COS-11D HWM Shines in Shepherd of the Hills Production
Each year, California’s Shepherd of the Hills Church presents “The Passion Play,” a large scale musical reenactment of the life of Jesus Christ. With over 160 cast members, the critically-acclaimed production has become a focal point of activity for one of the nation’s largest non-denominational churches. This year, Sanken’s new COS-11D HWM head worn microphone was tested out on principle performers by Technical Director and Production Designer Jeff Taylor.
“We had access to an early production unit and gave it a try,” remarked Taylor. “We were amazed at the sonic quality, not only for the robust singing, but the speech, as well. Everything just opened up — it sounded as if we were using good handheld ribbon mics.”
Sanken’s new head worn COS-11D HWM utilizes the more…

Special effects guru Kevin Harris is a fan of Look Solutions’ foggers and hazers and uses them every chance he gets, especially on the USA Network hit series “Burn Notice” where he serves as special effects coordinator.
“I used the Unique2 hazer on the entire last season of ‘Burn Notice,’” he says. “I also used the Viper NT and Viper S foggers since we do a lot of explosions on the show. The reason I use the Vipers more than any other machines is because I can work them off remotes; I can put out eight machines and have one button work them all.”
The Unique2 haze machine offers minimal warm up time, minimal noise and minimal fluid consumption. Its new, more efficient fan quickly distributes haze in a room, and its variable output can achieve any desired effect from more…
