Episode 290 goes all in on wireless as Andy is joined by Cody Heimann, RF applications engineer at Sound Devices as well as a veteran RF coordinator for large-scale events. In the first of two episodes, he talks about how his career grew and led to finding a niche as an RF coordinator for events and clients such as Coachella, New Year's Eve in Times Square, and some of the largest corporate events and conventions in the world. This episode is sponsored by Allen & Heath and RCF.In a wide-ranging conversation, Cody shares tips and advice for handling large events, making wise choices about compromises to fit hundreds of channels of RF into tight spaces, and much more!After starting his career as an audio assistant, he became a stage tech and patch master, moving through the ranks to monitor and front of house engineer, PA tech, and production manager. He's been involved in all things audio, which has allowed him to build a diverse portfolio in troubleshooting, technical skills and client relationships.Now, as an RF applications engineer, he's definitely no stranger to being agile and working in different mediums of the industry. In April of 2024, Cody joined the RF Applications Team at Sound Devices where he largely works largely in product development, technical support, education, and large-scale and complex deployments of the company's Astral wireless systems.Cody loves fitness and the outdoors; he was a part-owner of Music City Boxing in Nashville, met his wife rock climbing as well as an avid motorcycle enthusiast and self-proclaimed “once upon a time drummer.” It's no doubt that music has been a passion of his since his youth and he loves being able to help continue to be a small part in the big shows!Episode Links:Cody Heimann On LinkedInPractical Show Tech 15: RF Over Fiber, Multi-Antenna Systems & MorePractical Show Tech 23: Basics Of Frequency Coordination Using PWS IASSound Devices Astral Wireless FamilyGrownsy Baby Nasal AspiratorPowered Ear Wax RemoverEpisode 290 TranscriptConnect with the community on the Signal To Noise Facebook Group and Discord Server.

This episode is sponsored by Allen & Heath and RCF.Drawing from his work programming intercom systems for large scale corporate and broadcast events, including network upfronts, professional wrestling matches, and the recent SNL50 Homecoming Concert at Radio City Music Hall, Andy shares a brand-agnostic look at some tips and tricks for making the most of the options digital intercom systems offer — how a nearly infinite pool of private channels is helpful (and when it's not!), making sure that as a comms programmer, the first goal is to make everybody else's show run smoother, and why the most important tool a programmer can have on a show site is almost certainly not what you'd guess!Episode Links:Episode 286 TranscriptConnect with the community on the Signal To Noise Facebook Group and Discord Server.
