Equipment

Jack's Packs has assembled only the finest audio equipment, offering an assortment of microphones chosen to accommodate any theatrical experience from a quiet straight play to the loudest of rock opera musicals, carefully matched with digital control to offer the maximum gain-before-feedback ratio.

Here is a partial list of some of the equipment we offer.

Elastic belt packs, AKA “Jack’s Packs” Custom designed to secure the wireless transmitters out of sight of the audience and out of mind of the actors, intended to be worn under and out of the way of all layers of costumes so that the actors need not concern themselves with the audio equipment at all.  Sizes are available to accommodate every actor in your production from the tiniest of Tims to the most awesome Sumo wrestlers.
24 Sennheiser UHF wireless body pack transmitters These dual-diversity, multi-channel transmitters offer maximum protection against signal dropout, even in the most difficult of venues, and include a pilot signal enabling the receivers to lock on to the audio signals while rejecting all external interference.
24 Sennheiser ME2 over-the-ear microphones These Sennheiser ME 2 microphones are omnidirectional electret-condenser pick-ups that delivers sharp, clean sound in a package small enough to be worn over-the-ear and almost out of sight.  These discreet and powerful microphones are an excellent choice for almost any production.
24 Countryman E6 boom microphones Delivering comfort and sound quality, the E6 Omnidirectional Earset Microphones provide impressive performance with rigid booms and smaller silicone earpads.  Practically invisible to live or broadcast audiences, these boom microphones are incredibly comfortable for the wearer; capture the closest sound sources clearly with excellent rejection of wind, ambient noise, and feedback; and work wonderfully to project actors’ voices above the loudest of rock opera musicals.
8 Sennheiser handheld microphones Jack's Packs uses Sennheiser microphones for the best audio fidelity in the demanding challenges of capturing voices from the theatrical stage.   These handheld microphones offer natural vocal pickup with a tight cardioid pickup pattern, so it picks up the vocalist in front of it while avoiding background noise and feedback for the most accurate vocal reproduction.
12 AudioTechnica 853 hanging area mics Designed for accurate signal, the U853s’ capsules feature a wide frequency response and highly sensitive cardioid capsules. The cardioid pick up pattern provides a focused pick up area by minimizing noise and ambiance at the off-axis sections of the microphones. The result is a focused pick up without residual room noise and feedback.  The wide, linear frequency response ensures transparent, accurate reproduction of both vocals and instruments.  The U853As’ rich audio quality, detailed signal reproduction, small profile and flexibility make them an excellent choice for capturing the softest stage whisper in a play or as a fill-in to pick up every voice in musical chorus numbers.
Yamaha LS9 32-channel digital mixer With 32 input head amps, the LS9-32 can comfortably handle the complex and varied source requirements presented by a wide range of live sound applications, and delivers the performance and versatility needed in theatrical productions.  Offering 31-band equalization in each individual channel, every microphone can be fine-tuned for the richest tone and maximum feedback rejection.
