UK - Autograph Sales Ltd, the UK's leading professional audio distributor, has supplied and installed a range of loudspeakers cabinets from EM Acoustics for England's groundbreaking Eden Project, Cornwall. The system was initially supplied for A Time of Gifts, a season of events that celebrated Christmas and other global festivals, all of which share many common themes. The events take place in the Warm Temperate Biome, and include the long awaited official Eden Project soundtrack First Breath. The soundtrack, which utilises the newly installed EM Acoustics system, is accompanied by a live performance three times a week - alongside a projected film journey.

Due to the size of the Biome, Mike Mann, Autograph Sales' project consultant, together with Lucy Gaskell, Eden Project's consulting technical manager, selected the 13 cabinets from EM Acoustics. EMS-81s, an EMS-121 and I-8 mini subs have been employed, the latter for its incredible low frequency response, which compliments Jim Carey's newly composed soundtrack. MC2 T-Series amplifiers provide power for the system. The speakers are all hidden in and around the foliage, making them blend harmoniously into the natural surroundings. Mann comments, 'I've thoroughly enjoyed working on this venture, The Eden Project, the technical team and the exhibit itself are all inspiring. I look forward to seeing what's next in store for their EM Acoustics system, in this magical corner of Cornwall.'
