UK - London-based production company John Henry's Ltd (JHL) has updated its already substantial monitor system inventory with a major purchase of 40 QSC PowerLight PL236 amplifiers. QSC's distributor, Shure Distribution UK, filled the initial order and provided the product in newly commissioned monitor racks. JHL's special projects manager Pepin Clout said: "All our front-of-house amplifiers are QSC, so it made perfect sense to maintain that continuity. That said, we conducted an extensive market evaluation of all available product, which effectively confirmed our decision that QSC amplifiers continue to be our best investment, based on sonic transparency and performance, power-to-weight ratio, and reliability." JHL is active not only in live television broadcasts, but are well-established in the concert touring, corporate, and showcase arenas, which places rigorous demands on their amplifier stock. The amp racks are designed with the flexibility to drive a monitor rig one day and an installation the next.The new PL236 racks barely had time to be checked in before they were sent out for a shooting of the high-profile TV show Later . . . With Jools Holland. The show, which features back-to-back performances on multiple stages, found the amps pressed into service powering a total of 86 floor monitors.
