UK - The London School of Economics, one of the hotbeds of student radicalism in the 1960's, has recently revamped its three student entertainment spaces and QSC's AcousticDesign sound systems are prominently featured throughout the new venues.

Following a similar project at nearby Kings College, London's Clarity in Sound, Light and Vision has performed a major redesign on two of the three spaces: The Three Tuns, a 400-capacity traditional bar, and the 300-capacity Underground live music venue. Combined with a third venue, the Quad, the LSE can now provide entertainment for up to 1300 and route the signals from the live venues to patrons at the bar.

Clarity director Stuart Graham opted for a complete QSC-based system to meet the multi-purpose live and background music needs of the Three Tuns. Featuring a pair of AcousticDesign AD-S82 full-range enclosures, augmented by six AD-S52 cabinets for infill sound, the system is powered by QSC's RMX1850 and RMX850 amplifiers. Additional RMX Series amps power the Underground system as well.

"We wanted a good sounding, versatile system that could run night after night and provide even coverage throughout," remarked Graham. "The AD-S82's are a particularly good fit with the limited ceiling height above the stage at the Three Tuns."

Local distributor, Shure Distribution UK, which also provided a Shure DFR-11 digital feedback limiter, supplied all QSC components.
