An invited audience of leading theatre consultants, audio system designers and touring companies attended the 2350 capacity, Grade II listed venue to hear POLARaudio demonstrate the three ranges. The HMV Forum was specifically chosen for the event as it is a multi-purpose venue with architecturally and acoustically challenging features.
Technical director at POLARaudio Jon Stanley led the demonstrations, showcasing the new ICL-Single, ICL-Dual along with IC7 mechanically steerable array, IC8, 16, 24 and 32 digitally steerable line array and the IC Live portable and fixed installation products. Also demonstrated were the Dynacord XA2 System and digital networking from XTA and MC² Audio's Ti Series.
Jon Stanley Commented, "This event has been a fantastic opportunity for industry experts to hear the tangible benefits of beam steering technology against point source, mechanically steered or line array loudspeakers in a real situation. With this fabulous venue we were able to demonstrate how the Renkus-Heinz pioneering beam steering technology actually works and hear it in action.
"We all know Renkus-Heinz are synonymous with outstanding musicality and performance, through IC Live we can now offer this level of performance in a small, highly compact and technically accurate way. We look forward to continuing our tour and hope more engineers can join us at similar venues across the country."
