The destination for the Alpha E B1-18 bass enclosures and EM mid tops was the multi-room Tower Ballroom at Blackpool Tower for owners Leisure Parks. "The owners needed the extra bandwidth and wanted to put the old 32ft pipe organ through it," explained Arran. "And so we recommended the Alpha E."
The company specified two Alpha B1-18s and three EMs per side, processed through the dedicated NX-241 system controller. 12 Nexo PS8s act as delays (positioned two per side, on each of the three balcony levels), EQ’d through a four-channel Ashly Protea. The main system is driven by four Camco Vortex amplifiers and tbe PS8s are powered through three PS8 dedicated amplifiers. "This has given us more power and more control, and provides great coverage across the 3,500-capacity ballroom," says Arran.
