The new d:facto Vocal Microphone, which was supplied with a handle and an adapter to fit the concert hall's Shure wireless system, is proving so popular with visiting singers that Stormen is hoping to add more in the near future.
Located in the Norwegian town of Bod°, Stormen Concert Hall was designed by British architects DRDH and officially opened in November 2014. It replaces an older venue that was only ever intended as a temporary solution, although it actually stood for 23 years before the new building was commissioned. The concert hall has three different auditoria - a main hall with 940 seats, a small hall with 240 seats a
First of all, 84 of Powersoft's K10 amplifiers occupied prime position in Cleveland during a whirlwind four-day event which saw Donald Trump formally capture the Republican party presidential nomination.
A little more than a week later, and across the country in Philadelphia, Hillary Clinton accepted the Democratic party's nomination to run for President and again Powersoft was on hand to amplify proceedings in front of 4,700 delegates, who cast their ballots at the Democratic National Convention. This time 104 K10's were deployed.
These events marked the start of the U.S. general election, and for such historically and legally significant events, audio intelligibility was the paramount technic
More than 50,000 visitors attended the event, which is staged every summer against the backdrop of the town's historic church. For the third consecutive year, AV requirements were managed by Light-house G
"The reason we decided to add more Adamson loudspeakers to our rental inventory is that we have found that world-wide marketplace acceptance and demand for the E-Series continues to grow," explains Jack Boessneck, executive vice president Eighth Day Sound. "It seems that every engineer that uses the system becomes an instant fan."
Eighth Day Sound became an E-Series partner in 2013 as one of the first sound companies in the States to join the Adamson network. The company added substantially to their inventory during the summer of 2015. This most recent purchase includes S-Se
Mounted snugly in niches flanking the altar, the custom colour-matched CAL 96 loudspeakers virtually disappear within 19th century Italian Renaissance Revival architecture of Mother of God Catholic Church in Covington, Kentucky providing a boost to the sound quality for the contemporary music.

Kuching's Sarawak Stadium was host to 45,000 attendees for a captivating show delivered by 3,000 performers, and was broadcast live on Malaysia's TV1 on 23 July 2016.
The ceremony introduced performances by Miss World Malaysia 2014 Dewi Liana Seriestha and the Ministry of Social Development and Urbanisation (KPSU) cultural singers.

Splendit, the largest Turbosound rental company in the Benelux region was commissioned to ensure consistent and controlled coverage of sound, on and off the site.
Noise control is a critical factor for the city's 10-day long festival which takes place in and around Ghent's residential areas. Marijn Broeckaert of Splendit explains, "The Turbosound Flex Array was chosen especially for its 75 degrees dispersion. It is able to deliver such clear, directed sound to festival-goers without impacting areas out with the immediate festival."
The dispersion, sound quality and power out of a box with this small footprint were the main reasons Dirk Brysbaert, soun
Located in Riddarholmen, the Brick Romanesque structure is an example of a late 1800s institution building, and one of the few remaining in Europe. Now repurposed to offer tours as well as an array of party, event and conference spaces, Gamla Riksarkivet lives on after its official closure as an archive in 1968.
Originally without electricity, the building incorporated vast windows into its design in order to allow natural light to flood in during the day. Such was its importance, the building was built on a base of cast iron to increase fire safety, with cast-iron column supports, iron book
The event - celebrating the Fudge Professional Core Collective - was staged in Studio 12 of the Old Granada Studios in the city which offered up a totally bare space, so everything - staging, set, lighting, sound and video - had to be built and installed from scratch to realise the Fudge team's original concept.
CPL's crew was led by Mike Radford, who commented, "The vibe of the event was energetic and lively, Fudge is a leading brand known for its alternative and 'out-of-the-box' approach to hair styling, so everything we were doing on the technical front had to help create this impression."

For the fourth year running it was Britannia Row Productions that supplied all four stages: the main bowl arena with delays and also the three tent stages - the circuitGROUND, the cosmicMEADOW and the neonGARDEN. Each stage was rigged with an L-Acoustics loudspeaker system, predominantly K1s on the main stage with K2s being the main component at the circuitGROUND, the cosmicMEADOW and the neonGARDEN.
For project manager Lez Dwight and his crew this year's game-changer proved to be the presence of the new L-Acoustic KS28 Subs and LA12X amplifiers that graced the main stage.
Officially unveiled and delivered for use in May, this was a significant enough opportunity for L-Acoustics application engineer, Dan Orton to visit
Supplied by Wigwam (one of Audio-Technica's network of dLive specialist resellers), the dLive system was chosen both for its feature set and usability, as Mainline's Rob Lorton explains: "We were early adopters of Allen & Heath's iLive T series, recognising its power and features were unbeatable for the price at that time. Clearly, dLive has been built and developed from those principles - it's a great mixing system with a top sound and flexibility. Again, this s

The fast growing boutique event, which began as a birthday barbecue for founder Alex Trenchard in 2001 before becoming a single-stage, one-day live music event in 2004, has since grown exponentially. Today it occupies the picturesque Standon Lordship site, where Suede, Kelis and Jess Glynne were the main stage headliners.
Dominating the landscape, the vibrant red and white canvas of the Big Top, which was largely used for electronic dance and other diverse acts, could be seen for miles around. Here the line-up included Goldie MBE, Greg Wilson, Theo Parrish, Joey Negro, as well as rising talent Gold Panda, Luke Abbott the Mercury Prize nominated Ghostpoet.
