Leading pro audio distributor Shuttlesound has reported its best ever PLASA Show, with a healthy crop of orders across all product ranges. The single largest order came from Fenwick Mobile Exhibitions (now known as FMX). Specialists in the supply of mobile stages complete with fully engineered sound and lighting systems, FMX already owned the largest X-Array system in the UK. With the PLASA purchase owner Ron MacGillivray has increased his inventory by another two thirds to make a very substantial system comprising 40 cabinets of varying types, 16 P3000 amplifiers and 4 Klark Teknik DN9848 system processors. According to MacGillivray: "We now have a system large enough to cope with outdoor events for several thousand people, of which there are many in this part of the world. We are also looking to increase the capacity of our existing trucks now that we have more equipment available." However, X-Array was not the only product to enjoy sales success at PLASA. Shuttlesound's managing director Paul Barretta noted that in fact all of the new products shown generated high levels of interest: "We had a great response to the new MP7 all-in-one entertainment system from Dynacord and sold several units over the course of the show, and of course the gorgeous-looking new EViD loudspeakers from EV were a real hit with installers I'm pleased to say."
