Sound Division's David Graham explained that the V-Bar is a new piano bar that is attached to the main restaurant. "It's a very picturesque setting so they wanted to make the most of it with a proper professional set-up." To this end, Sound Division supplied and installed a pair of Martin Audio Blackline F10 2-way passive loudspeaker systems on stands, a Soundcraft Foli

The Kölcsey Centre includes three buildings, a Congress Centre, a Hotel and a Museum. The Congress Centre, in which Interton designed and installed all of the sound and video systems, contains a large auditorium with seating for 1,100 people, a ballroom, eight partitioned rooms and a multifunctional ballroom / exhibition space as well as a small AV studio and an impressive entrance foyer.

Reason is well known for designing light features into her innovative architectural and interior schemes, and recently incorporated other Element Labs products into high profile installations at the Hard Rock Café venues in London and Barcelona and for casinos in Leicester and London. Reason had wanted to use VersaPixels ever since she was inspired by watching a 'product in action' video of the massive O2 exhibition stand at CeBit.
VersaPixels' distributed architecture gives designers complete freedom over pixel shape and placement - including intri
DJW were invited by Haley Sharpe Design to help deliver their vision of virtual interpretation at the Archaearium, which is a 5000sqft interpretation centre on the archaeological discoveries at Jamestown Fort, the site of the first British Settlement in Virginia.

Originally fitted with a Soundcraft Series 600 32/2/8, the club - which operates on three floors - has now been updated with a 40-channel version of a Soundcraft MH2.
"The MH2, with its four stereo channels and 40 mono channels, eight VCA subgroups and the highly impressive 4-band equaliser with semi parametric filters, 10 auxiliary sends and six mute groups, meets our requirements perfectly," says Jan Drusche. "We have not been able to find a product with these qualities for a similar price on the market."
The theatre has been operating without a break for fifty years mainly as an operetta house up until 2002. It was established thanks to the efforts of artists who moved to Wroclaw from all over Poland after the Second World War. The Lower-Silesian Operetta, the original name for the theatre, began its life with the staging of Johann Strauss' The Bat under the direction of Szymon Szurmiej, which was performed on 21 March 1965.
Up to the 1990s the repertoire mainly included classical operettas such as Offenbach, Abraham, Dostal and Strauss. In the 1990s Jan Szurmiej the artistic director and Marek R
"We didn't purchase the W-DMX System for the usual shows as we can use our inbuilt Ethernet data distribution system for our standard theatre rigs," explained Phil Dunesky, Sydney Opera House's technical operations manager for the stage lighting department.
"Rather we purchased it to use on our more unusual events, such as foyer-based productions, and for the occasional set pieces that may be run on a revolve, for example, where running cable would be difficult to use. Quite often we have to light functions here at the Ope
Packaged in a rugged flight case, the pop-up rear projection display offers optical technology that can be readily transported and set up by unskilled staff inside two minutes.

Founded in 2004 in the Netherlands, the project has been highly successful in South Africa, the Netherlands and Indonesia, uniting thousands of young people around the world.

The team behind the Coronet re-launch includes Simon Parkes, the man who rescued the derelict Brixton Academy in the 1980s. Unsurprisingly, he has put live music at the core of the Coronet's new business plan, and wants to put the venue firmly on the touring circuit. So far, the club has hosted Franz Ferdinand, The Orb and Macy Gray, and is nurturing a commitment to showcasing new bands and avant-garde events.

The venue, which trades on an impressive 3500m, spread across three levels, boasts a remarkable sound and lighting fit-out, with equipment supplied by Bon Studio.
The company's Elpi Bofiliaki says: "The project was undertaken through our dealer, Mr Ritsopoulos. He chose Bon Studio because of our all-year-round operation, our excellent reputation and technical expertise, after sales support - and our ability to deliver top quality audio and lighting products, which are exclusively distributed in the Greek market."

For the Elbo Room, a popular local club in the city's Mission District, San Francisco Audio's Radley Hirsch came up with a novel approach, suspending three Community R.5HP loudspeakers above the stage to create a stage monitoring design that is as efficient as it is powerful. The R.5HP, a weather-resistant sound reinforcement loudspeaker typically used for music and voice applications in arenas, fairgrounds and other outdoor venues, proved to be an ideal solution on a number of levels.
"It's hard for smaller clubs to budget for stage monitors, and the R.5HP's made perfect sense as a more affordable option," Hirsch explain
The Mount St Jesuit Centre is both a teaching facility and a retreat where Christians may come and explore their faith via the many courses and activities that are run by the centre. The AV system, which also includes a DVD player and sky box and is connected into the existing PA, is designed to bring presentations to life and add a much-needed visual element to seminars and lectures. The room is also used for social activities, in particular the cinema club.
Sound Division's David Graham reported that the installation was welcomed by the client. "The Jesuit Centre, like many other teaching organisations, has been offering visual presentations for a long time, but never yet of this
Central to the installation is Bosch's proven Praesideo technology - the world's first fully digital public address and emergency sound system characterised by the flexibility in the system configuration, simplicity of installation and high-quality audio reproduction. Its high output power and ability to be configured for many different zones makes it ideal for a shopping centre environment, say Bosch.
As well as the PA/VA system, AIS has also chosen technology from Bosch Security Systems' CCTV range, including EnviroDome (for outdoor surveillance) and FlexiDome XT (impact resistant) dome cameras, both with innovative motion tracking c

Turbosound Qlight TQ-230 was the principal loudspeaker chosen to deliver these services. The TQ-230 is a compact cabinet comprising dual 5" woofers and a 1" compression driver on a rotatable horn, with a wide dispersion pattern.

Special attention had to be paid to the audio design to achieve the required effect. Jason Bacon of Audio Projects, London undertook the design. Kelco was able to advise on the scheme to meet the client's exacting demands. The system needed to be zoned to feed the venue's four distinct areas, but still have the ability to offer the same music into any or all areas.
The main dance arena required a full on system so the obvious choice was Resolution 4 boxes coupled with F-218 subs. Resolution 1s were specified for the restaurant area and some seating areas, all driven by Full Fat Audio (FFA) amplifiers. This was the first major installation to
