According to Simon, as a complete package GEO was "a joy to work with." He explained that the main issues of the event were to do with sight lines. "As a major televised show for the television industry it was crucial that we have a physically tiny system so that it did not interfere with sight lines either for the audience, or more importantly for the many cameras filming the show. GEO was fantastic in this respect. We had the two hangs positioned quite wide behind the lectern and stage mics so that they were out of shot for the presentations, but we still got more gain from the system than from a traditional central cluster. The directivity of the system worked really well for us we were able to achieve smooth, even coverage with plenty of level from a system small enough to pack into the back of a transit van! I'll definitely be specifying GEO again."
The system used for the National Television Awards comprised two hangs of 16 x S805 cabinets and 1 x S830 cabinets each plus a further four CD12 subs per side.
