EM Acoustics’ factory has been open throughout the majority of the last 15 months
UK - Live music venue The Boileroom has been an EM Acoustics system user for over a decade. They’ve just taken delivery of a new flagship Reference Series R10 system.
When the team at The Boileroom were producing a live streamed show with Newton Faulker at Guildford’s Holy Trinity Church earlier this month, EM Acoustics were stepped in and supported the venue and show. The show was covered by a pair of R10 3-way precision passive point source loudspeakers, with ST-215 subwoofers underneath. Monitoring was handled by a pair of M-C15 coaxial stage monitors, with DQ20 advanced system amplifiers driving everything.
"The Boileroom is our local grass roots music venue, who have used our products successfully for over a decade,” says Mike Wheeler, EM Acoustics’ co-founder and operations director. “They had already decided to upgrade to a system based around R10s for the venue when this show with Newton Faulkner came up. We were very pleased to support them for the show, and we were all keen to hear how the R10 performed in the historic Holy Trinity Church.
“A happy engineer and a happy audience speak volumes about how the R10 copes in challenging acoustic spaces. We hope this is finally the start of live events restarting and our industry beginning to get going again."
"As a long-term user of EM Acoustics systems we value their support and advice. It has been great working with them on our in-house system and on external events,” says Dom Frazer - director at The Boileroom.
“Inevitably, many venues have been closed or dormant for many months now, with much of the equipment not even being switched on for an extended period,” says Wheeler. “This could well be problematic when many are having to get up and running from a standing start, and with limited teams and tightened budgets. At EM Acoustics we want to help get UK venues ready to reopen again as smoothly as possible, and as such we are offering system health checks and general advice, completely free and without any obligation whatsoever.
“Whether you own an EM Acoustics system or not, one of our team can visit your venue and address any concerns you may have with the loudspeaker system and offer practical help and support if you need it. Maybe you would just like to have a chat with another human being about audio.”
*EM Acoustics is exhibiting at the PLASA Show this year, 5-7 September at Olympia (stand D7).
