The Brands and Products

If there is one name that defines the heights of professionalism scaled by

the modern pro audio industry then it is JBL. It has dominated all its core

integration sectors — from the world’s leading nightclubs and cinemas to just about every

commercial and industrial install segment. JBL Installed Sound products offer a range without

equal, from the legendary VerTec and VRX high output line array systems to the extraordi-

nary value of the ubiquitous Control Contractor Series and the ultimate accuracy of the JBL

Precision Directivity Series. With a pedigree based on 60 years’ experience, no other

manufacturer provides a wider or more comprehensive range of solutions, designed to deliver

fail-safe results on commercial audio projects of any scale - from the smallest rooms to the

world’s most celebrated venues.

Another Harman Pro company with over 60 years’ experience, Crown

International has become one of the world’s most respected manufactur-

ers of professional power amplifiers, having continuously delivered new benchmarks in

design. Crown’s CTs Series amplifiers has become first choice for many integrators since they

provide exceptional performance, flexibility and value. Easy integration with HiQnet and

CobraNet allows CTs to deliver a comprehensive lineup of system monitoring and control

features — providing operational peace of mind — along with digital audio transport.

Crown’s Commercial Audio series includes low cost mixer-amplifiers, preamplifier mixers and

power amplifiers which provide basic but essential tasks throughout the commercial and

industrial worlds. These units provide all the necessary building blocks for simple paging,

BGM and security systems in retail, workplace, school and fitness environments where

networked audio is not necessary. Further up the power spectrum the famous Macro-Tech

and new I-Tech HD provide an industry reference.

Before digital came along, and the BSS Soundweb could be run on scalable

CobraNet/Ethernet highways, BSS crossovers and dynamic processing had

redefined the reference for analogue processing racks for several decades. Soundweb has

now empowered contractors and integrators who can easily configure (and change) network

patterns. The new generation Soundweb London BLU series is equipped to meet the flexible

demands of high-profile installations, recording studios and professional musicians with a

choice of input / output cards. Whether the high bandwidth audio networking of a digital

audio bus is required, CobraNet compatibility, DSP capability, input / output expansion or a

specific mix of functionality, Soundweb will create a tailor-made system. Control interfaces

include easy integration with third-party solutions, all deployed within the intuitive, easy-to-

use HiQnet London Architect™ software. Today, BSS’s expertise has been leveraged into the

best-sounding digital signal processing algorithms available, creating a genuine industry

standard.

Audio Networking (Soundweb)

dbx Professional Products started out with the dream of getting closer to the

realism of a live performance, by basing its early products on the concept of

decibel expansion (hence the name!). Back in1971 the legendary family of dbx noise reduc-

tion systems suited the studio environment. But dbx has since introduced a whole range of

dynamics and processing tools. dbx ZonePro™ products provide sophisticated DSP and

multiple control interfaces in commercial audio applications, while maintaining a simple,

secure and intuitive interface. The graphic interface and Wizard function allow any

contractor to quickly (and simply) set up and optimise the unit to its full potential. The legacy

of the classic DriveRack series, which has redefined the standard of advanced signal process-

ing, continues, along with the vast range of classic dbx analogue compressors and EQs and

top-of-line Blue series products make up a compelling range.

Soundcraft’s innovative Vi6/Vi4 platform has quickly become known as the

ultimate ‘transition’ desk for sound engineers making the move from analogue

to digital. Well into its fourth decade the familiar Soundcraft brand name, signature sound

and desk ergonomics continue to provide both resident house technicians and touring sound

engineers with consummate reassurance, extending their digital platform with the Si3 and

Si2. In the analogue world Soundcraft’s best-selling dual-mode MH and GB series multi-pur-

pose consoles combine professional facilities and sound quality with exceptional value. These

consoles are ergonomically designed, achieving optimum performance from compact frames.

With a choice of 6, 8, 12 and 20 mono input frame sizes, the EPM, EFX, MPMi and MFXi series

mixers encompass a massive range of applications at the lower end of the market — from

municipal halls to educational environments, while the brand continues to remain a by-word

in the broadcast and recording worlds.

AKG’s portfolio of classic condenser microphones over the past 60 years

remains legendary. With 100% transparency and intelligibility as their mission

AKG today has a wide range of wired and wireless systems to suit any budget, scale and

application, from studio, broadcast and recording through to stage, installed and conference;

they are easy to install and unobtrusive in appearance. The GN, GN E and GN ESP gooseneck

mics offer key requirements of modularity, reliability and low profile, while the AKG CS 5 also

allows users to create a custom system for any conference application. AKG wireless mics have

been designed to fulfill projects of any scale. The WMS 4500 and IVM 4 are HiQnet

compatible, allowing configuration and cotrol from a central PC. The DMS 700 is the first

professional digital wireless system offering a cleaner audio path, extra wide frequency

bandsand encrypted transmission for sensitive applications.

Sports Stadia and Arenas

Nowhere is the world-class performance and reliability of Harman Pro products more

critical than in constructing the giant communications networks of sports stadia and arenas.

Thanks to a platform of superior performance and total product integration Harman solutions

have been preferred by some of the world’s most famous venues. In the UK alone Harman

Professional products can be found at Emirates Stadium, Old Trafford, Ricoh Stadium,

St. James’ Park, Wembley Stadium, Stamford Bridge and most recently Burnley’s

Turf Moor. Aside from well-renowned football stadia Harman products are installed at

Wimbledon, and Epsom and Goodwood Racecourses. Internationally, think of the

Yankee Stadium, Lucas Oil Stadium, Fedex Arena, Stade de Suisse … and no fewer than

twelve Olympic venues in Beijing. The arena portfolio is equally impressive and includes

O2 Arena (following on from the Millennium Dome). The scale of such projects demands a

unique set of skills and capabilities which few can deliver.

All England Lawn Tennis ClubAfter a major installation back in 2002 to improve the audio network at Wimbledon’s All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet

Club a further installation in 2008 expanded the BSS Soundweb digital architecture as a result of the new Centre Court

redevelopment. It also coincided with the release of newest arrivals to the BSS Soundweb London family, boasting four

times the processing capability.

Page 13: Harman / Sound Technology Installed Audio Solutions and Application Examples

Arsenal Football Club’s new Emirates stadium has established itself as

one of the best in Europe, with a much expanded seating capacity and

improved facilities compared to the club’s old home at Highbury. The

Public Address / Voice Alarm system at the Emirates is also state-of-

the-art, as befits a modern 60,000 seat stadium. The backbone of the

new sound system comprises several different models of JBL speakers,

powered by over 120 Crown amplifiers.

Ricoh Stadium, CoventryAttracting one million visitors in its first 12 months, the 32-000 seater Ricoh Stadium is one of the busiest football venues

in the Midlands. More than just a sports arena, the venue has played host to concerts from acts ranging from Bon Jovi

to the Red Hot Chili Peppers. The JBL Precision Directivity PD5212-WRC speaker system was chosen by the contractor

due to the successful track record it has with football clubs in the UK, commenting that none of the alternative speaker

systems performed as well as the JBL solution.

Live Music Venues

AMG Academy GroupSoundcraft’s Vi6 and Vi4 have become essential components in the audio spec of the burgeoning AMG Academy live

venue estate. Soundcraft’s digital platform is being used for monitors and front-of-house mixing in the Academy’s main

and subsidiary rooms. Group Technical Manager Ed Jackson says the desk has been thoroughly well thought-out.

As well as big concert arenas, Harman Pro brands star right across the burgeoning middle

band of theatre and club-sized live venues — whether it is JBL AE series loudspeakers, AKG

mics feeding them, Crown I-Techs powering them and Soundcraft digital consoles (with

Lexicon and BSS FX) controlling them. The Mint Group, owners of premier London club venue

KOKO, turned to a complete Harman Pro solution after its conversion from Camden Palace, as

did IndigO2 (smaller sibling to the O2 Arena). Meanwhile, the fast expanding Academy Music

Group has continually returned to Soundcraft digital consoles and BSS DSP to help build a

superior technological infrastructure in their growing portfolio of O2 Academys. With

industry-reference control, incoming technicians are discouraged from carrying their own

production, and due to their familiarity with the Soundcraft platform and topography, the

intuitive interface, speed of patching and ease of use why would they want to?

Page 15: Harman / Sound Technology Installed Audio Solutions and Application Examples

One of the world’s most advanced integrated sound systems can be

found at The Mint Group’s KOKO in London. The system capitalises on

the continuity of all the Harman Pro group brands. It features a JBL VerTec

line array sound system in the main room powered by Crown I-Tech

amplifiers, a full selection of AKG mics including the WMS 4000 wireless

system, dbx’s DriveRack system processing units and two Soundcraft Vi6

digital live sound consoles.

Rock City , NottinghamWhen landmark Nottingham club Rock City, was approaching its 30th anniversary owners DHP tasked technical

manager Dave McVea with sourcing the best equipment available for a total technology refit. McVea chose a 64-channel

Soundcraft Vi6 for FOH and a 48-channel Vi4 for stage monitoring, the intuitive Vistonics II™ interface providing an easy

learning curve and the small footprint of the digital console giving him extra space in both locations.

Koko, London

Clubs

Harman Pro has been associated with some of the world’s most famous dance venues over the

years, looking to associate their own brand with the might of JBL — and many of them (such as

Cream in Liverpool) adopting the legacy of the famous Richard Long system with mighty JBL

drivers. The arrival of installation line arrays such as VerTec and VRX saw the new generation

venues not only increasing their power but striving for a better signal path. As a result both

the Ministry of Sound and fabric in London have now upgraded their BSS Audio networks to

the new generation Soundweb London BLU series, enabling them to operate over HiQnet,

Harman Pro’s communications protocol. The Ministry also added Crown networkable

Macro-tech amplifiers. At the chic VIP end of the club market JBL has enjoyed a relationship

ranging from Chinawhite, to more recently Whisky Mist and the private members’ club Bureau

(to name but three).

fabricThe legendary London club operated for ten years with its trusty BSS Soundweb 9088ii system. Now the entire digital

network has been replaced with the new generation Soundweb London — using the BSS BLU-Link, which can carry

256 channels down a single Cat5e cable. Head of technology Sanjeev (Sanj) Bhardwaj said, “Processing speed has now

become a lot faster and more powerful and we have been able to replace our 12 original devices with a fraction of

that number.”

Page 17: Harman / Sound Technology Installed Audio Solutions and Application Examples

The Ministry of Sound upgraded the original BSS processing with the

new Soundweb London to provide site-wide coverage over CobraNet.

At the same time the installation of CN and HiQnet-enabled Crown CTs

amplifiers facilitates performance monitoring of the system from a single

PC station over HiQnet. The MoS also integrated new radio mic systems

within the HiQnet network with four AKG HT4500 radio mic transmitters

(with D5 capsules), SR4500 receivers and a HUB4000Q HiQnet ethernet

interface.

Ministry of Sound, London

The BureauInside this bijou private members bar off London’s Carnaby Street, the space has been intelligently used to fly JBL

Control 29’s over the dancefloor, Control 28T’s in the general seating area and Control 23’s in the toilets — with two

floor-mounted JRX118S bass bins, in special hand-built enclosures extending the low end.

Page 18: Harman / Sound Technology Installed Audio Solutions and Application Examples

Bars and Restaurants

Zen, BristolJBL’s powerful large format Control Contractor 300 Series ceiling speakers received their UK baptism in an upmarket,

new-build, multi-room Chinese restaurant in Bristol’s new Harbourside development. Owner Suzanna Ho needed a

system capable of producing warm-sounding background music and at the same time a medium night club sound.

Ten Control 321C models deliver exactly that, effortlessly blending into the aesthetic design.

The Harman Pro portfolio is made for bars and restaurants. JBL’s extensive Control

Contractor series ranges from the powerful Control 30 and Control 29AV to the recessed

Control 24C/24CT when a more discreet ceiling solution is required — or in the case of

Zen in Bristol, the Control 321C when a large-format solution is required from a discreet

source. Whatever the speaker, it has its perfect match in the Crown XLS, CTs and XTi

series. So who has them? The celebrated two tier Sitaaray and Tamarai is awash with JBL

Control and AE’s, Crown amplification and complex BSS signal networking, while JBL

and Crown again forms part of the design template in the growing All Star Lanes upmar-

ket bowling chain. Add to that other swish London places packed with JBL like Cocoon,

Volstead, Tini Bar, Galvin’s, Bungalo 8 — not to mention the über-chic St. Martin’s Lane

Hotel to which it is attached, and sister hotel The Sanderson. The list is endless.

Page 19: Harman / Sound Technology Installed Audio Solutions and Application Examples

Owner Iqbal Ahmed OBE and his son Manzur Ahmed committed £5m to

developing their award-winning Vermillion and Cinnabar Asian restau-

rant — a three-storey restaurant and bar at East Manchester’s Sportcity.

The 9,000 sq. ft venue features vast quantities of JBL Contractor Control

series. By adding the Control 19CS 8in subwoofers the sound has been

elevated to almost nightclub levels.

Tamarai/Sitaaray, LondonThe Bollywood-themed Sitaaray restaurant and multipurpose Tamarai nightclub underneath gave owner/entrepre-

neur Rohit Khattar the opportunity to install a full Harman Pro digital network, with complex BSS Soundweb London

DSP routing system and mode switching over CobraNet. JBL AE and Control series are used throughout, with Crown

Xs series amplifiers and Lexicon MC4 surround sound processor, when the venue switches to cinema mode.

Vermillion, Manchester

Page 20: Harman / Sound Technology Installed Audio Solutions and Application Examples

The increasing requirement for speech intelligibility and need to conform to safety and

performance test standards in public places has increased the need for high-grade public

address systems. In massive shopping malls, with their hard surfaces, reverberation times

can be considerable — further increasing the need for controlled audio. JBL systems have

constantly shown that they are equal to the task. Around 1000 Control 26CT 100V line

recess-mounted ceiling speakers are distributed throughout the concourse of the massive

Westfield London Shopping Centre. The same difficulties face multi-zoned leisure sites like

All Star Lanes. While JBL Control 29AV’s, AL6125 sub and Control 28’s form the foreground

sound around the lanes, Control 25AV and Control 24c Micro systems fill the periphery — all

powered by Crown amplifiers. Finally, the new British Music Experience, is networked using

BSS Soundweb .

Westfield Shopping CentreSet on two floors, the Westfield London Shopping Centre, which cost £1.7bn to develop, is set on 43 acres. Recess-

mounted into a suspended ceiling under the roof, in the region of 1,000 JBL Control 26CT’s broadcast sound throughout

the giant atrium. According to Tim Gully, who co-project managed the installation, “The JBL Control 26 loudspeak-

ers came out as the best choice when factors such as sensitivity, quality, amplifier requirements and aesthetics were

considered.”

Shopping and Leisure

Page 21: Harman / Sound Technology Installed Audio Solutions and Application Examples

British Music ExperienceThe new British Music Experience (BME) at London’s O2 Arena, is providing a riveting addition to London’s tourist

landscape. Combining a complex audio-visual system, designers used quantities of BSS Soundweb SW9088iis and

SW3088 Soundweb Lite devices to create a sophisticated and highly flexible audio network distribution system.

All Star Lanes, London

The installation at the upmarket ‘boutique’ bowl, All Star Lanes, uses

an integrated solution with JBL Contractor Control speakers (with

AL6115 and AL6125 subs), Crown XTi and XLS amplifiers and BSS Audio

Soundweb (and local wall remotes). They also use the BSS SW9016

video/audio matrix switcher to link the main Bowl with the private lanes

and American style diner, and provide private hire flexibility.

Page 22: Harman / Sound Technology Installed Audio Solutions and Application Examples

Two of London’s flagship boutique hotels, the St. Martin’s Lane Hotel and the Sanderson, boast

JBL from the ground up. As with retail environments, hotel guests need to hear announce-

ments clearly while the background music should be transparent rather than intrusive. The

same goes for the speaker aesthetic. Multiples of recessed JBL Control 26C’s and white Con-

trol 25AV can be seen in the Philippe Starck-designed St. Martin’s Lane while superior sound

and aesthetics drove the decision to mix JBL Control 23’s and Control 25’s with Control 29AV’s

in areas where more sound was required. At the edgier Hoxton Hotel, Control 29’s face onto

Great Eastern Street from the lobby, and finally, as the Radisson Edwardian Group continues its

corporate facility upgrade so it is turning increasingly to JBL Control 26’s and BSS Soundweb

systems to route, process and deliver top-grade audio to its conference rooms.

Hoxton HotelAs soon as visitors walk through the door at Sinclair Beecham’s trendy four-star Hoxton Hotel in Shoreditch they are

greeted by foyer music played through JBL Control 29’s. The install, interfacing with an existing system and augment-

ing it, includes system equalisation and protection via a dbx 2031 31-band graphic EQ/limiter.

Hotels

Page 23: Harman / Sound Technology Installed Audio Solutions and Application Examples

In order to keep up with the demands of the international business

community, the Radisson Edwardian Group have been upgrading

their AV conference facilities. At flagship sites such as the May Fair and

Bloomsbury Street Hotels they have been basing their design around

JBL Control 26C ceiling speakers, Crown 8-channel CTs 8200 amplifiers,

and multiples of BSS Soundweb BLU-16’s to feed the many private suites,

larger conference rooms and banqueting facilities.

Radisson Edwardian Group

The Sanderson and St. Martin’s Lane HotelTwo of London’s most prestigious hotels, the Ian Schrager conceived St. Martin’s Lane Hotel and the Sanderson,

feature JBL installations. Owned by Morgans Hotels, they feature a wide variety of Control Contractor speakers

but notably the high quality compact and discrete Control 23’s.

Page 24: Harman / Sound Technology Installed Audio Solutions and Application Examples

Bristol University, Wills Memorial HallA new technical infrastructure at Bristol University’s magnificent Wills Memorial Building has been installed.

Knowing the facility would be used for a wide range of events and presentations — by both skilled and unskilled

personnel —Soundweb BLU 160 digital processors were specified to facilitate auto mixing and optimise the sound in

the high vaulted Grade I-listed building. This is supported by a Soundcraft GB2 24/8/2 mixing desk and Crown XLS 602

amplifiers.

Be it essential audio infrastructure, installed and portable PA systems, or highly specialist

audio equipment, the Harman Pro portfolio covers all bases within the education field.

Whether in the primary and secondary state school sectors or City Academys you

can expect to see products like the versatile Soundcraft LX7 Mk II mixer or EFX series,

while in City College Coventry’s new £50m block the broadcast department has three

Soundcraft Series 10’s in its radio studios and Ghosts in the project studios. South Thames

College, too, has adopted the Soundcraft platform as the ideal learning tool in its new live and

control rooms in Wandsworth. And in one of the UK’s most stupendous buildings, the gothic

Wills Memorial Hall on Bristol University campus, the patching and system EQ are handled

by the new BSS Soundweb London BLU, linked to the in-house Soundcraft GB2 so the

sound can either be controlled from the desk or automated through Soundweb.

Educational Establishments

Page 25: Harman / Sound Technology Installed Audio Solutions and Application Examples

Coventry City CollegeFollowing its move to a new £50m block, a range of Soundcraft desks have been installed into City College Coventry for

use in three identical broadcast suites and four project recording studios. The new modular on-air Series 10 desks are

having a positive impact on Radio Production students, according to course head Mick Dabrowski, while upstairs the

project studios boast identically configured, 24-input Soundcraft Ghosts.

The new £100m wing of South Thames College in Wandsworth not only

uses vast quantities of JBL in-ceiling speakers and Crown amplification

throughout the many Health & Fitness, Drama, Dance, Hair & Beauty

teaching salons but the complex switching and routing requirements of

the 12 new recording and performance studios have made the College

the perfect environment for BSS Audio’s Soundweb London DSP’s. With

six live areas and seven control areas, any of the live TV, radio and record-

ing areas can be selected from any of the control rooms.

South Thames College

Wherever audio is required, there is a place for Harman Pro components — whether it is Sound-

web, configured for 32 AKG gooseneck mic inputs at the headquarters of the Bank of Cyprus

in Nicosia, or the continuous upgrade of the Norwegian Parliament building in Oslo where

the many Soundweb Original devices have now been upgraded with Soundweb London to

cover meeting rooms, hearing rooms and the main assembly auditorium. On the world map

few historic public buildings can eclipse the Cathedrals of Notre Dame in Paris and St. Paul’s

in London — both with BSS Soundweb DSP networks. At Stockholm’s Länsrätten, the city’s

administrative court, inspired HiQnet London Architect programming was called upon, with

Soundweb and Crown CTs 4200 USP-CN amplifiers controlling JBL Control series speakers over

CobraNet. An AKG C400BL boundary layer mic is used for paging — and the choice of different

interpreter languages via the headphone amps is also performed in Soundweb.

Norwegian ParliamentThe Norwegian Parliament in Oslo has upgraded its Soundweb devices to cover meeting rooms, hearing rooms and

the main parliament assembly auditorium. This includes the plenary chamber, where the new Soundweb London was

installed during a recess. Four BLU-320 break-in / out devices have been set in an 8 x 8 configuration together with

eight BLU-160 devices. Two BLU-10 touch screen remotes control the system locally, and a BLU-80 device is located in

the offices of the technical department for system surveillance and monitoring.

Corporate and Public Buildings

Page 27: Harman / Sound Technology Installed Audio Solutions and Application Examples

When Sweden relocated its Stockholm Länsrätten (Stockholm County

Administrative Court) they deployed quantities of Soundweb London

devices in an install involving 600 CobraNet channels and highly sophis-

ticated HiQnet London Architect programming. Soundweb networks

with Crown CTs 4200 USP-CN amplifiers, controlled via HiQnet System

Architect, while AKG GN50E gooseneck mics (fitted with CK31 capsules),

JBL Control 25AV loudspeakers and 200 Control 24 CT Micros complete

the install.

Bank of Cyprus The five-storey HQ of the Bank of Cyprus in Nicosia has undergone a recent overhaul. Six Soundweb devices accom-

modate 48 inputs, while nine white JBL VRX932LA line array enclosures are divided into three clusters of three in the

main hall, with a pair of SRX 718S subs, a further four JBL Control 29 loudspeakers on delays, service the ‘breakout’

room at the rear. The system is powered by seven Crown XTi 4000 power amplifiers and an XTi 2000. In addition to

AKG gooseneck mics, public speakers also have access to AKG’s WMS 4000 wireless system.
