Westfield Shopping Centre, White City, London

ETASound Ltd, has supplied 1000 JBL control 26CT ceiling mounted loudspeakers to the latest Westfield shopping Centre project, adjacent to the BBC Television Centre in London. The speakers have been provided over a 6 month period and modified with Penton to maintain the requirements of BS5839 part 8 for Voice Alarm applications.

UK - Following a relationship with the 02 Arena extending back a decade (to its days as the Millennium Dome) experienced sound consultant and project manager, Eddie Thomas, has now extended his expertise to full-blown concert sound - with help from the Harman Pro brands.

ETA Sound is under contract to 02 Arena management AEG, not only to provide auxiliary sound reinforcement for shows taking place in the Docklands complex's premier venues - such as the NHL and NBA events - but site-wide sound system maintenance and sound providers for a raft of events such as press conferences.

The original Millennium Dome and now both 02 Arena and the smaller Indigo2 have end-to-end Harman Pro systems (including JBL Vertec loudspeakers) operating on a CobraNet backbone running HiQnet. The latest addition to ETA's rental fleet has seen further investment both in JBL's premium line array system and Soundcraft's Vi6 and Vi4 digital mixing consoles.

"During the past 10 years I've got to know the people at Harman Pro UK, and now Sound Technology, very well. I felt the time was right to invest, and although I considered and reviewed other brands, we have such a fantastic relationship with Sound Technology that it was pointless looking elsewhere," said Thomas.

n the early part of this year ETA purchased a pair of Soundcraft MH2 analogue mixing consoles and later 16 x JBL 4887 Vertec line array enclosures, with 4881 sub bass cabinets, powered by Crown IT8000 amplifiers - providing the opportunity to cover larger events in conjunction with the existing sound equipment inventory.

Now ETA Sound has added 16 Crown-powered Vertec 4888DP three-way line array loudspeakers, enabling the 16 VT4887’s to take on side-fill duties where necessary.

Rea Sound will continue to be the most prominent representative for Nexo in Ireland.

Nexo's UK sales manager Gareth Collyer comments: "These are some of the most recognisable companies in the UK industry, with top-flight track records in retail, installation, live performance and entertainment. Within the team, we have the skillsets necessary to work with consultants and architects, with professional production companies and artists, and each of these dealers has a direct line to Nexo in France to call down further systems expertise and tech support if required.

Collyer points out that Nexo loudspeaker and amplifier products are now significantly more accessible than they used to be. "You can get a demo anywhere from Glastonbury to Glasgow. This is a major expansion of Nexo's presence in the UK and applies to the range of Geo tangent-array systems as well as our compact high-SPL products like the PS Series. Any one of the new dealers will be able to call upon our new Geo S12 demo rig, which has just arrived in the UK.
