CP Sound's Colin Pattenden first troubleshot the venue. He sampled it at several times of the day, including extensively during peak capacity, and then came up with the new sound design for the background music system which features a wide variety of musical styles and genres!
He decided to add new JBL Control 28 speakers across four zones, plus additional bass bins under the seating. The Control 28's were chosen for acoustics, size, reliability and cost-e

Dexter has been writing steadily in American industry magazines since early 2000. "I wrote an article early on called 'Is there Life After Rock'n'Roll Touring?'" says Dexter. "After touring, going out into the real world with rock'n'roll attitude was a huge shock. I need freakin' therapy now and I've discovered that I'm not the only one."
McNeny and Dexter met on Ozzy Osbourne's 'Diary of a Madman' Tour in 1981-82. McNeny was the tour manager, as he had been for the BeeGees and Eric Clapton, and Dexter was Ozzy's l

Kelco managing director David Kelland commented: "I obviously can't comment on any other aspect of the club, but I can guarantee that the sound system that we have designed and installed is as good as it gets. There is no way that words and specifications alone will be able to do justice to the systems; it really is something that has to be experienced to appreciate what has been achieved."

Version 3.4 has custom serial port settings and strings, which allow the iDR system to communicate with a wide variety of third party equipment, such as CD and DVD players, software programs, and alarm and lighting systems.
The new software also allows more PL remote control devices to be connected and uses chain/star configurations, which reduce the need for extensive wiring. The number of automated, programmable presets has been increased to 250
"In terms of the way we have been restructuring the company in recent months, this is a move that makes complete sense," affirmed Wiggins. "As technology continues to develop apace, so the interaction between the two brands becomes increasingly important. We are already seeing this at a product and therefore R&D level; for example the ability to link any Heritage or Legend console to Helix via the auto-solo function to name but one example. It therefore follows that the same strategy should be reflected in sales

The original vintage tube 49 microphone is still the gold standard in studios around the world, due to its incredible flexibility in any application from distant orchestral recordings requiring a neutral sound quality to close up micing where the tailored proximity effect is well known and valued for achieving big vocal sounds.
Like the original, the Soundelux E49 is a remote variable pattern tube mic that uses Soundelux' KK47 large diaphragm capsule and a unique head grille design that replicates the original's acoustic and mechanical sonic signatures. A specially designed Soundelux SteadyState(r) fixed-bias type tube amplifier (similar to the original) is used but has lower no

SSE's John Penn comments: "We have a hugely busy summer season in front of us, and we needed more consoles. We were going to invest in more Heritage 3000s, but when the Heritage 4000 came out, it made more sense for us to invest in a desk that has even more facilities and the extra capacity to handle heavy-duty monitor applications, but can still go out in the place of a Heritage 3000 if necessary. And of course, it's a Midas, and Midas has proved since time immemorial
Originally a variety house designed by the renowned architect Frank Matcham, the Coliseum has been home to the English National Opera since 1968. This restoration is the first major programme of repair since it opened in 1904: the venue has undergone several face-lifts in the past, some of which have eradicated many of the theatre's beautiful original features.
