Utilizing a selection of its extensive Turbosound stock, Britannia Row distributed the sound system throughout six arches, as well as the main area and the foyer. All the equipment was linked via BSS Sound Web, using the ducking system for announcements from Capital Radio DJs. Two each of Turbosound’s TQ-440 enclosures were flown in two arches, four in two others, whilst two Floodlight systems, and four QLight TQ-425SP units were distributed in the ‘Monster’s Headquarters’, along with two flown TQ-440SPs which were used for delay.
Britannia Row’s Jim Alexander - who has worked previously with AD Design on other premiers including Moulin Rouge and Tobacco Dock - commented: "To combat the acoustics of each arch, we flew the QLight in mono pairs in the centre of each arch, which were then time-delayed to the main system via Soundweb."
