"I immediately heard the difference in sound quality from last year," says Jelle Bleijenberg of CineMec, the cinema operator that provided the feature films for the festival. "With Leopard, the sound was far more direct, and with a good stereo image throughout the audience."
Mark Oppedijk of Aukes agrees that Leopard was a huge improvement for the festival. "This is one of our largest audio projects on a continuing basis, and Leopard performed far bet
In late August Carroccia's current Emozioni (Emotion) tour played a major outdoor show in the city of Fondi, where a comprehensive Yamaha and Nexo system was appreciated by 6000 passionate Battisti fans.
Carroccia bears an uncanny resemblance to Battisti and, alongside him, the three-hour music and speech recital in Fondi's Piazza De Gasperi featured 18 musicians and Giulio Rapetti, aka Mogol, Battisti's friend and songwriting partner from 1966 to 1981. Technical production was by Sperlonga-based Remix Sound, under the watchful eye of company boss Riccardo De Simone.

Berlin-based audio company auvisign GmbH & Co., a regular partner of event organiser Wohlthat Entertainment GmbH, chose Nexo's STM modular line array technology for the mainstage PA and extensive delay systems, supplementing them with plentiful numbers of cabinets from other ranges of NEXO such as GEO, Alpha and PS Series.

Although auvisign has used STM in several different configurations at Brandenburg Gate/Fan Meile events, this was the first time that the M46 large-format cabinets have been deployed as the main
The event, which was broadcast live by Fox on Sunday to a viewership of 11.9m viewers across the U.S., recognised achievements for the 2014 - 2015 television season.
Hosted by Brooklyn Nine-Nine star and comedian Adam Samberg, the event's big winner was HBO, which racked up 43 Emmys: more than any other network. HBO's Game of Thrones received 12 awards, including Best Drama Series, setting a new record for the most Emmy Awards received by any show in a single year.
For the duration of the event, including the 67th Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards held the week prior, p
SoundTools was started in 1996 by engineer Dave Rat, when faced with the need for a solution for troubleshooting bad mic lines during the heat of setting up a concert.

The success of CDD has helped drive demand for the controller - so much so that DX0.5 has been the most popular controller this year for Martin Audio, with just a few months of sales under its belt.
Now, Martin Audio has announced updated software for the DX0.5, with v1.0.3 now available. This latest release adds the ability to create project files with a single file containing up to 24 presets.

Subfrantic has been involved with the shows for the past five years, which this year featured singers including Mohamed Abdu, Rabeh Sakr, Majid Al Mohandes, Balquees, Ellisa, Nahwa and Shatha Hassoun. All the performances are backed by an Arabic orchestra.
"It's not an orchestra in the western sense, it features a lot of traditional Arabic instruments," says Subfrantic technical director Sean Murphy. "It's a specialised sound and the setup has to be right. As a company, we spent the past five years developing a unique understanding of these requirements."

Built between two existing main buildings and bounded by a lunch area and library, the new atrium measures 25 by 35m and has a ceiling height of 11m. "With such a ceiling height and with the reflective surfaces of the atrium it was clear the best solution would be a high quality line source column system," said system designer Bj°rn Fjeld of Norsk Lydteknikk AS.
Supported by EASE analysis, Fjeld designed a system using Community Entasys high performance loudspeakers. He explained, "To provide
Hosted in the Milano Congressi Exhibition Centre (MiCo), the keynotes covered a range of important topics relevant to installed sound design.
Following the keynotes, the delegates were taken on a tour of MiCo, Europe's largest congress centre whose entire audio signal infrastructure was upgraded in 2014 with a Yamaha-based networked solution.

"I was immediately impressed with the sound quality of CAL," says Arlen Sanders, project manager for LA Metro. "No matter where you are sitting in the audience, the sound is always present, at just the right level. It goes beyond just excellent intelligibility-you get the feeling the person is right there in front of you, even when speaking from across the room."
The prior system was prone to comb-filtering effects that impaired intelligibility and generated feedback when the system was pushed
