In just three short years since the launch of the award-winning Heritage 3000 it has become the industry standard for concert touring and the backbone of console stocks for rental companies all over the world. Its status as the premier console of choice for this market, particularly in partnership with the flagship XL4, is further underlined by the fact that eight out of ten of the top-grossing tours to come out of the US used Heritage 3000s or XL4 or both. According to Midas' head of sales, David Cooper, the Heritage 3000 is a perfect example of a manufacturer responding to customer demands and coming up with exactly the right product. "Our customers needed a console that could handle itself both on stage or
After listening to GEO at a demo hosted by Nexo distributor Iemke Roos, Paul Achterberg knew he had found what he was looking for. "The sonic performance of GEO is very, very good, but the coverage throughout the soundfield and the phase coherency of the system is, in my opinion, simply outstanding," said Achterberg, who placed an or
Anders Christensen, CEO of D-PAC Audio, explains: "We have recently bought a production facility in order to manufacture up to 25,000 modules each year, and as we only expect to use a few thousand on a yearly basis, we see the idea in obtaining extra volume by offering our outstanding modules as OEM."
"Several tests have proven our modules to be more powerful, more quiet and better sounding than everything else we have tried and heard," says Christensen. "In order to give potential customers a try, we have made an evaluation kit with well-des
This major new functionality means that the elements in schematic designs stay connected as you move them within the document. So, if you wish to change the look of your block schematic and move products, either by dragging the selected symbols to their new position, or by nudging them with the arrow keys, the connections follow automatically. Furthermore, Rubber-Banding operates independently of Modifiers (Snap to Grid, Snap to Object, etc.).
This is an extremely important development, says Stardraw’s marketing director, Rob Robinson: "Rubber-Banding has been at the top of our ‘Most Wanted’ list for some time,
"We buy most, if not all, our custom cable from VDC," explains Tim Vine-Lott, Air's technical manager. "With anyone else, we'd have to specify pin outs for each end of the cable, but we never have to do that with VDC."
VDC provided "a vast amount of cable" to Air earlier in the year, supplying additional cable system for Lyndhurst's famous Great Hall studio and its new Neve 88R mixing console, one of only three to be installed in the UK.

As with all modern festivals, there are a variety of performance and presentation venues, the two largest, the main stage and the tent (a four king-pole circus tent supplied by Albion Woods) both sport large d&b audiotechnik C4/C7 PA systems, while the 25 other smaller venues catering for audiences of between 50 and 1,000 people use a variety of sound systems, generally d&b or Ohm Industries equipment. "We spent a lot of time looking at sound systems for the smaller venues," said Fernihough. "Because of the six week running ti
Canegreen's Yan Stile was very focused on what was required from the system: "As opposed to the American arena tour market, touring in Europe often involves venues with differing problems when flying or ground-stacking the sound system." He added: "We used the KF760s in all types of venue, some of them not normally applicable for line arrays. But throughout we were pleasantly surprised with the results, even in venues where there were no fly points and ground space was limited. The cove
Lots will include Strand Prelude and Cantata spotlights, Par cans, Tempus Dimmer racks, flight cases, cables, disco consoles and a wide range of effects equipment. Patrick Behan, who has organized previous successful Stage Electrics Auctions, told us: "This year it has been difficult to keep the lots to 1000 as we have acquired a considerable amount of new and second-hand kit from our Newcastle branch (ex Lighting Technology). There should be loads of bargains and the usual chance to meet up with a few mates from the industry."

According to Simon, as a complete package GEO was "a joy to work with." He explained that the main issues of the event were to do with sight lines. "As a major televised show for the television industry it was crucial that we have a physically tiny system so that it did not interfere with sight lines either for the audience, or more importantly for the many cameras filming the show. GEO was fantastic in this respect. We had the two hangs positioned quite wide behind the lecter

The installation was completed by audio specialists, Georg Vanek and Frank Bocksteiner / Ton&Technik, who chose EVO because of its functionality and ease of use. Aside from audio quality, another factor in the decision to choose EVO was its compact and elegant design and ability to be mounted horizontally, allowing for speaker placement below the ceiling line. Vanek, pleased with the installation, stated: "It sounds very g

He commands great industry respect and we are delighted to keep Wlodek/Soundbits as an important consultant.
