According to EAW systems application specialist Steve Badham, the key criterion for the audio installation was flexibility. Comprising three bars and two performance spaces of 750 capacity (1500 capacity when combined) as well as shops an
Macon-based Total Systems Audio, Video, and Consulting have supplied vast amounts of technical equipment to the Church; no coincidence as their managing director is also the Church's technical director.
Recently the Church took delivery of a LSC Lighting Systems maXim LP console and are getting ready to purchase a maXim XXLP through LSC's USA dist
Lighting designer Stevie Marr has worked with the band for two years, and uses Adlib as his lighting supplier because, he says: "The service is excellent, they have the right attitude and the crew are always great - it's crew that really make a tour at the end of the day!"
For this stretch of the tour, he wanted all lighting sources to be at a low level, to give an edgy look that reflected the band's increasingly raw and harsh style of playing and their relentless energy. He also wanted them to be seen at all times, and so opted for an 'almost-floor' based rig, with a front truss used solely to provide key lighting positions.

Each of these seminars lasted one day. Both were opened by Lothar Weimann the head of D.A.S. Audio Deutschland, who gave a presentation of the firm via the corporate video. Joan La Roda, D.A.S. audio engineer provided the attendees with the presentation "How line array work" which explains the line array theory and expands into the technical characteristics and applications of such systems. This was followed by a presenta
Lighting designer/director Jason Cain (who also handled video operation duties) specified 20 Alpha Spot HPE 1200 luminaries for his lighting rig. "I chose the Alpha Line because of their light weight and bright output," Cain explains. "It was also nice to have two rotating gobo wheels, and the fixed wheel as well. I was able to achieve multi-layering of the gobos to produce different lighting effects."
The Clay Paky Alpha Spots were put into a moving light pre-rig that was built by Xtreme Structures. Any concerns Cain had about the lights' magnetic wheels holding
HSL's production manager Mike Oates comments: "We've been looking at serious high powered search lights for some time now, and both myself and Howard Dean have watched the A&O Lighting brand develop in Europe with interest. When Nick first mentioned he wanted to use them on the tour I was straight on to Marco Niedermeier [MD of A&O] to see if the units where available, which luckily they were! It was a pleasure to work with Nick, Phil and Neil from Electric Fly on this tour - from a suppliers point of view, they makes things very simple."
The influential Glasgow "post rock" band have been on a world tour since the start of

By utilising a dense, new, extremely low-resonance material called LRIM, Klein + Hummel was able to mould the waveguides required for optimal dispersion directly into the baffle. The elliptical shape of the high-frequency horn makes the dispersion angle in the vertical plane more narrow thus reducing the amount of early reflections off the console surface which would otherwise interfere with the direct sound from the sp
Working for communications agency, Cricket, to a high-class design from James Grey Design, the team at Stage One transformed the room. The work included trimming and cladding existing bookshelves and producing a number of graphic panels, which were then inserted amongst them. Several false walls were built, one to house two 50 inch plasma screens and one to create aproduction control room, both of which required trim detail, skirting etc. Finally a cable trough was built to run between the two new walls, which was designed to blend in with the existing hotel walls.

Lighting designer James Campbell was given the task of lighting the new series: "The brief was to recognise and produce the traditional Mastermind look, with a suggestion of different architecture, like the different locations they used in the original series."
The Lighting rig is made up of 20 MAC 500s and one Stage Zoom 1200.
"The central image to the show is the iconic chair, where I use an intense arrangement of moving lights (the MAC 500s). The background is kept black with the multi-dimensional beams in striking shades of blue."

Having been a preferred supplier of audio-visual services to the award-winning Brewery for the past seven years, the London event services company PSL was the ideal candidate to handle the design and installation of new production facilities. "PSL is familiar with the building, and we're very comfortable with PSL," says Lawson. "They've led the design process throughout but we've been closely involved, especially when it came to the replacement of the sound system."
The Brewery has worked closely with PSL and the Corporation of London on
For the evening line-up of DJs at the Grosser Stern, a number of conditions had to be met. At the Column, the organisers wanted powerful 360° sound coverage, evenly dispersed but without exceeding the pre-determined volume limit of 105dB(A). As the view from the Victory Column to both the east and the west was to be as unrestricted as possible, the structures needed for mounting the loudspeakers had to be kept very simple.
For the DJ stages at the east and west sides, a higher level of amplification was planned, which was to be integrated into the overall sound reinforc

The History Boys, a multi award winning play by English playwright Alan Bennett, originally opened two years ago at the Lyttelton. After touring the UK, and then internationally, it enjoyed a successful run on Broadway earlier this year. Another UK tour kicked off this past August - this time with Martin's tungsten halogen wash as an important element of the rig. The History Boys will play at Wyndham's Theatre in the West End before the TW1s settle into the Lyttelton.
