Set in the rural Berkshire countryside, Wokefield Park offers a variety of meeting options for business and social events in its spacious, ultra-modern, purpose-built Executive Centre. For conferences, Christmas parties and gala dinners, the main function room can accommodate up to 550 seated, but has designed in extra flexibility using room dividers and a switchable PA system.
AV contractor Show State and its supplier Concept Audio have equipped the Executive Suite with eight EV ZX1-i/90 full-range loudspeaker cabinets in white, wall-mounted at intervals down either side of the large space. Supplemented by 2x EVID 12.1 subs, the system is powered by EV CPS amplifiers, running the IRIS-Net platform for system management.
Show State has installed bespoke input plates around the room, allowing the technicians' position to be set up in any one of several locations. A bespoke selector switch in the amp room allows the EV system to be switched into a two-room configuration. Using a sliding partition, the space can be split into two discrete meeting rooms, accommodating 300 and 100 people respectively. All processing for the different configurations is handled by two EV DC One signal processors.
