Bertie Hunter, technical director at Noise Control Audio (NCA), comments, "The event side of NCA has really taken off this year with lots of high profile bookings, and we knew we needed to buy a good quality mixing desk. NCA have spent 10 years making some of the purest sounding speakers in the industry. We are extremely picky about every element in the PA chain and we needed to be just as picky with the choice of mixing desk.
"JP (Cavaco, sales manager) from LMC London and Rob (Hughes , UK customer support manager at Midas & Klark Teknik) came down to demo the desk for us and from the moment we heard the audio come out of the desk we knew it would be perfect to driv

"I'm a big DiGiCo fan and I've been using their flagship SD7 for a long time," says Marsh. "When I started working with Ed, I had just finished working with Diana Ross, where I was using an SD7. I wanted to continue using it because I love everything about it: the EQ; the way all the dynamics work, etc. I also really like the SD range's onboard effects, which are really useful. But it would be overkill to take a desk that big out with a solo artist such as Ed."

D.A.S. Audio systems were set up in the Nørresundby Sports Centre to help make Aalborg's post-race Oktoberfest-inspired celebration - complete with delicious food, free-flowing beer, boxing and a comedy act by famous Danish comedian Frank Hvam-the perfect way for the roughly 1200 participants to top off the day's challenge.

R1, R2 and R6 loudspeakers are able to provide the full bandwidth and high-level music and voice reproduction required in venues such as stadia, sports facilities and convention centres. With EN54-24 certification, installations will no longer need to install a separate voice evacuation system for listening areas covered by these R-Series loudspeakers. This can result in substantial cost savings for projects.
Chris Barrow, Community's product manager, explains this advantage, "While specifiers and contractors have previously had to consider the use of non-EN54-24 loudspeakers with 'special application exemptions' to design an ef

'"The MLA momentum is building and we knew that once Chris got to hear the system he would go for it," says Capital's general manager Paul Timmins. "But because of the band's hectic schedule in Australasia and North America, we had a problem simply getting him in front of it."

"Riedel helped us with a very reliable Intercom and we are very happy with it. At the end you want to entertain the sick children and make life a bit more easy on them. Not to worry about technical issue helps a lot. "

The show's sound designer, Gareth Owen, offered a rational explanation of why this might be: "Let It Be is very different from the typical juke box musical to which we've become accustomed; think of it more as a proper concert. There is no contrived knitting together of lyrics to weave a narrative; however it would be wrong to say it is without drama. The drama comes from the mix of a faithful live rendition of original material coupled with video footage of the band."
Owen was first approached by producer Jamie Hendry just over a year ago; he has been w
