Sound System for Sean Lock

If you're looking to hire a sound system for a corporate event or a band, have a look at my website here.

A few days ago I did the sound for the comedian Sean Lock at a corporate awards function, which took place at the Park Plaza Riverbank Hotel in London.  A Sennheiser EW300 series microphone was set up, but most of the talking was done from the lectern, equipped with a pair of Audio Technica ES915 mics. Front of house speaker system consisted of 6 HK Audio IL12.1 speakers flown in three way clusters.  An additional 2 boxes where flown over the dance floor.  6 HK Audio Elias subs were positioned under the stage, in order to preserve sight lines.  Front of house mixing was accomplished with a Soundcraft GB4 desk, with Mackie digital outboard.

The positioning of the subs made for a very clean looking stage area, also with no speaker stands in sight as all the mid / high tops where flown from a 12m truss, parallel with the front of the stage.  There was a certain amount of power alley noticeable during the DJ set, but this was a price worth paying to hide all the subs.

In order to provide maximum gain before feedback, only one of the Audio Technica ES915's was used, the other serving as a hot spare.

Sean Lock proved to be a very entertaining host, although the official photographer might disagree, being the butt of several jokes!
