To achieve consistent coverage over the widest possible frequency range, the MF/HF driver assembly is coupled to a single horn, which occupies almost the entire front of the AX Series' enclosure. The EAW engineering team then incorporated their new Concentric Summation Array (CSA) technology, an advanced design based on their patented Radial Phase Plug, to solve the complex acoustic problems that generally prevent the coupli
Duncan Baines of Xtreme AV acknowledges that the ergonomics of the EVID units are an important selling point. "Visually, this is a very good-looking cabinet, and its design fits in really well with the décor in a smart interior like Smollensky's."
EVID 6.2s offer high performance as well as aesthetic appeal. Smollensky's commissioned the new EV installation because the bar area has replaced its background music with a DJ. For similar reasons, Xtreme AV has installed EVIDs at the Hub Bar in Colchester. "The bar only opened about a year ago,
Electronically, the LX7ii gains a new Soundcraft mic-preamp and EQ section, both designed by Soundcraft founder and electronics wizard Graham Blyth. Designated the GB30 Series, the new designs coincide with Soundcraft's 30 year anniversary and the new 4-band EQ with swept mid sections is based on the acclaimed EQ in the new MH3 and MH4 touring consoles. "The new GB30 mic pre on the LX7ii brings together some of the quality and precision of the mic pre's we use on our biggest touring desk, whilst retaining the cost-sensitivity demanded at this point in the market," says Blyth. "We're cons
The subminiature cardioid element is enclosed in a rugged, low-profile housing with internal construction designed to minimize noise from handling, clothing, and wind. The microphone plugs into the included power module, which features battery/phantom power operation, switchable low-frequency roll-off switch, and an integral XLR3M connector supplying a low-impedance balanced outp

"Being able to supply another component part of the audio installation takes us one step closer to being a complete systems provider", commented Simon Sinclair, Tannoy's sales director. He further explained, "In particular Mipro's exceptional range of wireless microphone systems fits very well alongside the distribution channels of the current Tannoy range. We believe Mipro will prove a very popular line with our customers."
As with Tannoy, Mipro
West has just released his new solo album 'Blues To Die For' on Mascot-Provogue in Europe and he will feature a number of tracks from this on the tour. He will also be playing a selection of both Mountain and West, Bruce and Laing songs which he has rearranged especially for acoustic and electric guitars.
Del Bromham from Stray has also released his first solo blues album, Devil's Highway, on THM and will support West on all of his UK, European and Scandinavian dates and will be playing both solo tracks and

Discretely mounted, the water resistant speakers reproduce sound effects, speech and singing triggered by sensors on the boat, at different points on its journey. The speakers are available in a variety of formats including both 100V line and low impedance with black or white finishes.
Said Ansabac's Phil Parkes: "We have been servicing Drayton Manor for around 15 years and the equipment on this ride had come to the end of its life. Work is one of two brands that the company would consider for this type of appli
13 Crown CTs 2000 amplifiers, using PIP Lite cards and running Crown IQ software, provide amplification. As the leading entertainment centre in Auckland, Skycity Auckland has music covering its casino, four-star hotel and Sky Tower. The main requirements for Daniel Nel, the entertainment operations manager for the complex, was flexibility in the design and the possibility to upgrade the signal processing easily; it also had to sound good.
As part of the upgrade the number of sources was increased from two to 12. The positioning of Soundweb SW9010 'Jellyfish' remote
Each member of the band will be using Trantec's S4000 IEM, a UHF stereo in-ear monitoring system, which comprises a transmitter and two beltpack receivers - an ideal configuration for the small to medium sized venues on the tour schedule. The DC powered transmitter features a menu-driven LCD control panel, which can display both audio channels simultaneously or provide an average of both. Other displays include operating frequency, user n
Ray Furze, one of the first sound engineers to test the desk at a live show, said: "I used the board on a one-off show with The Beautiful South and was sold on it straight away. I liked the new pre-amps and my first impression was that the EQ has a feel that reminded me of Neve EQ with a very polished top end and warm lows.
The exhibition is a first, and takes place in the RSMAD's new Athenaeum Theatre. It is being held in conjunction with the Graduate Exhibition, showing students' displays from the Technical and Production Arts Course and visitors will come from Glasgow's pro audio community.
Autograph Sales' inclusion in the show reinforces its support and association with the RSAMD. Equipment has been donated for the students' various projects that is essential to their understanding of the latest technology available in the field. Dave Ripley, Academy production manager, is delighted that Autograph Sales has decided t
Back in Shoreditch, as the 260-capacity venue - originally opened three years ago - settled into its operating pattern, the inadequacies of the sound system became evident. The Group give high priority to music quality in their venues, and its head of marketing, Brenhan Magee, said that the plan was to coincide the new system upgrade with an acoustic treatment of the room, which saw the installation of a series of acoustic discs lowering the ceiling height.

The CD range includes the CD-1500, CD-2000 and CD-3000, producing 900W, 1200W and 1800W respectively into 2 ohms stereo mode. Meanwhile, the four-channel CM 2204 and eight-channel CM 2208 are both designed to operate at 220W RMS regardless of impedance selected. Another feature of the CM Series is a circuit which lowers the line current required for any given output by as much as 50%. Other plusses are inputs and outputs featuring Phoenix connectors, with all level controls situated at the
Both areas had Martin Audio sound systems and Allen & Heath Xone mixers. Deep Dish opted for a Xone:62, whilst Sander Kleinenberg installed his own, personal Xone:92, as has become customary for his club performances. Sander has been a big supporter of the new mixer, which he helped to launch last December with a major set in Cargo, London.

The big London date for Ross was Wembley Arena, where the in-the-round set resulted in some big changes for the sound engineers. Monitor engineer Rory Madden was situated in the centre of the arena floor, alongside members of the 12-piece band and the circular stage. Marsh had to set up his Midas XL4 console where one would normally expect to find the stage.
"That was the biggest compromise," says Marsh. "The traditional front-of-house position is about five metres away from where the round stage is now. So I am where the stage usually is, and off t
The Hall's technical manager Gary Malam said that the decision to use Marquee gave him complete confidence, since he had worked closely with the company's MD Spencer Brooks, when the former was supervising the technology at the Reading Hexagon. Furthermore, Rob Whittaker - who recently joined the Shepperton installers - was known to the venue, and he undertook this as his first contract for his new employers. "I was delighted when I arrived to discover that a Turbosound system had been recommended," said Ma
