As part of a major refurbishment a new studio complex 'Lower Close Studios' has been constructed to cater for the College's expanding and diverse courses, including contemporary classical/art music, jazz, pop, world and folk music, as well as courses in theatre, choreography, fine art, performance art, arts and cultural management and writing, engaging the students through practical work and research by developing interests and abilities in preparation for a professional career.
Rob Waite, live sound technician comments: "We have regular concerts, visiting artists, residencies, and more than thirty professional instrumental music tutors who come to teach, perform, and play music. The new studios will enable us to provide improved facilities for everyone, and it was essential that we installed the best possible audio system. To this end we listened to many different systems before deciding on L-Acoustics and the response from students, staff, and visiting musicians and technicians has completely validated our choice. Everyone has commented on the much improved audio quality, and we hope to increase our inventory over the coming years."
Paul Nicholson L-Acoustics UK sales manager adds: "Utilizing elements from our MTD point source coaxial range we were able to provide seamless coverage throughout the entire main studio including the mezzanine with just two MTD112b. The system, which was supplied by The Warehouse Edinburgh, also included a pair of SB118 subs, four further MTD112b for stage monitoring, and LLC system controllers, all powered by LA amplifiers. Once again our simple and extremely cost effective solution has given an important UK specialist College a world class loudspeaker system."
