The initial PR White Series speakers comprise d&b T10s and B4s, which make an suitable system for high profile small to medium events, and join PR's extensive d&b audio rental stock.
PR has made the move after recent work in many venues in and around London - including art gallery and exhibition spaces - which are clean, white and airy, lending themselves ideally to the aesthetics of a white audio system. The same is true of marquees and other tensile structures, which are also usually white-based, however the new system looks equally appealing and sounds excellent anywhere with a good design and atmosphere.
Explains PR's MD Ian Coull, "White is cool and contemporary. We are working increasingly on prestige events like fashion shows, corporate networking sessions, brand experientals, cocktail receptions, etc., that are staged in these spaces, where black speakers and stands would just grate against the environment and look completely inappropriate."
Very recently the White speakers were in action for a lavish party aboard a super-yacht moored in Monaco, where they were utilised in the reception area and on the nearby helipad, used to stage a major artist performance. PR also supplied a d&b system for the main party area, with DiGiCo desks used throughout .
In addition to the White d&b investment, PR has just taken delivery of a quantity of channel 38 compliant Sennheiser 2000 Series mics and 2050 in-ear monitor systems, again reflecting an active summer and autumn.
