"We installed six WideLines per side, ground stacking them in an arc with a single sub per side," reported Set Music's president Aldo Contini. "There was no EQ, other than perhaps a touch to compensate for the room's mid-bass resonance. The sound was absolutely smooth and homogenous all the way up to the seventh level gallery."

"My main consideration was space," said Groothuis of his decision to use Yamaha's PM5D mixing console. "This is a small theatre and seat revenues are important. I needed a certain amount of channels and a certain sound quality. It was a toss up between having a larger conventional console in a position where the operator couldn't hear, or a smaller one in a good listening position. There was nothi

The tour visits a variety of venues, large and small, culminating in shows at London's Brixton Academy. They're carrying 20 VT4889 elements on the truck, using 10 per side for the larger shows and four per side for the smaller ones. "VerTec suits Good Charlotte very well," says Neale, "Lots of energy and power coming out of it - just like the band - but it also gets right over the top of the stage noise".
The subs are eight of Adlib'
Despite its slim profile, compact size (38 x 43 x 30cm) and light weight, H.A.R.D. 45 SP can produce a peak SPL of 129 dB/1m, thanks to its built-in PWM amplifiers supplying 2-way (low and high) power to the speakers mounted in the enclosure, say Outline. With four special 5" mid-woofers (the same as those mounted in the Micra II enclosures) and a compression driver with a 1" throat loaded by the same S.P.R.W.G. (Single Parabolic Reflective Wave Guide) used for the other models in the range, H.A.R.D. 45 features, among other thi
New on show will be the LR14B, the ultra-compact, lightweight, high-output bass module of the LR14 line-array, with double Neodymium 12" in double-tuned band-pass configuration. The LR14B combines a very low weight with very high specific SPL output, making the LR14B an excell
The venue's technical manager, Tony Edwards, said that this was part of SECC's policy of continuous improvement of the facilities. "The heavy utilisation of this Hall means that the turnaround times have to be quick. We need to be able to offer a system that is versatile, with exceptional quality, since it will be used for a wide range of corporate events as well as other productions such as pantomimes. Jim Coubrough, our sound technician, was so convinced about the quality and coverage of the system we have been able to do away with the front-fills and allow the 30° down-fill box to provide the nearfi
Sound Control, Dundee supplied four PS15's and four PS10's, which are flown over the dancefloor and peripheral areas, reinforced by a pair of LS1200 subs - all powered by three Camco Vortex 6 amplifiers (2100W/4 ohms).
The full-range speakers are either suspended from tie bars or fixed direct into the standard four-inch brick ceiling using the NEXO hardware, reinforced by a special epoxy-based chemical and fixing screw rod. The s

Specifying four each of Cerwin's Vision VIS-153, Vision VIS-122, ProStax PSX-122 and AB36 sub, Steve Wright, who runs Class-UK, said they were selected for their sonic ability and cost-effectiveness. A pair of Vision VIS-153s, groundstacked on a pair of AB36 18" folded 'After Burn' subs, are sited on either side of the DJ booth; and while one pair of ProStax PSX-122s acts as DJ monitors, the other operates as an infill system for the adjacent bar.

"Work had already begun on my new studio when I first met Richard Vivian from Big Sky," says Harding. "The building had been designed by a local architect and was being built by a local, non-specialist builder. I had made the classic mistake of allowing these people to erect a parallel walled room. One visit from Richard to the site immediately highlighted a list of improvements that were both economic and practical to implement. Suggestions such as an internal lobby on the entrance door, built on an angle to break up the parallel walls, and changes to the internal wall construction hav
Hawthorn prides itself on its ongoing investment in new technology: most recently this has seen the purchase of James Thomas's brand new PIXELpipes and RADlite's revolutionary Pixeldrive, currently on tour with The Chemical Brothers, and their new Martin Line Array. Martin Hawthorn, managing director, says: "We just had nowhere left to grow. After building mezzanines in our current unit, we were delighted when we heard our neighbours were moving, as we could literally double our space overnight without relocating or running a spli
Due to the wide variety of productions that the theatre stages - from speeches and traditional plays to small concerts - Kelco's technical director David Kelland specified six EMS-121 (12" x 1") full-range enclosures, arranged in pairs at left-centre-right positions, with EMS-81 enclosures as downfills and EMS-215 subwoofers for low end support. The entire system is powered by MC2 T-Series am

Situated in the City's East End, the famous old touring theatre needed to supplement its existing house system - but in view of the number of arts spaces (including the original Victorian Bar) housed within a building whose steeple dates back to the 16th century, they also needed a rolling set-up that could be used outside. Sound Acoustics ended up supplying eight t&m 122 12" full-range speakers, complemented by a pair of t&m 215 (2 x 15) subs - and relevant system controller. "We went for t&m on the recommendation of Sound Acoustics, whom we trust implicitl
