Johns Creek United Methodist Church sanctuary’s long reverb time has made for lousy intelligibility over the last few years – that is, until dB Integrations designed and installed a new Danley Sound Labs sound reinforcement system. Acoustician Tom Danley’s patented technologies allow Johns Creek UMC’s two Danley SBH10 column-form, point-source loudspeakers to deliver phase-coherent audio to the seats, with remarkably little energy splashed on the walls. “The space itself is large: 150 feet wide by 100 feet deep, with a 40-foot balcony that spans the room,” explained Ronnie Stanford, Director of Sales and Marketing at dB Integrations. “They had some…

Having been established as a long-running Champagne bar, Perdu was moving further and further towards louder Club Nights with DJ sets – pushing the existing system beyond the limits of what it was originally designed for. County Durham based Promotion Time NE were tasked with specifying a new system that could handle the rigours of the new requirements but could be integrated within the existing cabling infrastructure and without disrupting the running of the venue during key weekend trading. KV2 Audio’s passive ESD products were deemed the ideal choice for the task, with the revolutionary built-in delay and crossover networks…
One of the most architecturally striking buildings in the city of St Joseph, the Missouri Theater is the centre of a thriving arts scene. Thanks to some public-spirited citizens, the 1200-seat former movie palace has recently been upgraded with an Alcons Audio LR7 pro-ribbon system. “This was the last stage of a long-running series of technical upgrades. My approach was that it’s ‘my’ house and I wanted to make it sound right,” said Erich. “I had introduced David to Alcons systems at InfoComm, several years previously. When he saw the theatre, he knew it was perfect for the Alcons LR7…
John Moore launched Trinity Productions in the early 1990s in response to his frustration with the lack of truly professional sound production companies in Northern California at the time. He was trying to put on a “concert in the park” series and getting little help from the companies whose sole reason for existing was to offer help to event organisers and audio engineers like himself. Flash forward 25 years, and, in addition to expanding operations into A/V integration, Trinity Productions continues to raise the bar for the audio production industry. After extensive research, Moore recently added two Ashly digiMIX18 digital…
David Farrar, General Manager for Santander Performing Arts Center, was well aware of the fact that his 2,000-seat theatre was special and would require a custom approach to achieve a consistently powerful sound that show-goers would never forget. The new Clair Brothers C8-TrueFit system had to bring out the best for a wide range of performances, from children’s shows and comedians to orchestral performances and heavy metal bands. There was no question that Santander would require a truly tailor-made sound system. After much investigation, consultation and measurement, the C8-TrueFit system, with its ability to minimize architectural reflection and anomalies,…
A total of 50 CLF Lighting Yara fixtures have been installed on the inside base of the arcs of Valencia’s iconic Umbracle Club. HFS Salamandra purchased the equipment from Proluz, CLF’s exclusive distributor for the Spanish market. The company recently purchased 12 CLF Lighting Aorun moving heads from Proluz for one of their other clubs and were blown away by the quality; testing other fixtures for Umbracle Club but again, were straight away convinced by the quality of CLF Lighting. 12 BEAM 6 also from CLF Lighting were used to replace some old fixtures on the dancefloor.
