The Wonder Of You features Elvis' voice above an orchestral score performed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. It sold 63,500 copies after being released last week.

Between 26-29October, the corner of Canal and Varick streets in New York City was bustling with space enthusiasts, virtual reality bloggers, media influencers and experience seekers vying for a spot to land on Mars. Once inside the Mars Experience, recruits climbed aboard the cable coaster virtual reality simulator and traversed the landscape of Mars prior to officially touching down.
"The cable coaster is a 6 degree of freedom rig which means it creates dynamic movement well beyond a traditional 3 degree rig. The Traditional 3 D rigs have three axes of motion: Up/Down, Left/Right, Backwards/Forwards. With our 6 degree of freedom rig, we take the same axes of motion from a

The church's Senior Pastor, Peter de Fin, who is also a former touring sound engineer, has a firm preference on the quality of manufacturer he likes to deploy. "We use quality microphones, loudspeakers and instruments so it was important to us that the console didn't become a bottleneck in process.

Collectively, the group brings an extra level of juice that comes from "having been there" when they take the stage. This was readily apparent when they performed recently at the Corona Ranch and Rodeo Grounds outside Phoenix. Keeping pace with their high-octane performance was a searing nonstop lightshow created by John Garberson, using a collection of fixtures from Chauvet Professional.
Garberson, owner of Creative BackStage, used a collection of 24 Rogue R2 washes, eight Maverick MK2 Spots and four STRIKE 4 multi formatted warm white LED fixtures to turn the Stageline 260 stage at

"I had been wearing customs the past few years, a top brand, and I thought they sounded fine," says Conor. "But the fit was a bit awful, with very little isolation. So I did some research and asked around the industry for what to try next. It was clear that Sensaphonics was a company I needed to check out. I ended up talking with their audiologist, Heather Malyuk. She came down to our gig
This involved the deployment of 78 x main d&b loudspeakers and 32 sub cabinets at the main stage location in Albert Square, plus another 35 speakers and 21 x subs which provided local sound systems for five relay LED screen positions at key strategic points along the parade route.
Working for organisers Manchester City Council, the tube team of 19 noize boyz and girlz was led by Melvyn Coote and worked solidly in shifts for 36 hours before the event to ensure that everything was set up and sounded great, then de-rigged quickly, efficiently and effectively in order to minimise disruption to the pub

Area Four Industries (A4i) is the world's largest manufacturer of modular aluminium truss and staging systems, with major brand production facilities (MILOS, LITEC, TOMCAT & JTE) located strategically around the globe working in close partnership with specialist design & distribution centres worldwide.

Earlier this year, The Warehouse was named the sole UK distributor for Adamson. Already one of the largest suppliers of pro-audio equipment in the UK, The Warehouse opened a third branch in the North of England together with sales and support based in London.

Derek Blair, director of The Warehouse, comments, "The loudspeaker market has seen a rapid shift in focus over the l
Established in 2010 by owner Gaurav Malvai, the move into pro-audio distribution was a natural extension to his activities as a high-profile DJ and music producer, which had led him to establish a successful sound equipment rental company. Growing demand for his products and expertise subsequently generated an opportunity to add a sales service to his numerous markets and the company's distribution portfolio has continued to expand.
Gaurav comments, "Having heard Outline products at various locations around the world I knew that I wanted them for my own business. As it happens the timing was just right since the company were seeking new distribution in India and I am thrilled to have become part of their family."
He continues, "One o
As with TV Burp that ended in 2012, Tea Time is sprinkled with all hallmarks you would expect from the mind of Harry Hill. In each episode Harry is joined by a celebrity guest to assist him in the kitchen as he presents a master class in classics such as chicken a la Tom Jones and sponge finger prison. In between such gastronomic delights, there are the TV clips from the celebrities past tossed with the usual Harry Hill flair as well as inane games and celebrity impersonations.
The first episode was a smorgasbord of comedy and farce featuring Paul Hollywood, who joined Harry for Greek Night. In between BGT favourites Stavros Flatley dancing in to music from
