UK - For two years running, Envy has won the title for Best Post-Production House at the UK Broadcast Awards. Handling projects for all the main broadcasters, the company has just opened its third facility in London's West End, featuring an open-plan reception - lounge bar space and 750sq.ft roof terrace, fitted with an Electro-Voice EviD sound system.

This is the 100th EviD fit for installer Clive Alexander of Empire Sound & Light. It is also the second installation of EviDs that he has done for Envy.

The new Foley Street facility, which has 34 offline production suites, boasts exceptional relaxation areas for its clients. Four pairs of white EviD 6.2s are wall-mounted below the roof beams in the reception and bar area, with another pair of 4.2s outside, catering for the huge roof terrace that overlooks central London. The system accepts iPod input, and operates primarily in BGM mode.

"At Envy, the EviDs have to sound musical," says Clive Alexander. "Some of the best video and audio production companies come through this facility, and they would know if the system didn't sound right. The EviDs look like they were made for this unusual space, which combines business and pleasure, and even at low levels, they still deliver a full dynamic range."
