In Brighton, Green-I has assigned four independent BLU-16's to drive the seven karaoke rooms. "Soundweb London looks after the user interface, the volume controls for the wireless mics and reverb effects," says Green-I's Ian Woodall. "Mic mixing (of both wireless and wired) inputs are carried out via Soundweb's automatic levelling to avoid any feedback, while all the 'intelligence' in each pod is created using the system's Logic programming. The challenge was to get all the mic frequencies operable within an intimate space."
Green-I supplied all the touch screens, microphones, loudspeakers and amplification. They also introduced IT specialists IdeasAnvil, who in addition to providing IT support for the company, carry out online system monitoring and provide system alerts.
Managing director Mark Scott said his company also specified the PCs and video output hardware, servers, network equipment and monitoring equipment. The karaoke system runs Lucky Voice's bespoke software, sending MP3 and CDG files, while background music is provided from a C-Burn Revolution music server.
David Hampshaw, Lucky Voice's operations manager, says: "We are trading from 3pm to 2am seven days a week so we needed durable equipment, and the site has been problem-free, with no crashes."
