UK - Surrey-based PA company Plus 4 Audio was once again asked to provide the live audio for the Royal Variety Performance. Coming from the Wales Millennium Centre in Cardiff, the show had some interesting coverage problems to resolve and Plus 4 director Stewart Chaney chose an L-Acoustics KUDO system as his first line of attack.

"The KUDO is great for this type of venue," said Chaney, "not only did we get the usual advantages of a DOSC system in both throw and colouration control, we were also able to minimize wall reflections using a combination of the horizontal 'K-Louver' baffles and an accurate Soundvision 3D plot courtesy of L-Acoustics UK. With the addition of a small dV-DOSC front-fill system and some dV-SUB and SB118 subwoofers, the results were excellent."

In the presence of the Queen and the Duke of Edinburg, the 77th Royal Variety Performance was presented by Michael Parkinson and Sharon Osbourne and the performers included Dame Shirley Bassey, Will Young, McFly, Charlotte Church, Il Divo, Ozzy Osbourne, Sir Cliff Richard, comedians Joe Pasquale, Catherine Tate, Dave Spikey and Alan Carr, theatrical artists Blue Man Group, the cast of Guys and Dolls, and tenors Bryn Terfel and Andrea Bocelli.
