Sound for Video Session: Jeri Palumbo on Live Broadcast Mixing

In this week's Sound for Video Session, we're joined by Jeri Palumbo. Jeri has built herself an enviable career, becoming one of North America's top tier live event audio mixers. Her sports client list includes the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, and NASCAR, not to mention working on their signature events, including the Super Bowl, Stanley Cup, and World Series. But that isn't all! The entertainment shows she's worked her audio magic on have included the globally known brands The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Conan O'Brien, American Idol, and The Oscars. Of course, given she can count the legendary Les Paul as one of her mentors, you would expect nothing less than this spectacular resume. Now, fresh from her most recent gig, helping out a little-known college football tourney called THE ROSE BOWL, let's welcome Jeri Palumbo!!!

You can find Jeri online at Arena Waves, Instagram, Twitter and LinkedIn.

Rycote Nano Shield and PCS Quick Release System for Microphones

In this episode, we have a closer look at the Rycote Nano Shield wind shield as well as Rycote’s PCS quick release system for microphones. Rycote pitches the Nano Shield as their most advanced wind shield to date, and in my testing with it so far, I agree. Their PCS quick release system includes several different models including their flagship model for boom poles as well as the less expensive Lite version for studio microphone arms or even camera equipment. Let’s take a closer look!
