The highlight of the evening was a performance by Singapore's premier large-scale jazz ensemble, the 16-piece Thomson Big Band. iLive-T managed audio requirements for the evening, which included the band and several speeches by presenters and guests.
The Production People's Sheldon Gooi was very pleased with his recent purchase and impressed by how easy the system is to set up with just one Cat 5 cable in pla
"We've always got on really well with both our point source Venue units and the fixed curvature VRX line array, which for its size and weight performs tremendously," says Downer. "But as a company, we were being asked to tender on bigger events, which clearly required a more appropriate solution."
He continues: "We considered several other options, but as most of our existing fleet is JBL, it made very practical sense to choose a product which we could easily integrate with our older stock. We're really comfortable with the product, It's very plea

Lindsay-Johnson was formerly managing director of Harman Pro UK. He commented on his appointment, "Studiomaster has a substantial pro-audio heritage, stretching back to the mid 1970s, and is a well-respected name worldwide. My appointment coincides with the brand's re-launch, and I couldn't be joining the company at a more dynamic time in its history.
"Studiomaster has been re-organised, new products have been designed, and it's on track to
"Whether the Commission's new 'White Spaces' rules successfully protect incumbent operations, including particularly wireless microphone operations, in this challenging spectrum environment is a matter determined by the specific details of the FCC's rules. It is imperative that these rules provide sufficient protection when actually implemented in real world environments," said Mark Brunner, senior director of industry and public relations for Shure. "It is critical that the FCC's technical and operational rules -- including pre-certification testing rules -- 'get it right' before mass produced equipment is pushed into the market."
Toward that end, Shure urged in its filing that the Commission impose
In addition to product training sessions, the Swansea event was the first opportunity for RSS dealers to see the new M-48 Live Personal Mixer in action. Launching at the ProLight+Sound show tomoorow, this innovative monitoring solution offers the performing musician control over 40 audio sources that can be easily managed in 16 assignable stereo groups.
"The M-48 is the logical progression for the current suite of RSS stage sound control and mixing products," explains Peter Heath, general manager of RSS, "and this was a great chance to show our UK dealers the detail of the product as well as how it integrates into t

Woodstock Reprise - Michael Lang, the co-founder of the legendary 1969 Woodstock festival, is reportedly seeking sponsors for a 40th anniversary reprise in New York City. "The chances that something will happen are probable," he told the Times. "But I don't really have the answer yet as to what that will be." Central Park has been suggested as a possible location for the event. The Who were among the acts who played at the original concert, which took place in Bethel, New York State. A 30th anniversary concert
Carlo Lastrucci, Powersoft's president commented, "We acknowledge the efforts put in by Sennheiser UK to promote our brand and technology in the United Kingdom, however, given the current difficult economic situation, we have agreed that a change of approach to the market would be beneficial to both parties."
Sennheiser UK's general manager, Phil Massey stated, "I would like to take this opportunity to thank Powersoft for their assistance over the period of our association. However, we will not be strangers to Powersoft technology in the future, as it is integrated into other products that we distribute, namely Klein + Hummel and K-array power amplification. So, Powersoft will still have a presence here at Sennheiser UK as we continue to develop an
San Francisco-based Budda Amplification will continue to serve its customers and design USA-built guitar amplification and effects products.

"Peavey has perfected high-quality manufacturing in the US," said Ken Johnson, CEO of Budda Amplification. "We approached Peavey because it makes sense to partner with a company whose strengths are complementary. With Peavey, we will be able to meet th
"There were several demands that led us to choose d&b audiotechnik equipment for the sound technology courses," said John Attewell chief technician at LIPA. "On the one hand we were looking for two systems identical in performance, and of professional scale. We've had an in house PA system for some time, but not one that meets that last parameter. The choice of C7-TOPs and SUBs gives us that ability as well as being useful in the wider context,
This new partnership between sE and Rupert Neve Designs completes a natural progression from the manufacturing project the two companies have been working on together for the last three years to produce microphone products within the new sE Rupert Neve Signature Series.
"There is a natural synergy developing between our two companies," says sE Electronics' James Young, "both on a product level and a personal level that has enabled us to produce, in a relatively short time, a truly world class piece of microphone technology with the sE RNR1 active ribbon microphone, and with more products to follow very shortly. This partnership of ideas has been so successful that it seemed a very clear

The competitively priced SL series is aimed at the mobile and fixed installation markets and offers the complete package of reliability, high-output, high-efficiency and Dynacord performance. T
The Gold Souk features a 75ft diameter domed super high-resolution projection screen (designed by Salt Lake City-based Evans and Sutherland Digital Theaters Group) raised 40ft above the floor, which necessitated powerful and clear audio. The design of the area presented acoustical challenges, all of which were met with a custom system featuring EAW AX Series Loudspeakers and some architectural solutions. The system was designed by Indianapolis, IN-based firm Bowen Technovation.

Blackpool Pleasure Beach approached A.C. to specify and supply a powerful, durable sound system for the water show. The system needed to be able to withstand both the wet environment and high ambient noise levels emanating from the surrounding restaurant district. Knowing KV2 Audio had previously manufactured loudspeakers to such high levels of durability, A.C. Audio sales manager Peter Butler turned to KV2 with the brief.
"The reliability o

QSC director of entertainer solutions Ray van Straten states, "The K Series has been designed entirely without compromise, from the ground up. QSC has departed from convention and at the same time exploded a myth that smaller woofers must equate to lower performance.
"Competitors will typically use the highest power amplifier and the best quality drivers in the largest format model, while designing their smaller format models with lower power amplification and lesser performing components. This allows them to reduce the price of the smaller models, further propagating the myth that a smaller woofer enclosure necessitates lower performance."
He continues, "Apart from using the same amp module across the line, we are also using the same quality
