White Light's business development manager, Jonathan Haynes, led the project. "After a number of onsite product demonstrations, it quickly became apparent that the EM Acoustics system was ideally suited to their requirements as it provided the flexibility they required in order to handle the wide variety of events and functions held at Thorpe Park."
White Light supplied a full EM Acoustics system comprising 20 HALO-C line array elements, eight MSE-218 subs, three AQ-10 and 4 AD-9 amplifiers in addition to eight M-C12 monitor speakers.
EM Acoustics provided comprehensive onsite training for Thorpe Park's technical team in order to familiarise them with their new system and to explain how it can quickly be upscaled for larger, one-off events. Indeed, the system can easily be supplemented by the hire of additional boxes from White Light's rapidly growing rental inventory of EM Acoustics equipment.
According to Thorpe Park's Entertainments technical coordinator, Martin Swain, the installation has been a complete success. "We had a great experience working with White Light," he commented. "They were extremely understanding when it came to our needs and not only worked within our budget but provided the necessary solutions to any issues we faced. We're delighted with both the equipment and the service provided by all concerned."
