Author Topic: USL, Inc. Rocks!! (And give a shout out to other great companies!) Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 09-03-2010 04:10 PM                     Ah yes...QSC. Not only great support, but fantastic products too.  |  IP: Logged Pete Naples Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1565 From: Dunfermline, Scotland Registered: Feb 2001 posted 09-03-2010 04:31 PM                     I'll add my name to this list of pro-USL people. We've been using a fair bit of USL kit of late and I've been very impressed with it, and with the help and support I've had from Clint & team. The USL mug you guys gave me holds a decent amount of coffee too I've used a bit of BACP gear, and been more than happy with it's performance and the price. Kinoton are another company high on my list, good products, good support and a training course in Munich during October is a fine way to pass some time  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 09-03-2010 07:17 PM                        I swear there used to be a bunch of behind-the-scenes videos on the USL website. I remember watching them some time ago. It showed the inside of their offices, warehouse and stuff of that nature. Clint was in much of it, I believe.  |  IP: Logged Clint Koch Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1435 From: San Luis Obispo, CA, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 09-03-2010 07:55 PM                     Joe, it is still there on our web-site. Can't believe I just pointed that out. Goofiest thing I have ever done...well maybe not! It is old and needs to be updated. USL, Inc. does in fact manufacture the DSTR and RSTR for BACP. We have a very close working relationship with BACP and Sam. Goes back many years.  |  IP: Logged Demetris Thoupis Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1240 From: Aradippou, Larnaca, Cyprus Registered: Apr 2001 posted 09-04-2010 03:24 AM                     Clint you are just saying that to show how old Sam is Demetris  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 09-04-2010 03:46 AM                     quote: Clint Koch Joe, it is still there on our web-site.

Quicktime required, I think. And don't worry Clint, you come off a lot less silly than Tomlinson Holman does on my THX WOW LaserDisc. I do corporate stuff like that all the time, though I at least don't squish the aspect ratio. Too bad USL isn't in Colorado otherwise I'd make a new one for you.  |  IP: Logged Demetris Thoupis Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1240 From: Aradippou, Larnaca, Cyprus Registered: Apr 2001 posted 09-05-2010 12:27 PM                     Really a presentation Clint!! Still looking forward to the DES unit which is yet to come!

And when is the DES unit coming out? I have to add QSC to the list (thanks Gordon and Brad) as they are also very easy to deal with and offer excellent product support. They repaired and returned shipped a USA 900 amp that had died at UC Irvine at no charge..even though it was two years PAST warranty!! Sam H. who pops in here every now and then is also a great guy who has been helpful...BTW Sam did they update the firmware for the DCM's to fix the little load fault issue? (At low levels the load fault light can come on even though everything is ok.)  |  IP: Logged Mike Heenan Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1896 From: Scottsdale, AZ, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 09-05-2010 10:46 PM                     I recently ordered 20 rolls of Neumade splicing tape from ACE, and I was charged $15 for shipping. Anyone know of a good company to order booth supplies from that doesn't gouge on shipping?  |  IP: Logged Tony Bandiera Jr Film God Posts: 3067 From: Moreland Idaho Registered: Apr 2004 posted 09-05-2010 11:10 PM                     Ummm Mike, this is not the thread for that...try to keep this positive please. Anyone who can answer Mike's question please do so by PM to keep this thread on track.  |  IP: Logged David Favel Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 764 From: Ashburton, New Zealand Registered: Feb 2002 posted 09-06-2010 10:47 PM                     Very much appreciated to get a call from Edge/Atlab on Saturday after the earthquake to make sure we were OK and to enquire if all the booth survived.  |  IP: Logged Clint Koch Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1435 From: San Luis Obispo, CA, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 09-07-2010 09:01 PM                     Thanks guys for the positive feedback on the USL movie. Joe, If we were in Colorado I would take you up on the offer. Demetris, Sam will be the first to admit how old he is. He's been around since the beginning of...Oh never mind. Seriously, thank you all for the positive feedback. Shared this with the workers in the trenches at USL and it does wonders for moral when they hear this stuff! David, even though I really only deal with Glen and Ray Bullen down your way, who I checked in on when I heard the news of the quake and they are okay, I am glad to hear you are also okay.  |  IP: Logged Richard Hamilton Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1341 From: Evansville, Indiana Registered: Jan 2000 posted 09-08-2010 11:17 AM                     A few other people that I've worked with that deserve respect are Sean James, Al Biers and Fred Walwraven.
