Conservatory students had the showroom brought to them recently when the impressive 65-foot Crown product demo truck visited the campus. Crown regional manager Loren Robinson and program manager Rick Modjeska expertly wheeled the big rig into the Conservatory’s parking lot, which immediately created a buzz on campus. As class breaks allowed, students were lined up for tours much to the delight of local Crown rep, Andy Connors. "The students are really asking the right questions", marveled Connors who stood in on several of the demos given by product expert Robinson.
The Crown truck is definitely hi-tech and features amplifier models from the XLS, CE, XS, K, CH, CL, CTS, MA, Studio Reference, and D series. The truck also houses the Crown USM810 and BSS PS810CN IQ processors. Also onboard are all of Crown's microphones and P.I.P. modules with speakers from JBL Pro including the LSR32L & R, Control 25, MP418S and a Studio Center from JBL Consumer. An AMX automation system provides control for lighting and computer/video switching.
The Crown truck visit is part of the Conservatory’s guest lecture series, which brings many audio luminaries to the campus. In the past, Rupert Neve, John Storyk, Mike Sokol, Eve Anna Manley, and Wes Dooley have visited the school giving students an unparalleled chance to rub elbows with the movers and shakers in the audio business.
