The DBlux team had their work cut out: they were tasked to provide the ideal sound system, not only for the highly varied programme of musical events, but also to ensure high quality intelligibility for the announcements, speeches of welcome and any urgent messages that might need to be conveyed. After consultation with Ascon, the DBlux technicians opted for a mixture of Dynacord Cobra-4, Electro-Voice X-Array, Delta-Max and RX-sy

Following the launch of the new Peterborough-based National Centre for Deafblindness, CIE-Group (UK representatives for leading brands such as Inter-M, Armstrong i-ceilings, Switchcraft, EverFocus, Chauvet Lighting, IC Audio and Euromet) were approached to enhance the sound reinforcement system for the Centre's in-house conferencing facilities, with the additional requirements of improved voice clarity for the hearing impaired and SPLs capable of producing vibrations which would allow deafblind users to 'feel the sound' in music appreciation sessions.
Through specialist disability services provider 'DDA Installations', CIE-Group donated a multi-zone combined vo

Other factors were cost effectiveness and build quality, and also Lighting Technology's recommendation after using them on numerous other projects. Terry Reeves explains, "The ColorBlast 12 gave the right quality of light output and is also easily controllable." From the initial design brief, LTP worked with Into Lighting, creating several different solutions in a mock-up scenario.

The Design Architects for the new facility was Hodgetts + Fung Design Associates, with Gruen Associates acting as project architect for the main client and owner, Los Angeles County.

Over 1,000 people enjoyed the event during an evening of entertainment hosted by Radio 2's Jeremy Vine and Sir Steve Redgrave - an official 'send-off' party to wish the GB Olympic team success at the upcoming Athens Olympics. Leeds and London-based Logistik were called in to oversee the event's creative and technical production including the design, graphics, dressing and venue themeing for the event.
The night culminated in live performances by international artists including Gabrielle, Mike & The Mechanics and Amy Winehouse. It was recorded for broadcast by Radio 2, and a post-event DVD will be produced by Logistik Vision, the company's
The fixture will be mainly used in retail, exhibition and conference environments. An MCM (metal cold mirror) version boasts heat emission to the back of the fixture of approximately 90%, making the fixture suitable also for more sensitive environments such as art exhibitions, etc. With interchangeable front lenses and different colour filters, the possibilities for use are almost endless, say Major.

And so they suggested Davidson talk to Paul Marston at Black Box London, the largest independent stockist of Cerwin Vega! Intense Series PA systems. He, in turn, alerted them to the imminent arrival in the UK of the new Vision series. Cerwin Vega! is distributed in the UK by Lamba plc but what Davidson hadn't realized is that Lamba also handle the Stanton product range (including Final Scratch).
What he has ended up with is a ra
The first part of the day - the AGM - was opened by chairman Diane Grant, who welcomed members before handing over to vice-chairman Andrew Bishop to present the final accounts for 2003. He highlighted the Association's pre-tax profit of £45,249, despite difficult trading conditions, and covered some of the key investments of the preceding 12 months, including those in member services, training, technical resources and market research. He also addressed the issue of the Association's reserves, informing members of the committee's determination to ensure that there would be investment in
A clear-walled marquee located in the beautiful grounds of the Manor housed the party guests for their meal and entertainment, which included Lionel Ritchie. Pearce Hire was contracted to provide the power distribution across the site and outdoor lighting to accentuate the manor gardens. The Pearce Hire team of five technicians arrived on site four days prior to the event to set up: a no-cars

With 10 EV Xvls high-output cabinets and 10 X-subs per side, Marsh admitted that he was glad that Korn had their own sound engineer to mix the show. "That kind of level hurts," he said.
Major Tom has also been using X-Line at the Belfast Odyssey Arena, where the annual indoor festival is being headlined by the legendary Bob Dylan. Marsh has set up a very different s
Chris Pegg of Westbury National Show Systems, who served as the show's lighting designer, specified the system. "I'd seen the tiles in London last year and I thought they were the coolest thing in the universe," he says. "The creative director was looking for somethingthat had a mirror-bally type of feel-but that was updated and maybe a little modernized. The design already had a video element, but since the tiles are where lighting meets video, it really all fit together.
As system manufacturers, HIQ partners Mark Hudson and Tony Hopkinson are discerning audiophiles, and they did not take the decision to specify Wharfedale's Programme 50Ts and Class AB MP1800 amplifiers lightly.
Said Hudson: "The existing system was awful and so I worked alongside the proprietor (Frank Graves) to redesign the sound. It was singularly pointless building our own loudspeakers for the background areas when the Programme 50s are so well turned-out and sensibly priced. Overall, they are nicely finished and very satisfying. "They provided the perfect solution for delivering th
Most recently, Promedia used their capable KF730 rig at a star-studded birthday celebration for pop music icon, Lou Pearlman. Pearlman is most notable for launching such acts as Backstreet Boys and N*Sync. For this event, the system consisted of 12 KF730 full-range boxes with eight SB730s providing the low-end. The party featured various performances by many of Pearlman's up-and
G-LEC's sales director Christoph Müssener explained: "Florian approached us with a rather unusual request. He was looking for a way to make the LED screens flexible in order to curve and bend them over several levels of the stage. While doing this it was also vital that the LED solution guaranteed transparency too."
G-LEC realized that the way to create a system which would work to Wieder's designs was to devise a frameless installation, so provided 1080 ClassicTubes, all mounted individually, to create a series of curves and waves across the set. Müssener continued: "Turning Florian's ideas into a reality wo
Situated in front of the ocean, the park has been custom-built to provide Europe with one of its most beautiful skateboarding venues. Now in its fifth year, the event again attracted the international hardcore skateboard elite including Omar Hassan, Alex Chalmers, Rune Glifberg, Tony Trujillo and Chet Childress (Californian Hassan once again picking up the 9,000 top prize).

Now in its third year, the nationwide tour is championed by pop punk outfit, Goodnight Nurse, who will visit 95 secondary schools over a period of 19 weeks. The band performs a lunchtime concert at each school, followed by a two-hour music clinic, providing students with an opportunity to meet the band and learn about the music industry and live performance. Jansen selected Allen & Heath's portable PA28 stereo live mixer for the tour, which features an internal FX unit and an optimized four-band parametric output EQ. The mixer is complimented by Proel TFL series speakers with fold back from Phonic powered speak
