Panelists are Paul Timmins general manager of rental company Capital Sound, which has used Martin Audio's MLA system to great effect in some particularly sensitive situations including London's Hyde Park; Richard Vivian from Big Sky Acoustics, acoustic consultancy specialising in noise control for music and entertainment; and Roly Oliver, head of live business at Vanguardia Consulting.
The panel will look at the issues from all sides and see how the new expertise and fresh solutions that continually arrive on the market can help, or not, as the industry tackles the perennial problem of controlling ambient noise.

The experiments end with 'Lens through
Managing director, Keith Wrigley told LSi: "LED lighting PCB applications represents over 70% of our business turnover and the experience we have with thermal management of high power LED devices and specialist materials is directly applicable to the PLASA audience and co-exhibitors."
Audio application circuit board d K6s also require the very highest quality, connectivity and aesthetic appearance to match the aspirational nature of high-end equipment, and Momentum have a growing number of pro-audio and control system customers including other PLASA exhibitors who encouraged Momentum to attend the show.
"The results so far have been hugely encouraging and we have alre
A highlight of the stand is Meyer Sound's CAL 32 loudspeaker system, a self-powered steerable column array that offers higher power, more extended high-frequency beam-steering and beam splitting capabilities, and more uniform broad-bandwidth beam formation than any other column system. CAL offers a uniquely controllable solution to dozens of installed-sound applications and is particularly useful in challenging acoustic and aesthetic environments.
"We're extremely happy with the interest in CAL and all o
A recent re-brand was part of a consolidation of Hawthorn's business interests following the purchase of Anagram Production Services and Rex Howard Drapes, both now firmly under the new banner of Hawthorn and has allowed them to simplify the company structure ahead of their 30th anniversary in the events industry, in February of 2017.

The 17m-high abstract aluminium lattice structure has been wowing visitors with its unique multisensory experience as it responds, with the help of TiMax, to the activity of real bees in a beehive located behind the scenes at Kew.
The intent of this walk-in figurative beehive installation is to help highlight the significance and plight of bees in our food-chain and ecology. Inside The Hive, multichannel dynamic lighting and audio effects are driven by special software, developed by freelance developer Andy Coates to provide realtime showcontrol data based on the activity of Kew's bee colony.

Keith Holland, RS chairman, said, "We are again keeping with the ever popular residential format familiar with RS conferences, which encourages valuable and sociable networking between attendees.

"Many clients and distributors were talking about this product," said managing director, Tine Helmle. "They love the device and the stand was buzzing."

Designed for the demanding requirements of stadiums and concert venues, where high impact, high fidelity, and high SPLs are all needed, the Danley J3-94 delivers 142dB of continuous output using eighteen drivers that combine using Danley's patented technologies to produce a single phase-coherent signal with "home hi-fi quality" intelligibility and musical impact.
Like the original J1-94, the J3-94 produces a 90deg horizontal by 40deg vertical beam width (with Danley's characteristically steep drop-off outside that beam). However, the new J3-94 is nearly half the J1-94's weight, with slightly less bass output as the compromise.
"The new Danley J3-94 Jericho Horn can be used in every circumstance where line arrays could be used, but with vastly bet
Belmont provided a perfect location for this event, as the university has over 25 RedNet units in operation for connecting production rooms, recording spaces, classrooms, two theatres and other critical educational spaces in the R. Milton and Denice Johnson Centre.
RedNet is the premier audio-over-IP solution, based around Audinate's industry standard Dante protocol. It comprises a suite of top-notch, modular network audio interfaces, combining Focusrite audio quality with the internet-age flexibility of audio-over-IP.
Audinate senior technical sales engineer Barnie Farkus helped lead a Dante training session. Following that, Ron Romano, Belmont Univer
In each of these events, styling performance and clear sound are of utmost importance for speech intelligibility and hearing. When searching for a conference microphone system, Kevin Fox, associate director of media services at the law school, chose to install a portable Shure DDS 5900 Digital Discussion System with 40 channels. This all-in-one sound system enables the staff at NYU Law to tailor audio performance to different sized meetings based on several factors that impact performance, including room acoustics, table dimensions, and seating arrangement.

The Chapel hosts a weekly mass for the Royal Parish, consisting of members of the Royal family and employees of the Court, as well as a regular music programme featuring organ and classical music concerts. There are also frequent media broadcasts of Royal events, such as baptisms and weddings, at the venue.
"We choose the GLD because of its flexibility. It's a powerful tool for the experienced mix engineer, but also easy to use by novices. It's great to be able to lock out inexperienced users from the more integral settings," explains Christoffer Wetterstr
The extreme high winds and driving rain had blighted the opening day, headlined by Frankie Valli's band, who were joined by the BBC Concert Orchestra and a line-up including ABC, All Saints, Rick Astley, The Feeling and others. As the following day made way for bright sunshine, Status Quo and Madness got the evening party going and were perfect curtain-raisers for the headline act, Elton John.
But such changeable weather conditions in a noise sensitive environment is precisely the scenario that Martin Audio's award-winning MLA Multi-cellular Loudspeaker Array (MLA), and its advanced DISPLAY software, was designed for.

The two new models, the TFX122M-AN and TFX152M-AN offer "quality musical reproduction at an affordable entry level price point. The two new models join the existing four in the range; the TFM122M and TFM152M switchable passive/bi-amp loudspeakers, and the TFM122M-AN and TFM152M-AN powered loudspeakers.
The new monitors feature 1,100 Watts of peak power from a highly portable lightweight integrated class-D amplifier. Specifically the TFX122M-AN features a carbon fibre loaded 12" ferrite low frequency driver with a titanium dome 1" compression driver. The larger TFX152M-AN features a carbon fibre loaded 15" ferrite low frequency driver with t
The compact and versatile ShowMatch loudspeaker features DeltaQ next-generation array technology, offering the ability to build traditional (J-Array or Constant Curvature) and DeltaQ array configurations, allowing both portable/rental and installed applications to deploy selectable coverage control.
ShowMatch arrays are capable of generating a maximum SPL of up to 145 dB (peak), or when SPL is less critical, they offer the ability to achieve full coverage with fewer modules for significant weight, height and cost savings.
DeltaQ originates from the ability to change directivity or "Q" for each array module. When combined in an array, acoustic energy is highly focused and can be matched to audience areas more accurately. This is an advancement from traditional
