NATIONAL CATHOLIC YOUTH CONFERENCE
SERVED BY “Q GETS IT” WITH JBL VERTEC

Production services firm juggles multiple stages and venues
for 23,000 teens at Astrodome, Reliant Stadium

NOVEMBER 13, 2003 – HOUSTON, TEXAS - Technical production needs for “River of Life”, the National Catholic Youth Conference’s annual multi-venue gathering, were handled by Q Gets It. The integrated production services company, with offices in Nashville and Philadelphia, has pulled together a broad range of sound systems and audio technicians to serve the conference. The two major venues, Reliant Stadium and the Astrodome, were both equipped with portable JBL VERTEC® line array systems for the event. The VERTEC VT4889 full-range and VT4880 subwoofer arrays for both venues are powered by Crown Macro-Tech series amplifiers.

Sponsored by the National Federation for Catholic Youth Ministry, the major religious conference is one of the largest events of its type in the nation. From November 13-16, teens from across The North America are attending presentations and concerts featuring inspirational speakers and musical groups, including Tony Alonso, Matt Maher, Briana and Ceili Rain.

Sound reinforcement needs for such a complex, multi-venue conference are staggering. “We try to select the appropriate sound systems to match up with the program material and venue characteristics,” advised Howard Jones, Vice President of Audio for Q Gets It. “We really appreciate the way that JBL’s VERTEC system goes up so easily, and the VERTEC arrays give an extremely professional appearance which is important to our client. And of course we require loudspeaker systems with excellent coverage and output power capabilities when dealing with challenging buildings like the Astrodome.”

To cover audio needs for “River of Life”, the NCYC’s biggest single event of the year, Q Gets It has coordinated the hire and onsite set-up of multiple sound systems from various firms like Sound Image, Atlas Sound, Gulf Coast Sound and LD Systems.
