"We invested in LYON because we always strive to have the latest and best from Meyer Sound," says Chris Andrus, audio department manager at Bartha.

Broadcasting 24 hours a day, seven days a week, MoMo TV is based in three new studios in the new facility at the Neihu Hi-tech Industry Park, Taipei. Each studio features a new DiGiCo SD8, installed as part of a comprehensive technical upgrade and replacing the channel's previous analogue consoles.
DiGiCo distributor Rightway Audio Consultants worked together with the local system integrator Acesonic Technology Co., Ltd. for the design, supply, installation and commissioning of the new equipment.

The system, supplied by LMC Audio, was used on a high profile event with a contemporary artist who had minimal staging and space for technical equipment.
Julian Rees, technical director of Production Plus, comments: "With Axis AX12 our client's expectations were met with limited visual impact, allowing clean sight lines whilst also keeping the artist/engineers happy in terms of performance."
He continues: "A large section of our work is to supply artiste technical specs to meet riders, however, these need to be acceptable to our corporate clients - not always an easy trade off! A problem we have long had is artistes wanting large wedges on stage. Axis AX12 gave us the solution of bi-amp
Originally constructed in 1964, Northeast has recently undergone a major renovation. As part of that renovation, the school received new AV systems in its main and auxiliary gymnasiums, its multi-purpose cafeteria and its black box theater.

Sinclair specified Community loudspeakers for all three Northeast venues. The gymnasiums feature Community R1-94 two-way loudspeakers s
Despite being best known from the modern medium of television singing and reality shows, X Factor winner McElderry's Set Your Soul Alive tour harks back to tours of the 1950s, 60s and 70s, when acts would embark on seemingly never-ending national treks.
Criss-crossing the UK, from Billingham to Yeovil, Hastings to Weston-super-Mare, taking in dozens of other provincial venues, Yamaha and Dante technology means that the current tour is a very different proposition to those of the past.
"We did the preliminary dates in 2013 on a Yamaha M7CL-48ES at FOH and an LS9-32 on monitors, as restrictions on stage space and transport weight mea
ACE is to provide £16.7m - equivalent to 70% of the total cost - with the London venue intending to raise the remainder through trusts, philanthropists and audiences.

The 18 M1D loudspeakers in CST's 500-seat Jentes Family Courtyard Theater replace an aging, point-source centre cluster. "The Courtyard was designed like the Swan Theatre in London, with very high surrounding balconies and a deep thrust stage," explains James Savage, head of sound at CST. "The system also has to cover the room's 270-degree spread."

The installation also included a Dante audio network, using the Nuage PCIe card and interfaces.
"We have been using Steinberg Nuendo in audio post production for about seven years," he says. "We knew that one of the best ways to make our audio DAW work most cost-effective is to control it

Designed, developed and manufactured in the UK, the Superstar DJ Box, is built from high resolution LED wall modules to create a visual feature from where the DJ performs, maximising the impact of his or her presence at any event.
