get the bass to kick.  After hearing the 12" speakers, I was amazed at the size, weight and sound.  I made the decision to go with two of those and a 15" subwoofer.  This is quite a change as I've always used just two speakers (and an 800 watt mixer/amp) and have now gone to a three speaker setup (with 2000 watts available).

Alto TS112a powered speaker

The result is incredible.   I have more than double the power of the old system and excellent bass response from the sub, creating a sound system that is top notch!  That doesn't mean I'll be using all that power, but it's nice to know I have it when I need it.

I've already received great response from the first wedding I did.  They commented how clean and clear the sound was that was coming out of the speakers.

My back will also appreciate the weight difference... the new speakers with amps are HALF the weight of my old speakers without amps.  Having amps built in also means I have not one, not two, but THREE speakers that have their own power supply, eliminating the need to carry a backup amp.  The amps are also class D, which means they use the latest technology to provide clean sound with VERY little power draw.

EcoBooth Photo Booth - Ready To Go!

Looking to add a photo booth to your event?  How about just having the photo booth without a DJ?

NO PROBLEM!  There are three options to choose from, each a little more expensive than the other, but offering quite a bit more with each step up.  You can add a photo booth to your event for as little as $200 or if you just want a stand alone photo booth with the full package... you can take advantage of the LIMITED TIME SPECIAL!

2013 Weddings - some familiar places

Tonight's wedding, while short, was very nice.  This one took place at the Howell Opera House, which I have reviewed before.  In case you missed my review, search for "opera house" in the search bar on the left.  What I haven't done in the past is provide a lot of pictures, so here they are...

This is my setup, with the new lighted facade.  I think it looks clean and professional, hopefully you feel the same way.  The reflective tape on the tripods prevents numerous accidents every year.  I see a lot of DJs who wrap their tripods in white (which looks a little tacky to me) and worse yet, in black, which makes them even harder to see when the lights are low and people are dancing.  There are plenty of venues that don't allow sufficient space for the DJ's setup or have them setup in a high traffic area and having someone's grandmother or aunt trip over a speaker stand with her walker is just not a good thing, so I made sure they COULD be seen.

Food was provided by Gerard's Catering and was VERY good.  They were also smart enough to put the salad and salad plates at the end of the line so you don't have to carry two plates while getting your main course - SMART!

 

EcoBooth at Pink Party

The 2013 Howell Pink Party was huge success once again.  Guests tried out our new EcoBooth photo booth and loved it!

Over 150 pictures were taken and placed in our wedpics.com gallery.  Everyone seemed to like the fact that EcoBooth is the ONLY socially-networked photo booth of it's kind.

The full gallery of pictures from the photo booth can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151671308470733.1073741827.604480732&type=3

GREAT tip for upcoming weddings!

Over this past weekend, I was introduced to a wedding tip that you'll ALL want to use - because it's FREE! I try to stay on top of new technology and useful apps for smartphones, but this one slipped past me.

WedPics is one of the best ideas I've seen for weddings. It is the modern day version of leaving a disposable camera on every table for guests to take pictures. The bride and groom register their date on the wedpics app, create a password and have the option to order cards to be placed on the tables at their reception (you could probably just make your own cards). Guests download the app (itunes or android), create an account (or login with facebook) and login using your wedding ID. They can then take pictures and upload them to a gallery that everyone (that has the ID) can see.

What is the cost? FREE! The cards probably have a cost, but the app and gallery do not.

They Took Back the Night!

The 2013 Take Back the Night rally and march, took place on April 4th in Ann Arbor.  Take Back The Night provides awareness about sexual violence and rape.  It empowers survivors to reclaim the right to be free from violence and have their voice be heard.  The DJ Guy volunteered services for the rally portion of the event. 

You can learn more about Take Back the Night at their website: http://tbtnannarbor.org/
