Spirolux Revive Heritage Charm with Sennheiser & Electro-Voice
The Mount Without (TMW) is a breathtaking venue in the heart of Bristol with 900 years of history. As a private venue, it's solely dedicated to providing a high-quality experience for art exhibitions, weddings, and performance events. Heritage charm, however, is not quite enough, and it's time to upgrade its technical infrastructure and audio capabilities. It needs new speakers, microphones and receivers that are sensitive to the building's historic nature but in line with modern audio needs.
Accommodating various technical components within a singular space necessitates meticulous planning. Step forward Spirolux, a production, design and events company with more than 40 years' experience in the professional AV industry. Spirolux conducts multiple site visits to gauge the venue’s acoustics, aesthetics, and logistical challenges. After extensive trials and acoustic modelling, the team can effectively determine the optimal placement for each element.
Putting the skilled team to the task, Electro-Voice and Sennheiser are quickly chosen as the suitable brands for this top-end install. To update TMW’s sound quality, the Electro-Voice’s EVID C8.2LP 8” long-through ceiling speakers are seamlessly integrated with EV’s Q44-II Class AB power amp and microphones from Sennheiser’s EW100 & EW300 series.
Known for their unparalleled sound quality and directional capabilities, the ceiling speakers are installed first and strategically positioned across the space to ensure every seat in the house has the same engaging auditory experience. The Q44-II, renowned for its clarity and reliability, gives the speakers the extra power and audio fluidity to remain constant throughout even the most demanding of performances.
Adding a layer of versatility to the installation are the Sennheiser handheld wireless mic systems. Whether it’s a corporate event, theatrical performance, or musical extravaganza, these wireless systems offer impeccable sound capture and freedom of movement to accompany the speaker system.
Since the completion of the installation, TMW has seen a significant uptick in client satisfaction and engagement. Audience members have commented on the crystal-clear sound quality, the depth of the auditory experience, and the system’s reliability.
The audio overhaul at The Mount Without is more than just an upgrade; it’s a transformation that enhances every event hosted at the venue. By harmoniously blending cutting-edge technology from trusted brands like Electro-Voice and Sennheiser, the newly installed system demonstrates how even a traditional setting can step into the future without losing an ounce of its original charm.
For those looking to create a memorable experience that resonates long after the curtains close, this installation serves as an inspiring testament to what is achievable with a keen eye for detail, a commitment to quality, and the right technical expertise.
