Ashford International Hotel & Spa (Ashford, England) transformed for the very first EMPOWER Gala, a celebration of success.
Local production company Kent Media Group was contracted to provide full AV, lighting and audio production for the event, including the deployment of a ground-stacked HORIZON system, comprising 6x VHA 406ND active line array and 4x VHA 118SND active subwoofer cabinets, all with Dante built-in and controlled with FBT's innovative INFINITO - System Management Suite control software.
"As far as versatility and practicality go, this was the ideal system for us and it's certainly justified the upgrade over the last couple jobs - tonight was definitely no exception!" were the remarks from company director, Jack Wilson, when asked about his use cases for HORIZON.
Configuring and monitoring the HORIZON system is simple with a dedicated network for the Infinito software control, allowing easy cabinet configurations, EQ adjustments, monitoring driver load and power draw, delay, polarity and temperature monitoring to name a few of the capabilities of the software.
"Infinito control on these cabinets made the world of difference when it came to configuring the PA for the event." Jack added. "Even down to details like EQing groups instead of individual cabinets, or setting up delays on larger scale systems. I can see this already integrating with what we do, mainly for the centralised control of an already scalable PA system".
