Live Sound System for a Million People 🤨

Presidential Inauguration | Janury, 2017 | Washington, D.C.

Maryland Sound International of Baltimore, Maryland took on yet another Presidential Inauguration Ceremony and Parade. No strangers to the world stage, if you own a television set you’ve probably seen their work. Most recognizable probably being the ball drop ceremony in Times Square, NYC on New Years Eve each year.

We covered that system and how they pull it all together in Video #120 NYE in NYC with MSI and that was a huge amount of fun. While the two events are quite different, you’ll see much of the same approach and technology used to reach their end goals. The differences you will notice are in the backbone of the system they create, as Dante technology has been added to the toolkit in the time between the two events.

MSI has adopted networked audio technology in a big way since 2017. They have some of the most talented folks in the industry on their crews as Dante experts. Resulting in their ability to build unique solutions to problems often created by huge physical and logistical obstacles. This is what makes their team one of the best in the world & it’s been a lot of fun seeing how they do it all.

Common questions from the video include the Shure sm57 presidential kit. It is one of the more outlandishly priced kits in the industry today and worth a look. However, the Optocore system also gets a lot of curious questions, which is great. Be sure to check out their site for more details on their current offerings.
