    SMFC launch 2017 Membership

    South Melbourne FC is pleased to launch its membership campaign ahead of the 2017 National Premier League Victoria season.

    We’ve introduced a new membership category in 2017, in conjunction with the opening of the SMFC Social Club at Lakeside Stadium. The unique membership will give you priority access to our wonderful new facility, including discounts on all food and drink purchased within the premises. You will also receive a new SMFC Scarf (Valued at $30) and numerous discounts throughout the year from our associated partners.

    The Social Club Membership will also give you entry into all SMFC Home controlled matches at Lakeside Stadium, including both of our men’s and women’s senior teams. Many double-header matches have been planned, with 2017 members able to watch both of our senior teams at Lakeside Stadium.

    Due to a new membership database system being implemented ahead of the launch of the Social Club, online purchases will not be available until Mid-March. Until such time that this is available, you can simply fill out the membership form and submit your membership application via email.

    The club has numerous community based events planned leading into our opening home match in April, so membership can be purchased from any one of these also. Stay tuned to our website and social media as these events are announced.

    It is very important that you support us by purchasing your membership. We want success both on and off the park and we are aiming to increase and broaden our membership more than we did in 2016.

    It’s time! #smfc4aleague

  • Me Myself and I

    Me Myself and I

    Many years ago, I worked for my parents who own a video production company. Because it is a family business, you inevitably end up wearing many hats and being the czar of many different jobs. I mainly managed projects and worked as a video editor. On production, there were times that I was called on to work as an audio tech and was made to wear headphones on long production days. In those days, having a really good set of headphones that picked up every nuance of sound was essential to making sure the client got what they needed.

    First impressions.

    Naturally, my first impression of these headphones is based off of the look of them. They have a classic over-the-ear style that is highlighted by a blue LED light that indicates the power for the noise canceling. The padding on the ear pieces seems adequate for extended usage periods.
    They are wired headphones, but the 3.5mm stereo mini-plug cable is detachable. Something else I noticed right of the bat was the very nice carrying case that comes with them. It has a hard plastic exterior with a soft cloth interior that helps to protect the surface of the headphones from scratches. I never truly appreciated cases for headphones until I started carrying them from place-to-place. Now I can’t imagine not having a case.

    A perfect fit.

    Once I gave the headphones a thorough once-over exam, I tried them on. As I mentioned, they have a classic over-the-ear style and just looking at them, the padding on the ear pieces seem adequate and the peak of the headband seemed to be a bit lacking, but you don’t really know comfort unless you try on the product. So, I slipped the headphones on and found them to be exquisitely comfortable.

    It’s safe to say that because of my unique professional experiences, I’ve tested out a lot of headphones.

    Quality.

    Now that I had the headphones on my head, I was finally ready to plug and play some music. I plugged the provided cable into the jack on the headphones and then the one on my iPhone 6. Then I called up Pandora. I tend to have a very eclectic music purview and have many stations set up for different moods. From John Williams to Fallout Boy, the sound quality of these headphones was remarkable. There is an amazing depth of sound and incredible highs and lows that make listening to music a truly breathtaking experience.

    In order to test how voices sounded, and the overall art of sound mixing, I pulled up Netflix on my iPad Air 2 and watched a few minutes of a movie to hear all the nuances of the film. None of them were lost. In fact, I ended up hearing sounds that I hadn’t heard before. Echoes…birds chirping…wind blowing through trees…breathing of the characters…it was very impressive what the headphones ended up bringing out for me.

    I would highly recommend these to any sound mixing specialist.
