Blitz has risen to meet the challenges posed by designing and implementing a distinctive AV display for the General Motors stand that works within the constraints of the Excel Exhibition Centre environment. Other challenges included the constraints posed by the stand itself and sound level restrictions in the vicinity of the stand.
Blitz has worked with General Motors for over seven years and was selected in February as the preferred supplier of audio-visual equipment and display at this year's Motor Show which returns to London for the first time in thirty years. In order to maximise impact while working within the limitations of the stand environment, Blitz specified and provi
With Ellis Island, the Statue of Liberty and Lower Manhattan as the spectacular backdrop, BMP provided sound and lighting for the big LibertyJAM concert on Sunday 25June, featuring a line-up of artists, including Cheap Trick, George Clinton & Parliament/Funkadelic, Los Lobos, Patti Smith, The Smithereens, Fab Faux, John Eddie and Exit 105. Celebrating the park's historic 30th anniversary, the purpose of the event was to raise funds to benefit The Friends of Liberty State Park, a non-profit volunteer organisation dedicated to preserving and improving the park for free public use.
For concert sound reinforcement, BMP chose to fly a twin pair of 15-box Kudo arrays. "Kudo was perfect for Li
Lyd Partner already has experience of Nexo products, being a supplier of Geo S, Alpha E and Alpha systems. With confidence in the Nexo brand, it was natural that Marius Ryen and his colleagues would turn to Nexo to meet their requirement for a line array system, and their timing coincided with the launch of Nexo's Geo D cabinets. After demos of the loudspeakers at the Spring AES, the deal was sealed by an irresistible offer from PSS/FotoPhono, Nexo's Norwegian distibutors, to purchase a matching 24-box system for its own inventory, thereby increasing the possibilities for Lyd Partner to assemble larger rigs or several smaller ones.

The largest customer is Oslo-based Frontlite, which has chosen 30 Camco Vortex 6 and 14 Camco Vortex 200V amps to power its new Nexo Geo T system. According to Frontlite's head of audio, Stuart Kerrison, the reason for buying so many amps was the extra flexibility he gained from the system.
"In Norway, we cater for audiences ranging from 50 people to 20,000 people, so we need a really versatile system. We want to be able to break up our Geo T system into three smaller systems, or to split it in half with each system being capable of handling a festival for 5,000 people or go

Handling all the RF requirements of Love Island with the S6000 for the second time Plus 4 Audio needed a ground breaking systems solution that would push boundaries and further streamline operations on-site.
The TV show is filmed on a Fijian Island and with the celebrity stars diving in and out of water on a frequent basis, the system needed to be waterproof and able to cope with some testing operating conditions.
Trantec 's head of R&D Richard Ganley collaborated with Plus 4 Audio's Stewart Chaney to ensure that system met his exacting specifications. A powerful 'burner circuit' amplifier was added to a standard S6000 transmitter to boost output to 150mW, both were then packaged in a special
