D8's system has already been used on several festivals and events including Future Music Festival Asia and Zouk@Sepang, both held at the Sepang International Circuit Formula One track outside Kuala Lumpur. These one-day events transform the Formula One track into an outdoor party for thousands of air-punching ravers, with emphasis on the best sound, lighting and production to showcase the live international and local dance acts.

The company enlisted the services of Azule Finance ahead of an especially busy year. The industry-first MLA speaker system is the first large scale concert PA system with the ability to generate a wave-front that can focus the output on particular areas of the crowd. Radically reducing noise levels outside of those spaces, the MLA system enables RG Jones to provide a solution that delivers the ultimate

Andersson takes up the position after two years as part of the sales organisation TC Group International (TCGI), the organisation responsible for sales of the TC Group brands, where he was employed as international sales manager for touring products.
"I am delighted to take up the role as the company enters a new era in its history," said Andersson. "I think the level of innovation across the brands is unrivalled."

Designed to work in conjunction with JBL VerTec, VRX, and AE series loudspeakers, the system's modular design is highly scalable and is designed to meet the needs of both small and large sound systems.
"We purchased 26 of the Crown VRACKs and replaced all Crown 5000 and 9000 amplifiers that were driving our JBL VerTec," explained Jim Straw, CEO at JPJ Audio. "It gives us a new, lightweight packaged amplifier solution as well as access to the new JBL V5 VerTec presets. It was the way other companies around the world were heading and so we decided to push the VerTec forward again and change

Under the new arrangement, the formidable and diversified resources of The AVC Group, SpeakerCraft, Proficient and Panamax/Furman brands will align under one centralised division with a focus on customer-centric product, brand innovation and dealer support.
Mark Terry, president of AVC Group, will leave the company.

Timed to coincide with the annual Earth Day, the event took place in Heap's Essex garden in front of 80 specially invited guests, plus an audience of half a million who enjoyed a live relay via Facebook and the artist's web site.
The central part of the show was a 'silent gig', which featured the assembled guests wearing Sennheiser UK RS 120 headsets to hear the performance.
Following the company's involvement with the December Sessions at London's O2, which included a 'silent gig' by The Feeling, the latter's front of house engineer Jon Sword recommended Sennheiser to Kumar
The stadium has a large capacity of seats and 120 executive boxes and it is the centre of a totally renewed area that also includes a large 34,000 m2 commercial mall, the first Juventus Museum, a parking area and many other facilities.
Thanks to the new stadium the fans have the possibility to enjoy a great new experience, hearing the players talking to each others, sitting comfortably on the new fancy seats offering a great view of the football pitch. The new Juventus Stadium is a major upgrade from the previous "Stadio Olimpico".
The Juventus Stadium complex is equipped with the latest technology. It is a very modern facility and all the a
The annual festival, which drew some 100,000 attendees in 2011, has grown and evolved considerably from its inception as the Detroit Electronic Music Festival in 2000. This year, three of five stages will feature a Meyer Sound system.
"Our company was unaware of Meyer in a practical sense until we teamed up with Thunder Audio on the Movement Festival a few years ago," recalls Sam Fotias, operations manager of the Movement Electronic Music Festival and Detroit-based Paxahau Event Productions and Management. "We had tried other loudspeaker products, but nothing really gave us the raw power and, more importantly, clarity at high SPL that we were looking for until we wer
"Given the intimate nature of this tour, we decided not to bring all of our PA equipment with us, but to use either whatever the venue had to offer or to work with local rental companies," confirmed Nata
James Gosney, business development manager for audio commented, "We listened to a whole range of speakers and we were continually drawn back to the EM Acoustics products. The energy and philosophy of this small British manufacturer sits very well with our aims. We strive to deliver well designed and high quality audio and the EM range just sounds superb."
Director of sales Anna Western said, "We have had a really positive reaction from all the customers we have shown the EM Acoustics products to. The range of speakers is versatile and well thought out; we will be demonstrating a selection of the range a
Commissioned by Arjun Bahl of Most Technical India who co-ordinated production for the event, sound design was by Out Board's Dave Haydon and involved multiple surround zones running parallel 3D surround and dynamic delay-panning effects simultaneously for the dance-floor, dining room and lounge areas plus, in a global first for the TiMax system, animated surround sound installed in the luxurious men's and women's washrooms.
A separate surround system ran a continuously looping atmospheric soundscape of heartbeats, industrial sound effects and
DAS is particularly well known in the post production and recording world but has strategic plans to diversify into live and installed sound. This profile fits the Merging product range very well and mirrors the changing product mix coming from the Swiss brand, says the company.
This change brings to an end a long and successful partnership with Audio Export Georg Neumann & Co GmbH based in Heilbronn. Other brands handled by the company are mainly broadcast which is an important sector for Merging but recent product introductions have gone in other directions.
Commenting on the change, Chris Hollebone, M
This latest purchase brings SSS's EM Acoustics inventory up to an impressive 359 cabinets in all, 139 of which are now EMS-61s. According to Stage Sound Services owner and
With 12,500 fans barely seeming to notice that Turner and his backing band, The Sleeping Souls, weren't in one of their more usual theatre-sized venues, the one-off show required a large Sennheiser presence.
Regular sound and lighting supplier Nitelites provided most of the audio system at the show, just asking Adlib Audio to supply an L-Acoustics V-DOSC system. Nitelites supplied a large amount of Sennheiser equipment, including e 840 vocal microphones and e 901, 902, 904s, 905 and MK4s on the drum kit.
"I like the robustness of the 840s," says FOH engineer and tour ma
"I give a lot of attention to detail, and I wanted to create the trendiest nightspot in Alexandria," says Club 35 Manager David Boulouys. "That meant that all the elements had to be top-notch, and that is why I chose Meyer Sound."
Located at the five-star Maritim Jolie Ville Hotel in Alexandria, Egypt, Club 35 is the first franchise to branch out from Cairo's 35 Restaurant & Lounge Bar (aka Club 35 Cairo).

"The troubles we were having with our existing in-ear systems were primarily due to the LED stage we have on this tour," explains Rat. "We experienced a whole new level of interference issues. When you have the artists actually standing on an LED surface, it means the beltpack is only three feet away from the RF noise, while the transmitting antenna is maybe 30 feet away. The result was a lot of dropouts from a system that had previously been very stable. We couldn't even do frequency scan
"There are also the commercial bookings on top of that," explains technical manager Jonathon Spittlehouse, who originally specified the 36-channel desk back in 2006 when the studio moved to its present location and was brought fully under local authority control. As part of the broader Arts' Centre, Spittlehouse and his colleagues are tasked with engaging 13 - 19 year olds in projects of a variety of disciplines, which can mean the studio - and therefore the desk - is really put through its paces.
"The desk is bullet proof. We've been running it full on for six years and never had a problem. We've worn the decal on the talkb
Providing intelligibility in the arena environment was a key requirement for Bill Daly of PRG Audio's design and engineering team. Working in consultation with Meyer Sound Tech Support, Daly plotted a mono system with front-hangs of 11 M2D line array loudspeakers each and 10 M2D loudspeakers at center. Filling the vast rear portion of the oval arena were three delay hangs of eight MICA line array loudspeakers each, augmented by two CQ-2 loudspeakers for spot coverage.

The Skills Academy is all about nurturing talent and building a skilled technical workforce for the future. Orbital's initiative is being managed by Adam Thorneycroft, head of engineering, who explains why the scheme has strong appeal:
"Given the current climate, we wanted to take some positive steps to keep people interested in working in the entertainment industry.
"We always spend a lot of time researching products which is exactly what we did when we recently decided to invest in some compact digital audio consoles," commented Darren Russell, Elite's managing director. "We looked at what all the manufacturers in the market had to offer but in terms of versatility and features, we felt that Soundcraft consoles had the edge over the competition."
For Russell, one of the main selling points with the Soundcraft consoles is their ability to either take analogue inputs and outputs on the back of the console or use Cat 5 digital
SAMA CEO and Idols judge Randall Abrahams enthused that the "sound quality was outstanding" and was quick to note that the "sound management of the various performances was handled extremely professionally which led to a final product that was of a very high standard."
