ESL's Mike Glover took the company's brand new KV2 Audio sound system to the event, which had been purchased just a week before following a demonstration at this year's PLASA show. The System was made up of ES1.8 subs, ES2.5 bass and the ES1.0 mid/high cabinets - all driven by KV2's EPAK amplifier/processing package. Glover says: "Even though we had not used the system in a large venue or in a live situation I had complete faith in what the equipment was capable of producing. We have had long discussions with Andy Austin-Brown from KV2 and this gave me the confidence to use the system for such a high profile event without any previous experience with the equipment. On the night, the system exceeded all expectations, and I am very pleased with the decision to invest in the KV2 system. I'm sure more of the KV2 equipment will be on our hire stock list in the very near future."
The lighting system was made up of both intelligent and conventional fixtures. The intelligent lighting used included a number of fixtures from Robe Show Lighting - six ColourSpot 1200ATs, two Spot 575XTs, two Wash 575XTs and four Spot 250XTs. These were backed up by a number of Par cans and Jem smoke machines. All of the lighting was controlled via an Avolites Pearl 2004 control desk.
ESL Hire is experienced in both large and small scale corporate and private events on a nationwide basis, as well as having an extensive installation division.
