LATEST ISSUE

Our cover this month showcases the newly opened Warner Bros. World, Abu Dhabi - the world’s larg-est indoor theme park, housing rides and zones dedicated the studios’ many popular cartoon charac-ters, superheroes and villains. Of course, behind the scenes, a heck of a lot of work has gone in to making the theme park look and sound the part, as Mike Clark discovers for his report.

Also inside, Kate Lyon visits Manchester’s Victoria Warehouse as Glaswegian synth-pop favourites Chvrches take to the stage with their retro-styled Love Is Dead tour. On the tech front, we report from another busy edition of ISE, which took place this February in Amsterdam. Meanwhile, we present our Prolight+Sound preview ahead of next month’s Frankfurt-based show, plus two in-depth product re-views as Mike Wood examines Robe’s new T1 Profile, and Mark Johnson plays with Sony’s DWT-B03R digital microphone transmitter.

We also explore the new AVB Milan protocol, meet the teams at BroadWeigh and Vue Audiotechnik, and report on the newly refurbished and upgraded Linbury Theatre at London’s Royal Opera House. Two of our industry’s shining lights are also remembered this month, as we look back at the lives of ETC’s Fred Foster and Robert Juliat’s Jean-Charles Juliat, both of whom sadly passed away this Febru-ary and will be greatly missed by the industry and all who had the pleasure of knowing them.

Plus, all your regular favourites and more!
