Have you tried Masque?

I'm looking for Wireless Lavs for two weeks next month, the client I am working with wants 12 of them but I'll take what budget and availability allows.

If you want your gear to be broken, delivered late, and wrong go to one dream.
Masque is having the same supply issues PRG is, but they will try to make it work, they may have kits to rent out.
Do you need a full wireless setup or just lavs? None of the shops will rent lavs, you purchase them...
Try sound associates in Yonkers, gear works, they are slow,but they seem to have some RF in stock.
Budget $100/channel/week not including lavs.

Have you tried looking at the Event Production Directory? There are 42 listing for Sound in New Jersey. You can narrow that down by city.

Thanks everyone, seems that Boulevard Pro might be the way to go.

I used to freelance at One Dream. Surprised to see people having a bad experience with them. From the tech side it seemed like the stuff we were taking out was very well maintained and on the higher end of the spectrum. This is over ten years ago but I loved doing jobs with them for the most part. Maybe I have been stuck in Vermont for too long.

That was way before the owners fired their entire Local One crew, and moved from LIC to Paramus, NJ....overnight...without warning.

Technically no, Paramus where they are now is local 632 - home to masque and 4-wall. Secaucus is local 59 - home to PRG and Christie lites. They could have maintained their one crew out there as most shops have one or two local one members who have retired to the jersey shops and end up being in one and 632/59. When one dream moved they gave no heads up to local 1, and just moved. They did it in hopes that their crew would quit so they could save $$$. They made no move to join 632 in NJ. There is current litigation against them for breach of contract when they broke their collective bargaining agreement with one. Sketchy stuff...they had one of the few remaining local one audio apprenticeship positions.

I've worked with this guy (Pat A.) in the past, I know he has that kind of gear in in his shop. His contact info is on his site. He is a busy guy usually running many of the events himself, so give him a ring or two, and he should get back to you if he can't answer right away.

Have you tried Skylands Pro Audio out of Blairstown? They are very good and their gear is top notch! Worked with them on a high school gig and eventually got a job with them. They came out and did RF coordination and everything!
