Director of music, Chris Thompson, returned to Autograph Sales in June 2004 in order to extend his radio mic system. Autograph Sales' Graham Paddon came up with a solution - a custom-built rack unit, to include a Yamaha 01V96 digital mixer, a Tascam CD and cassette recorder and eight Sennheiser 300 G2 radio mics, as well as additional mulitcores. The rack was built by Dauntsey's in-house joinery department, while Autograph Sales was on hand to oversee and complete the installation. The new digital rack now allows all 16 radio microphones to be sub mixed when larger productions are being staged.
Another school promoting the arts, Newton Prep in Battersea, has also received some sound advice from the Autograph Group. Architect David Self, who designed the school's new theatre, wanted a high quality sound system to compliment his plans. He originally approached Lee Dennison, who works for Autograph's rental division, Autograph Sound Recording.
After many hours of working on a sound system specification, Lee turned to Autograph Sales to supply a range of audio equipment including various Meyer Sound cabinets, XTA DP224 crossovers, and an Allen & Heath GL3300 mixing console coupled with a Sennheiser UHF radio microphone system.
