"Supplying MI and pro audio retailers is very different to supporting, for example, consultants who are responsible for project delivery on a single piece, individual part and entire project level," explains Savage. "It makes perfect business sense to have a team dedicated to that market - hence the creation of the Systems Group. We understand what makes

"We have between 10 and 15 DPA microphones permanently in the venue and we will be hiring in more when larger ensembles are playing," says Doky, who is musical director of the new venue. "When our stage was completed in September, we conducted a series of rehearsals and tests on site with the DPA team to determine exactly which microphones we needed.

To carry the actors' voices, sound effects, and incidental music throughout the park, system integrator One Two Sales of Gothenburg has outfitted Rabbit Land with Meyer Sound's D-Mitri digital audio platform and Meyer Sound self-powered loudspeakers discreetly placed throughout the area.
"Meyer Sound's integrated solution was a perfect match for Liseberg's expansion," says Ola Lindstedt of One Two Sales. "They wanted a supplier with extensive experience in themed entertainment, which Meyer has worldwide. Of course, they also wanted high-quality sound and reliability."
At the heart of the system is the D-Mitri platfor

The first desk was purchased in the summer of 2012 to service the needs of the popular BBC1 show Saturday Kitchen, together with other programmes that had moved to new television studios in Clapham, South West London.
The second desk, delivered almost a year later in 2013, has recently been installed in Prolink's High Definition Outside Broadcast unit.
"We completed a significant upgrade to the vision side of the truck in early 2013 and we scheduled the mid-year period to give the sound facilities a similar make over," says Prolink director Andrew Dugard, speaking of the DiGiCo acquisition. "The new desk had to squarely meet the needs of the jobs we attract, which are typically between eight and ten cameras with a good n

A variety of wildlife sound sources are located around the eye-catching booth, with microphones placed to allow visitors to pinpoint the sounds and experience the difference between a range of models in terms of response, acceptance angle and sound rejection etc.
Key models from Audio-Technica's Broadcast & Production range will be displayed, alongside the popular AT897 short shotgun - ideal for camcorder and HDSLR mounting - and the widely-used ATH-M50 professional monitoring headphones.

According to systems engineer Andrew Gilchrest, the Rat crew typically flew 15 Kara line source array enclosures below two SB18 subs per side, with an additional two SB18 per side set up on the floor. For venues with extended balconies, however, the left and right hangs were split into two arrays: eight Kara in the air, plus seven Kara positioned over two SB18 onstage for the orchestra level. LA8
The New Zealand based band - known for their improvised live performances which embrace multiple styles including dub, reggae, soul, jazz, blues and techno - returned to Entec to supply all their production needs following a hugely successful previous one off at Brixton Academy in 2011.
Once again, choosing a company that could deliver all their production elements from one source proved an efficient and cost-effective solution.
The band's Lighting designer Mark Butler sent in this plot which Entec's lighting division matched. There were three over-stage flown trusses, all raked at jaunty angles, and three upright trusses on the floor, giving the performance space a dynamic, off-beat look an

The loudspeaker manufacturer received invaluable support from industry allies - including members of the trade press and organisations like PLASA and Prolight+Sound, who helped to assemble evidence that greatly assisted the case.

The report was the culmination of an inquiry which was launched just over a year ago with a call for evidence from the Committee, which is made up of MPs from across all political parties. PLASA made a detailed written submission as to how the creative industries can be better supported, with a particular emphasis on the value and importance of the Entertainment Technology sector. PLASA's evidence focussed on issues around allowing companies to promote their involvement in the Olympics, tax relief for apprenticeships, improving protection for intellectual property and helping SMEs in the sec

After 15 years of intense use, the audio system at the Courtyard was due for a refresh. With funding available, the venue's production manager Carl Hulme took the time to choose equipment that would take the venue far into the future, without the need for further significant investment.

The hall and its raised stage is used for everything from public meetings to children's parties and concerts by local musicians. The staff that run the sound system in the hall are direct employees of the council and recommended the purchase of the Q-Sys system along with the KLA active line array system following a demo by the local QSC distributor, AED.
The sound system in the multipurpose hall is configured as a three-channel Left, Centre, Right (LCS) system. Two KLA12 elements are used per channel (for a total of six enclosures), and are
"Originally St Mary's wanted lighting solutions for three venues, namely, the school hall, a studio which is used as the drama practice room and an outdoor auditorium," explained Nick Barnes from DWR who headed the installation. Michael Broderick, a lighting specialist, consulted to ensure the correct equipment was specified. Due to pricing and budget constraints, it was decided to commence the project with the school hall only.
DWR took out the outdated lighting infrastructure and replaced this with two stage lighting bars, one FOH Lighting Bar, four
