AY Productions gears up with Pliant Technologies CrewCom system

AY Productions, a specialist in audio and intercoms, provides television networks with a team of communication engineers for the setup and operation of intercoms for a range of sporting events. Since AY first started using Pliant Technologies’ CrewCom Wireless Intercom System, the company has deployed it for a range of live productions on major networks, such as the AFC Championships, the Super Bowl and the NFL Combine, among other large-scale live sporting events.

As these types of productions have become more massive and technical, AY has expanded its CrewCom inventory, now carrying a total of 42 CrewCom CRP-44 Radio Packs (RPs) in addition to several CrewCom Radio Transceivers (RT), Control Units (CU) and SmartBoom headsets from Pliant Technologies.

AY Audio Engineers Max Muehlen and Sean Weathersby are long-time Pliant users. “One of the main goals of AY Productions is that we are a one-stop shop for coms”, says Weathersby. “With the additional RPs, we’re able to meet the needs for any size production we’ve encountered or may encounter in the future.”

One notable example of this being AY taking on the NFL Combine. “The Combine was a big task, because at the same time, the NFL Network was doing multiple shows. Sean was swinging from studio to studio and CrewCom followed - the system was able to delegate that really well”, says Muehlen. “The use of the RPs was also an important aspect here. Many other beltpacks can often be complicated for users, and we used to get a ton of questions about how to work the gear, but with the CrewCom RPs, it’s simplified.”
