Ian Byrom, project manager, picks up the story. "We first heard the EX 10's at PLASA and from that point arranged a demo in a venue local to us, the Newcastle City Hall. At that demo we were amazed by the clarity and throw of such small boxes even in such a large hall, and knew immediately that they would fit the bill in satisfying our more discerning conference clients.
Being individually powered they are also incredibly flexible, and if required we can easily delay certain areas without the need to use lots of additional amplifiers and speaker cables. Similarly for breakout rooms they provide an excellent plug and play solution. I'm convinced that this product that will become an industry standard for the AV and conference presentation market, but as innovators I'm glad we came to the table early and are leading the way in terms of discreet high quality audio in our presentations."
No sooner did the boxes arrive than Byrom put them to the test, the first event being the 2005 North East Sports Awards, televised by Tyne Tees Television.
Byrom continued: "The boxes were great, I usually use around a dozen boxes on this show but this year only deployed the eight EX10's and to be honest probably could have done it with six! All the boxes were flown on one of the LX Trusses and the coverage was fantastic."
