Sound Support, who currently run KV2 Audio ES Systems, used just two VHD 2.0 cabinets flown in full range mode - driven and controlled via two VHD2000 controller amplifiers - to cover the venue with its 1700 delegate teachers. The four day event consisted largely of speeches with some background music - and of course, the obligatory singing of the Red Flag at the final point of the conference.
Sound Support's Dave Lowton, commented: "We had wanted to try out the VHD, and though our ES system would have been adequate, the conference gave us the perfect opportunity. The GMEX is an acoustically hostile environment and the VHD coped brilliantly and enabled us to use such a small system, it was also very quick and easy to rig and fly.
"The delegates were very pleased with the sound as some went out of their way to comment on how clear the speeches were."
