Marquee supplies presentation system to Time Warner Books

Marquee Audio has supplied a complete PA rig to Time Warner Books for use on their conferences. The Central London-based publishers had traditionally hired in systems to order, but realised it would be more cost-effective to actually purchase a system. Time Warner group marketing director Terry Jackson explained: "We hold two conferences a year for between 60 and 70 people which involves audio reinforcement and playing digital video clips. We felt the time was right to have our own system as hiring was getting expensive."

They thus contacted the Shepperton-based pro audio suppliers, who recommended a ‘plug and play’ presentation system based on sonic fidelity and ease of use. The set-up centres on a pair of Nexo PS-8 full range loudspeakers and LS400 compact subwoofer, powered by a Nexo PS-8 three-channel amplifier. This was supplied with a Yamaha Q2031B dual 31-band graphic EQ and mixed through a Soundcraft Spirit M8 (with eight mono and four stereo channels). Playback facilities are offered via a Tascam CDA-630 three-cassette device, and a series of Crown (lectern and condenser) and Sennheiser (UHF radio) mics completed the system. This was delivered to site along with all cable and flight casing.
