Released for the Entech show was the Zone Mix 3, a simple but full-featured three-zone stereo matrix mixer, packed into one Unit of rackspace. Remote volume stations and paging mic are all connected via Cat 5 cable for simple installation.
The range extends from ceiling speakers to 15" two-way enclosures - constructed from both plastic and plywood, a range of sub-bass units and the company's proprietary processor technology. Vieta launched three ranges of loudspeaker products. Firstly, the VT series - a three bass-reflex, two-way passive loudspeaker featuring a 1" HF driver with a neodymium driver and an LF driver in 8",12" and 15" formats. Secondly is the VI series, comprising five passive speakers designed for accurate sound reproduction in various types of acou
The latest addition to Camco's mid-range Tecton Series is the Tecton 36:2, which produces 2 x 1800W at 2 ohms at full duty cycle. Targeted at the sound contractor and rental company market, it delivers the same performance characteristics as the Vortex range, say Camco, but in a more accessible price bracket. All Tecton amplifiers are compact and light, weighing just 10kg in a 2U ch
Among the many improvements made to the theatre is an enlarged orchestra pit, enabling large-scale opera, ballet and musicals to visit the Empire for the first time in its history. When the Empire's owners wanted to bring the theatre's technical aspects up to date they called on A.C.'s Audio division to supply a state of the art live sound-mixing console. The brief was to prov
To fulfil the varied acoustic challenges of the different venues and get efficient sound coverage to the whole audience, Canegreen selected its Meyer Milo line array speaker system for the tour, for two main reasons. Firstly, the orchestral/acoustic nature of the band would benefit the system's frequency range and ability to recreate the sound with minimal colouration and distortion, and secondly, the dispersion characteristics of the cabinets meant it was a very adaptable s

The former directors of hires - Andy Dockerty, Dave Kay and Mark Roberts - will now be working alongside the two previous directors of sales - Ken Dockerty and Dave Fletcher. All other elements of the company, names and faces remain the same. This new streamlined Adlib Ltd format will continue to trade across its three main areas of operation - rental, design/manufacture and sales.
The move was also partially stimulated by the massive recent increase in activity for Adlib's sales and installation divisions, allowing more resources and personnel to be at the disposal of those departments.Andy Dockerty says: "With major

Mayday consisted of three separate dance zones in the Westfalenhallen, a multi-purpose indoor events centre. The largest was held in the 13,000-capacity indoor cycle racetrack, while two smaller areas accommodated around 5,000 people each. The Cohedra system was rigged in Area 3, which hosted a plethora of German DJs as well as Detroit techno legend Jeff Mills and Norwegian musician/production team Röyksopp. HK Audio's Jorg Knieschewski, who spent more than two years conducting the acoustic engineering for Cohedra, configured the system into four identic

While in Havant, he worked on audio design for the Queen's Bentley as well as the Bentley GT Continental, Skoda Octavia, Audi TT, Volkswagen Beetle Convertible - and many more. "It will be good to apply some of the experience I have gained through the very precise science of the automotive industry," he said. "I can see a great synergy between what I have learnt designing systems for Bentley and Audi and what I will be doing at Martin Audio.&quo

As four of the most exciting new multi-million pound new build projects ever seen in Wales, Millbank's CEO Neil Voce and Chubb's customer accounts manager, Scott Philips, worked closely to ensure that each system achieves their exacting specifications.
Scott Phillips explained: "Millbank's support has been invaluable and played a vital role in winning these prestigious contracts. It's terrific to work with a forward-thinking company whose product range and technical know-how enables us to provide such versatile and cutting-edge sy
Although the main club system comprises Funktion One's Dance Stacks and Resolution systems, Kelco owner David Kelland saw EM Acoustics products as the ideal solution for DJ monitoring and infills at the venue. Consequently, each DJ area contains a pair of EMS-121 (12" x 1") full-range enclosures, innovatively mounted on poles built into the DJ console and wired through the pole-mount for security. The club's stylish VIP area contains four EMS-81 (8" x 1") full-range enclosures, discreetly mounted around the neon-lit two-level ceiling, using the enclosure's own internal M10 rigging points.

The Darwin Centre live events bring resident experts and specialists from around the world to talk about their work or explore significant specimens from the Museum's collections. The free events, which are also webcast on the Museum's website, are informal and lively with audience participation encouraged. However, the Museum found that the audio system was unable to cope with the demands resulting from live situations and selected Allen & Heath's iDR DSP system to replace it.
"The original audio equipment, designed before the Darwin Centre opened in 2002, was unable to separate microphones indi

JPS has specified 22 wall-mounted, co-axial design, Wharfedale Pro Twin 12s as the main sound reinforcement system, evenly distributed throughout the 500-capacity venue. Two of the bass reflex enclosures have been deployed as reference monitors in the DJ booth (where the new Denon DN-S3000 tabletop CD player and Allen & Heath Xone:62 mixer provide the source material), and a further Twin 12 greets guests as they arrive at the front door.

Now that the number of participating nations has increased by around 50%, the Turkish television company TRT held a semi-final round ahead of the actual show on May 15. Sennheiser technology promised perfect sound for both events - even under the difficult radio transmission conditions at the venue.
Wednesday 12 May was the first opportunity for 22 competing nations to show just what they have to offer in the field of popular music, and TRT broadcast the semi-final round live on TV. The 10 best songs then proceeded to the final on the follo
At the initial technical rehearsal, using the standard Imax Sound system, the client informed South West Audio that they wanted the sound louder, to the point of being almost uncomfortable, but without hotspots and without flying, and with a set-up time of only two hours. Mike Taylor, production manager for South West Audio, explained their solution: "With a clear brief from the client, and with limited time, we decided to put in the active D.A.S. line array system. The system was set-up easily by only two people within the time allowed and, as soon as we powered up, it was clear that th
One of the current trends in commercial installations is the requirement for more power. The MXA Series mixer/amplifiers deliver on that promise having been built on the bedrock of the CMA Series, but offering improvement with four more powerful models: 35W, 75W, 150W, or 300W power amplification, each in a 2 RU space. Each model in the series provides a six-input mic/line mixer with an integral power amplifier, including an output transformer for delivering rated power into direct or distribute
The added functionality includes improved support for hardware controllers. New in Cubase SL, Cubase SX and Nuendo 2.2 is support for the Mackie Control Universal Extender units, in addition to the current support for the main Mackie Control unit. Multiple Extender units can be added to a Mackie Control to offer direct access to channels in Cubase SX, Cubase SL and Nuendo. The Generic Remote area of all three applications has also seen an overhaul, with control for a full set of functions now implemented in
"We view this as a highly significant appointment for Midas and Klark Teknik," commented Midas and KT's director of sales and marketing, David Cooper.
