"When we were first approached to supply the facilities for The F-Word, we were asked to meet a very precise specification by sound supervisor Rob Ashard," says Picture Canning's senior sound engineer Mike Horn. "We required a mixing desk with lots of features but a small footprint, as the audio facilities for the show were squeezed into a very small room above the studio/restaurant. The Verona fitted the bill perfectly
The CX10 has been designed in response to specific demands from the market for an audio priority unit that enables multi-source audio systems to interface with fire alarms.

Simon Sinclair, Tannoy's sales director, commented: "The direct relationships we have established within the commercial and residential audio sector in Germany have proved beneficial to our dealers; giving us a better understanding of our dealer's requirements and allowing us to offer them improved levels of service and communication.

The main sound contractor, Artco Music Co, worked jointly with Jolly Pro Audio's Andy Leung to specify a system comprised of PAS speakers, Yamaha console and a TiMax ImageMaker16 audio imaging system. The console feeds multiple microphone groups and sound effects components to the eight i
The show's requirements and location - a 'real' restaurant with lots of reflective surfaces and no acoustic treatment - created quite a challenge for Picture Canning's audio department."Clients today all need very discreet if not invisible microphones," says Picture Canning's senior sound engineer Mike Horn, who turned to the DPA miniatures after testing various mics on the market. "The white version was perfect as it could easily be hidden on Gordon Ramsey's chef's uniform."
Rob Ashard, the show's sound supervisor was so pleased with the results and sonic quality that he requested all lavalier mics on The F-Word should be ch
While BMR's low frequency performance is equivalent to conventional drive units of the same size, the high frequency range is extended with the wide directivity characteristic of all NXT technologies. Increasing the bandwidth in this way means that the number of drivers required to cover a given frequency range can be
At the Conference, Hopkins shared some of his ideas on training issues for the ISCE with Tony Jones, president of the IOA and Bob Walker, the chairman of the IOA Electroacoustics group.

At a time when regulations and standards are an issue over so many disciplines, institutes wo
Venue's D-Show mixing console, manned by sound engineer Enrico Belli, was installed in the broadcast audio control room and used to mix the sound for the show's guest stage. Belli, who mixed broadcast sound for Santana, The Eurythmics and Italian headliners Subsonica and Negrita, received 96 input channels from an active splitter in the studio and, in addition to the on-air sound feed, sent four stereo pre-mixes to the studio's FOH desk, manned by Massimo Mannunzo.

With nearly 250 professions available in over 60 venues, designing an authentic and fully integrated AV system was critical to 'keeping it real'. Wannado contracted Richard Wagner, principal with Integrated Electronics, to design and install the complete audio / video system.Wagner explained: "This was a gargantuan undertaking from both a strategic and technical perspective. Each venue has a combination of its own music and sound effects. It's highly interactive, and timing is critical between the venues.&
Contracted to ensure that sound reinforcement throughout was truly 'out of this world' were Newcastle-based pro audio specialists, Q Music (Northern) Ltd, with Q's Ray 'Scotty' Scott beaming up to take overall control of the Space install as project manager.
The relaxed and trendy cafe-style Reception (ground) Floor is suited to semi-formal meetings, with a mix of sofas and bistro seating. To provide an even level of sound, Scott placed 10 IL42TW transformer-equipped 100V line HK Audio Installation Line cabinets at strategic points around the area.

One of the key problems for the sound engineers was how to reproduce live the dry, yet extremely powerful bass lines for which Missy Elliot's CDs are known. The production firm, Pieee Rental, led by Hans van der Wiel solved the problem - assisted by a team from Electric Audio BV - with a diverse Electro-Voice sound system, a Midas Heritage console and Klark-Teknik processors (four DN9848s and eight DN360/370s). The ability to combine EV's XLC and X-Array components allowed Pieee Rental to implement a sound design that fitted the Heineken Music Hall "like a glove".

Britain's best-selling homegrown reggae band, UB40 is running a high-technology show for this tour. FOH engineer Tom Wiggans is mixing on a DiGiCo D5, and all musicians using in-ear monitoring. And the PA is a Nexo GEO T system, typically configured in a L/C/R design, with 20+3 box arrays left and right, and a 5-cabinet centre cluster.
System tech Adam Scott completes the description. "The smaller venues might only require 14 of the T4805 cabinets, plus three downfill boxes, but for the arenas, we are using everything in
The Denon DNS3500 direct drive players support both the Denon and Pioneer cueing methods - and it was this, coupled with the advanced featureset, that appealed to the dance brand. David Atkinson, marketing and communications manager of D&M Professional Europe (Denon's parent company) commented: "We are delighted to be associated with such a progressive dance organisation as Gatecrasher. It is gratifying that the unique features of the DN-S3500 are being recognised - as is evidenced by the initial response we have received from the market in general.&qu
Luminar Leisure had owned the 1000-capacity Grade 1-listed theatre, with its 11-metre proscenium arch, for three years before deciding to develop it into a Jamhouse at a cost of £1.5m. But the conversion provided a major challenge for Ivor Green's sound installation team, led by Martin Tasker. "This is a large space, with a void above the proscenium, an 84-cover restaurant on the balcony and a larg
Kirkwood has been the soul sensation's FOH engineer since she shot to fame two years ago. A sound engineer for over three decades, Kirkwood has worked with many top artists including Deep Purple, the Rolling Stones, Stevie Wonder and Motley Crue. Midas has been his console of choice since he first encountered them in the mid-seventies.
"Midas is always at the top of my list of specifications," he says. "The preamps in the Midas are so superior to anything else. Her band is a traditional r&b outfit of bass, guitars and drums with some keyboards and backing vocals, and with the Heritage I can get great separation between the different element
At the heart of the system, and by special request of Cabrel's long-time FoH engineer, Ludovic Lanen, was an Sy80 digital mixing console from InnovaSON. Lanen first came across InnovaSON at the "Jazz a Vienne" festival during the summer. Intrigued by the concept and capabilities of InnovaSON consoles, he opted for an Sy48 for Cabrel's mini-tour of cultural centres in his native r
Varey opted for a Martin Audio solution. "Given the variety of the entertainment - from Urban and Bhangra nights to comedy, cabaret and cheesey disco, Martin's Blackline range provided the flexibility I needed," said Varey.
The refit included a raised stage area, with DJ plug-in points and extra mic feeds. Varey re-orientated four Martin Audio new AQ215 (2 x 15) subs in the horizontal access, and recessed them under the stage to create additional rumble. The PA system wa

As with other Lyceum venues, quality music forms the essence and the backdrop of much of the entertainment. The main bar uses eight Tannoy V8 loudspeakers and two VS15BP subwoofers whilst the Kitchen Club to the rear of the main bar provides music at typically a lower level and is driven by six Tannoy i8AW loudspeakers.
