Wembley has become a popular destination for musicians and gigging bands, a one-stop shop for live sound equipment. The PA Centre's dedicated demo room not only carries the largest stock of Electro-Voice loudspeakers anywhere in the UK, it is also the only place to go to try out the EV Phoenix range.
"This is the premier showcase for Electro-Voice products in the country," says Dave Finlay from Shuttlesound, "so it's not really surprising that, with this extraordinary level of commitment to promotion and display, the Wembley PA Centre is one of our top EV sales stores."
The team at the PA Centre has also proved instrumental i
A highlight will be the newly launched iDR-16 3U MixRack and iLive-R72 rackmountable control surface, which together provide a space saving, lightweight digital live mixing system, bringing the same power, sonic performance and flexibility of the larger touring iLive systems to a significantly lower price point.
With these additions, the iLive Series now includes a total of six Surface and five MixRack variants, which can be mixed and matched in any combination, and share the same firmware, so that show files are transferable between systems via a USB key.
The compact ZED-10 and ZED-10FX mini mixers will also have their first UK showing. The new additions feature two high impedance discrete Class A FET inputs, which allow

According to Matt Hall, project manager for Aspen Custom Electronics, the courthouse's audio system required so many revisions because of its many acoustical anomalies. Built in 1917, it was designed to provide optimal voice projection without the use of a PA system, so even the smallest sounds reverberate throughout the room, and a good portion of the front is covered in marble. What's more, the witness is able to turn up to 180 degrees wh
McKenzie described the USB DIs as being ideal for the "on air play out" from the commentators computers and audio feed located in the Pit commentary position below court level. The transformer isolated outputs ensured noise free performance when connected to the complex broadcast audio system used at the Open.
The commentary was streamed via the USB DIs to the 'Tennis Radio Network' and then up-streamed globally though the world wide web to an estimated on line audience of around 2m tennis fans.
