Pod Bluman of PSL Music, who has been actively involved in guerilla projection for the last few years, supervised the technical aspects of the event, which involved projection of Hexstatic imagery onto the arc-shaped water screen. The screen used water pumped from the Thames itself to provide a screen for the projection, creating eerie and atmospheric visuals floating above the dark river.

The 1500 capacity venue in Camden Town features an integrated Harman Pro audio reinforcement system, incorporating JBL, Crown, BSS, and dbx brands, and providing all speaker cabinets and arrays, signal control, processing and amplification throughout. At the heart of the system is a 28 kW front of house JBL Vertec Line Array system.
Famous throughout the 1980s as The Camden Palace, the venue was reopened by the Mint Group in September last year as KOKO, after undergoing a major refurbishment, which saw the former Victorian vaudeville theatre restored to its full former glory and lavish style.
A major part of the work involved designing an integrated sound syste
KLA Laboratories of nearby Dearborn has served as the Palace's sole audio systems contractor from its inception and recently undertook a revamp of the 17-year-old sound system. Working closely with the Harman Pro Group, KLA recommended that a full Harman system be specified - JBL loudspeakers, over 150,000 watts of Crown power, and a 32-mono-/4-stereo-channel Soundcraft Series FIVE mixing console.

Officially opened on September 15, Barfly Birmingham incorporates two rooms, both of which have been equipped with Noise Control's proprietary speakers. The company was also responsible for adjusting the venue's acoustics to improve overall sound quality and for specifying and supplying all other audio equipment used throughout the club.
Steve Stavrinides, director of sales for Noise Control, says: "For this particular venue we installed our new NFA concert system, which has gone through several revamps over the past few years and has now had its final jacket fitted. Barfly Birmingham is the first club to have the new NFA Series installed as a permanent installation."

The MR88 is billed as an effective solution for a variety of audio installations where multiple microphones are in use together and where there is a need to eliminate the requirement of a live operator. The mixer is based on the successful MR66 and includes a number of new features which have been developed following feedback from Clockaudio clients.
The MR88 incorporates advanced DSP technology and has been designed to give outstanding performance and flexibility while maintaining simplicity of set-up and use. Eight input channels, fully adjustable for microphone and line level, can be set up to be put on to either or both of the two output channels.

The list of artists stepping up to assist the intimate 260-capacity room is quite impressive, including many old-school acts like the Misfits, Dead Boys, Circle Jerks, and The Exploited mixed in with newer talent like Ted Leo, Thursday, Chevelle, and numerous others. As expected, all benefit shows so far have been completely sold out with
RCF Monitor speakers were specified for the project. In total, they used 34 MR55 and 14 MR88 in white plus 4 MSW subs. The designers had specified a lighting system that would "literally shed a new light on the building's interior" so any loudspeakers were required to blend in with the environment.
Pro3&Co's Xavi Oliver commented "We were very proud to be involved in such a prestigious project. In bringing the building back to life, the design team had set
The sale comes 33 years after the company was established by Tony and Sandra Cockell. However, it does not mark Tony and Sandra's exit from the business. "We are delighted to say that both Tony and Sandra are going to stay with Formula Sound and that the company is to continue unchanged," says Barry Penaligon of GES, who will now take up the position of General Manager with Formula Sound.
"Sandra and I felt it was time to bring some new blood into the company, and the plans which GES has for the future of Formula Sound form a natural continuation of all the work we h

The hotel has installed the Bosch Praesideo Voice Alarm System. Most of the installation work was carried out by local reseller, ANB which has been operating in Poland since 1992.

Another, more familiar looking product, the HDX, was launched at the show and looks and operates like a vinyl turntable except the HDX is actually a tabletop HD/CD/MP3 player. The 12" platter is used as a normal turntable, but other controls allow any track from the removable 80Gb hard disk drive to be selected and mixed as if it were on vinyl. The HDX also boasts an ultra-high torque direct drive motor (for that real turntabl
Blue Microphones is a new brand to be seen under the wing of Electro-Voice. The retro appearance of the Cardinal and Raven mics is deceptive; these are derivatives of Blue's experience in producing high quality studio mics, but are aimed at live (but not high sound level) applications.
