The sound system for the Manchester branch events was provided by ACE PA Ltd, in conjunction with Manchester City Council. ACE used its Allen & Heath ML3000 VCA console to manage sound reinforcement for all the diverse forms of entertainment on display. Other equipment included a 7kW JBL speaker system, Camco PA and monitoring amps, Yamaha SPX990 and 900 effects units and Klark Teknik DN360 graphic equalizers.
ACE PA's Gary Jones commented that, once again, the ML3000 delivered clear and clean sound with the VCA system making the job easy.
