The DV200 delegate units incorporate voting buttons, microphone, ChipCard reader and loudspeaker for voice-raising, while the Chairman's unit includes a priority button for remote control of speaking rights. The units are portable and can easily be moved to various locations, depending on the layout of the room.
One of the first major hurdles to be overcome was in the Hall's back wall. For historic reasons, traditional lath and plaster had to be used, the plaster takes literally months to dry. Therefore all the cabling had to be installed a year ago in order for the plaster to dry. Once the plaster dried the cables would be inaccessible, he
Dockerty is still frustrated by drama and music departments' lack of priority regarding the technical skills needed to support a production. He's adamant that it's unfair that young people without the acting, dancing or singing skills still rarely have the opportunities available to explore the performance environment. Adlib is determined to do its bit in the local community (Merseyside and beyond) to ensure that th
The sound, lighting and stage engineering systems were designed and specified by Theatre Projects Consultants, with Bond Communications winning the tender to engineer, supply and install the sound and communications systems.
"As analogue desks go, the XL4 is superb," says Mark Clay from Bond Communications. "It is normally situated in the control room, b
Doyle invited both Taylor and Kirby, with whom he has worked many times in the past, onto the project - and the latter has delivered an intelligent LED solution, which was installed by Ken Morgan of K Morgan Electrical Ltd. "When the Nightclub Company were outlining their idea for the new concept, I told them the only guy they needed to talk to for the lighting was Ian Kirby," declared Doyle. "He wo
With little space to operate behind the black drapes, the company chose to integrate LED lights into the set itself, providing a twinkling night sky via t

The main hall of the Muziekgebouw, which is due to open on 15 June, is an 800-seat auditorium featuring an electrically movable ceiling and rear stage wall, removable ground-level seating, and colour-changing, LED lighting built into its interior walls. All this provides a suitably unpredi
"This is the fourth Cathedral that we have installed Intellivox arrays in. The units were chosen by the design team, which included Northern Ireland based Acoustic Consultant Peter Lloyd, for many reasons," said David Dalzell from DL Electronics. "The system is more intelligible, thanks to Duran Audio's Directivity Control technology, than conventional solutions and it
Following analysis, it was concluded that the only way the hotel could ensure absolute control of the noise within its largest exhibition hall was to install a house PA system. Future calculations for sound isolation within the structure could then be based on a known and predictable system with bui
Sound Division's David Graham explained that the brief was to refurbish and upgrade the existing Bose installation and reconfigure it into a multi-zone system. "Stage one of the project was to replace and zone the upstairs level which comprises three sections; the main lounge bar; an intimate 'Cocoon' bar for 6-8 people which can be hired out on a private basis; and a walkway which connects the two." The system is based on the Bose Freest
The Petit Palau is situated below street level, with audience seating for 538. The room is primarily used for recitals by choirs and chamber ensembles. On either side of the stage three SpekTrix enclosures are installed above a SpekTrix Sub. Power for the installation is via two Lab.Gruppen FP3400 and two FP6400 amplifiers, with two Adamson DX6000s used for processing. The sound system package, supplied by Lambda/2 of Barcelona, offers the possibility to extend the system further using additional enclosures. The contractor for the project was Barcelona-based FM2.

The three-zone system at Cube & Star has been designed to showcase the music from contemporary Latin jazz musicians, brought over from Cuba, and lounge DJ's from across Europe.
"The right music is fundamental in setting the scene when you're having dinner and drinking a Mojito," says Turner, who will present a crossover of genres - from salsa to Brazilian samba and Cuban son, in an Oceans 12-style soundtrack pastiche, delivered from multiplay CD and computer.
Sound Division provided a DJ input point (and customised DJ booth) and used the dbx ZonePro 1261 - a 10 x 6 Digital Zone Processor - to store different gain setting feeds, which are routed to J
In conjunction with audio specialists Delta Sound, Fisher Marine installed thousands of metres of cable - all of which was supplied by UK-based cable company VDC Trading. "These are big ships," says Fisher Marine's head Ken Fisher, "so there was certainly a lot of cable involved."
Van Damme Ecoflex range of Low Smoke Zero Halogen cables is claimed to be particularly suitable for marine installations where low hazard cable infrastructure is re
The white two-storey building is a well-recognized feature of the ground, commanding excellent views of the field of play from the upper and lower balconies. With eight loudspeakers mounted under the canopy on the lower balcony, and four on the upstairs balcony, the sound system has four zones of audio level control, allowing changes to be made for different occasions. There are also two interior Bose speaker systems for low level commentary or background music.
Bose recently signed an agreement to become a Corporate Partner of Guards Polo Club and h
Live music plays a prominent role in the Church's services, and a number of touring Christian music bands perform there, so technical expectations are high. After extensive discussions with Shuttlesound, the Midas distributor in the UK, the Church selected the Legend with 32 mono plus 4 stereo channels, supplied to Modern AV by Autograph Sound.
The Church is based in a large modern building that was previously a warehouse but is now home to one of the New Frontiers group of churches. Its services are held in a large meeting hall on the upper floor with regular congregations of around 900 worshippers.
"The layout of the building didn't provide space for a permanent
The Church enlisted the services of Fort Worth Electro Acoustics & Video consulted where president Chris Jordan comments: "At first, I was pretty certain the church would have to reinstall the acoustical panels to achieve a more desirable reverb time. However, I'd heard about EAW's DSA Series line arrays, which can steer the output directly at the congregation, and away from the troublesome reflective surfaces. This proved to be an elegant and practical solution to the problems at Northway."
Jordan continues, "The DSAs are incredibly compact and unobtrusive for all the sound they put out, but we made them even le
In recent years, live concerts at Webster Hall have been a rarity, with only a handful being promoted by media giant Clear Channel, and the venue's focus has been almost exclusively on dance music. Now, The Bowery Presents (TBP), a local concert promotion company that also owns and handles shows for the Bowery Ballroom and Mercury Lounge, is bringing live music back to the 120-year-old venue.
Designer Matt Kasha's newly-installed sound system comprises twin dV-DOSC/dV-SUB line source arrays hung to the left and right of the Grand Ballroom stage. Each array has a single dV-SUB with 12 dV-DOSC cabinets flown below and three additional dV-SUBs hung at show trim. To augment the syste
Radio public address will provide information and advice during emergencies by voice break-in direct to car radios via FM, MW, LW and DAB channels. The Rotherhithe Tunnel is believed to be the first tunnel in the UK to provide DAB radio rebroadcast with emergency voice break-in. The DAB voice break-in facility ensures future-proofing as digital radio replaces analogue and DAB vehicle radios become standard features.
Under normal circumstances, 21 analogue stations and all available DAB stations (five multiplexes) will be rebroadcast throughout the tunnel. Listeners in the tunnel will not have to take any action: the break-in announcements will simply replace all the normal progr
TMC's hire department had enjoyed a long relationship with the church's events department over the years. The contract sales team were consequently introduced to the project, and invited to work with the client to develop the scheme. It was evident that the existing low pressure sodium lighting, with its familiar yellow hue, was inadequate and TMC were asked to design a concept in which the moods c

The main dance floor at Pure is a rectangular room flanked on two sides by raised VIP platforms. There are eight Turbosound TQ-315 loudspeakers, four TQ-425 dual 15" subwoofers, and two TSW-718 dual 18" subwoofers covering the dance floor. In addition, Turbosound manufactured six custom horn clusters with four drivers each that hang over the dance floor. An additional four TQ-308 loudspeakers cover the VIP platforms. Surrounding the main dance floor are two more TQ-308s, eight TCS-59s and three TQ-115 subwoofers.
