Apex Productions Takes Benny Hinn on the Road with LightViper™
— Three-way split covers FOH, monitors and broadcast truck with pristine digital audio —
Annapolis Junction, MD, February 26, 2009 — Famed television evangelist Benny Hinn racks up a lot of miles taking his ministry on the road. In just March and April of this year, Hinn’s troupe will have traveled to many cities including Porto Alegre, Brazil; Atlanta, Georgia; and Rome, Italy. Despite the grueling schedule, the audio is always great with the use of LightViper™ optical cable/audio transport system from FiberPlex, Inc. The system is supplied by Apex Productions, a Highland, Utah-based premier provider of production services including audio, video projection & capture, lighting and staging, as a key element of the sound reinforcement services they provide for Hinn’s appearances. The LightViper system runs 64 channels of audio from the stage to the front-of-house (FOH) mixing position, the monitor mix position and the broadcast truck, which also records the events. Both the FOH position and the broadcast truck also send 8-channel returns to the stage via the LightViper system.
“There’s a wide variety of sizes and types of venues we’re doing, and some of them, like arenas and dirt fields, involve long cable runs,” explains Danny Huebsch, Founder and Owner of Apex Productions. “LightViper can handle the long distances that copper cannot, and fiber is a much easier and lighter proposition than copper cable snakes. It was also a very cost-effective solution, which saved the client money. So it’s great on a number of levels.”
LightViper’s fiber optic system offers total signal path isolation between both stage and mixer as well as between the mixer and power amplification. The LightViper cable is totally immune to ground loops, RFI, EMI and electromechanical noise, and runs of up to 1.25 miles (6,600 feet) can be easily accomplished without signal loss or degradation.
