Intended primarily as a development and performance space for dance, the £3.3m Bournemouth Borough Council and Arts Council England project had to be able to host an array of events, including interactive workshops, film showings, conferences, theatre and live music. This is a not-uncommon demand nowadays, to maximise a venue's incoming revenue and make the most of the investment. A Yamaha DME64N was chosen to allow Pavilion Dance's audio system to be used for a range of purposes, yet keeping it very simple to operate.
The venue is located in a formerly-disused part of the town's Pavilion Theatre. Because
"The addition of Kara to our stock was led very much by customer demand," says Thames Audio's project manager James Tebb. "We had a number of clients who were specifying line array systems for their events. Having worked with a number of different systems, our preference stood very much with L-Acoustics, and we used dV-DOSC systems on a number of UK events, tours and festivals."
Following the success of these events, Thames Audio arranged a visit to L-Acoustics to listen to the new Kara system. "We were immediately impressed with the system as a whole," continues Tebb. "The Kara is an obvious progression of the dV-DOSC system. Sonically it has the 'L-Acoustics Sound', which has made earlier systems such as dv-DOSC a preferred choice for many

Throughout the company's various properties, his responsibilities include consultation, design, and installation of all sound systems as well as system maintenance and mixing for live and special events. Paul recently completed the installation of new loudspeaker systems at several properties, including Laundry, Italiannies, Malones, and T.G.I. Fridays. He discussed each system.

Proprietor of Koroll and experienced sound engineer, Philippe Guillo comments, "I decided some time ago that I wanted to invest in some new stage monitors to replace my old d&b inventory - I just hadn't found what I was looking for.

For the MTV-BAM stage (larger of the two), production sound company Barcelona-based Focus supplied an EAW speaker system comprising 12 KF760 Long-Throw Line Array Modules, four KF730 Compact Line Array Modules and eight SB730 Compact Line Array Subwoofers per side, all under the control of UX8800 Digital Signal Processors.
Due to the large listening area that had to be covered, Focus designed the system to project the low frequencies, taking advantage of the omni-d
VCM is an exclusive Yamaha digital technology, enabling engineers to achieve "remarkable sonic performance" by modelling the individual characteristics of many of the components which contribute to the final sound of original analogue circuitry.
VCM recreates the sound and characteristics of several classic compression and EQ units and tape machines from the 1970s, which are available on most current Yamaha digital mixers. It was developed by an engineering group led by Mr. Kunimoto, a senior engineer who developed the first physical modelling synthesisers, the VL1 and VP1.
Rupert Neve has embraced Yamaha VCM as the first digital technology that can accurately reproduce his renowned ana

"I have been using the D1 and D5 for the last couple of years, but the size of this tour gave me the opportunity to work with the SD7 and it has been a very pleasing experience," says FOH engineer Mads Mikkelsen.

With no previous files to install, Jones's first task was to build the entire show from scratch for an artist who draws on an extensive repertoire for his sets where, according to Jones, no two shows are ever the same. But the basic show with 20 or so scenes was ready to go pretty quickly, and his final set up encompassed some 45 scenes.
Savage, who has completed in-house training at Midas, helped with the initial set up. Utilising the XL8's flexible modular system, they decided on three DL431 splitter units to create a total of 72 available channels plus an isolated split to allow for any outside
