The conference hosted 1000 delegates and required 24 channels of audio, which comprised four lectern mics and a range of tieclip mics, plus VT stings and other playback elements. The sound was broadcast to the floor via Funktion One Resolution 2 loudspeakers. A major drawback of corporate events is that they often take place in venues which were not designed for amplified audio. SiDD provides the answer to these problems by featuring all the EQ and dynamic controls required to tune any size or shape of venue. In addition, once an event has taken place, the set-up can be stored for instant recall when the venue is next used.
Another advantage for corporate work is that SiDD can also be controlled remotely, using laptop computers with wireless modems and PC Anywhere software. This allows a sound engineer to both set up and control the entire sound system from anywhere in a venue - a distinct advantage in venues such as hotels, museums and conference centres which do not have a 'natural' position for the front of house engineer.
