Marquee Audio hs supplied a Trantec S5000 8-way radio system - including CTX handheld transmitters, active antenna distribution units (ADUs) and splitters - as part of a communications upgrade at The International Convention Centre in Birmingham. Currently celebrating its 10th anniversary, the ICC is a long-standing customer of Marquee Audio, who in turn are main dealers for the Trantec award-winning UHF diversity systems. The order was placed by the venue's technical facilities manager, Paul Dipple, for use in the main Hall 1 of their 11-hall complex. "We use several radio systems throughout the Centre and we systematically identify products for upgrade," said Dipple. "In this instance price wasn’t an issue - we bought the Trantecs purely on the quality of the product."Having carried out their own research the ICC arrived at their decision after witnessing the large number of visiting audio production companies carrying Trantec hire stock as standard. "We would see these companies on site, listen to their opinions - and effectively be able to evaluate the products in situ," stated Paul. "We realized for Hall 1 - which is the main conference auditorium - we needed a superior system and so we purchased eight S5000 handheld and eight lapel mics per channel."
