Argus director, Jerry Matthews, said that a 30-year-old system had to be removed to accommodate the new Martin enclosures - which are used for music reproduction on match days. After the construction of the new Purple stand (formerly Gilbert Alsop stand), Argus were called in to bring the public address and sound reinforcement in the remainder of the stadium up to the same level. The solution was provided by 27 of Martin Audio’s Blackline F10s, assigned to five QSC 100V line amplifiers. These are all mounted individually under the stand canopies or bolted overhead in the Purple stand, which was officially opened on 23 November by Pete Waterman.
Argus were first introduced to Martin Audio’s products by a commercial audio specialist, and came face to face with the High Wycombe manufacturers at this year’s PLASA Show in London.
