Making its debut at the Winter NAMM show, StageStrike, a new company formed by Castor Milano, came out swinging.
Headquartered in Orlando FL, StageStrike manufactures a product line of modular, stackable, inter-lockable organisation systems for wireless packs and handheld microphones that provide solutions for organising and improving workflow for both touring and corporate live sound operators. The system consists of the MiQb and the packHolder, patent pending stands and holders sourced from industrial 3D printing technology which allow for fast product development cycles as well as user feedback generated updates.
Company owner, Castor Milano, created the StageStrike system by stepping out of his comfort zone which is predominately FOH mixing. Milano still has a foot in the in-ear monitoring world having designed the Da Vinci Series IEM’s for Clear Tune Monitors. Regarding the reception of the StageStrike products he commented, “I was blown away by the reaction and interest at NAMM. We received orders from touring productions as well as major corporate rental houses.”
Christian Media Group (CMG) is a full-service production company based in Miami FL, specialising in the fields of large-scale audio-visual services, corporate events, film & television production and live webcasting & broadcasting.
Company CEO Jeronimo Terife stated, “StageStrike’s modular audio equipment management system has been a game-changer for CMG. With its versatile design, we can effortlessly customize layouts for various projects, optimizing space and accessibility. The 3D printed audio equipment is impressive with its precision design, durable build and versatile adaptability, offering our technical team a compact workspace that always looks neat and organised and also creates a good impression with our clients.”
In the live sound touring world, Eddie Caipo, who is mixing monitors for Enrique Iglesias on the Trilogy Tour, has been an early and avid adopter of the StageStrike products. He currently utilises eleven body pack holders and two MiQb stands stating, “Keeping my monitor world organised used to be a struggle. But now, with MiQbs and packHolders from StageStrike, my world is much more organised and neat.”
