THE INSTALL

LEA AMPS POWER LUXURIOUS EQUESTRIAN FACILITIES

Wellington, which was once just a small area of farmland, is now a winter paradise for riders and horses. For half the year equestrians from all over the world descend to Wellington to compete in world-class competitions. One home in particular in Wellington having recently built new stables for competitors, understood that audio for entertainment would be an important part of the stables. The client was looking for solid sound throughout the entire barn area of the property and connected with Innovative Home Technology to provide just that.

For this project in the barn, which included the stables, riding arena, and fire-pit area, Innovative Home Technology used
Origin Acoustics loudspeakers and three of the LEA Professional Network Connect 702 amplifiers.

“The LEA Professional Connect Series with its user-friendly interface, compact design, and smart features were the perfect fit for this install,” commented Sara Barnett-Calvert, President, Innovative Home Technology. “This was our first experience installing LEA Professional but it definitely will not be our last.”

For this property it was imperative that the audio system be easily accessible and controlled so the owners could save time and costs if an issue arose. For Innovative Home Technology there was an easy solution: the LEA Professional Cloud platform.

The property, which is currently for sale, has received positive feedback on the audio system.

“The barn has not sold yet, but everyone so far that has walked the property has complemented the install and amazing sound,” concluded Barnett-Calvert.

We’d like to thank Sara Barnett- Calvert and the team at Innovative Home technology for choosing our amps for this killer installation and we hope that the audio systems will continue to deliver reliable audio for visitors and horses at the stables for years to come.

PXL MEDIA INVESTS IN MARTIN AUDIO TO OPEN UP SOUTH INDIA MARKET

PXL Media, a leader in large format LED screen rentals, recently forayed into the professional touring audio domain by adding Martin Audio’s Wavefront Precision (WPL) line array to its inventory. In so doing, they have become India’s first WPL users.

A production house known across South India for its prowess in LED screens, PXL Media launched SXL—a division centered around providing exceptional touring audio systems to audiences. “Together with VXL (Video) and LXL (Lights) we can provide a complete solution to our customers,” says Pratheesh Michael, CEO, PXL Media. This purchase also helps Pixel Media make its mark as a significant player in the touring industry in Kerala, one of the fastest growing events and touring markets in India. “We will quickly expand into all of South India soon,” promises Pratheesh.

“PXL Media believes in investing in top-level gear to match international standards. Martin Audio’s reputation in the market is exemplary. We are proud to be associated as their first WPL users. We wanted to invest in a system that delivers top-notch performance, is rider friendly, ensures efficiency and functionality, while being flexible and scalable,” says Sachin Babu, Sound Engineer, PXL Media. “Martin Audio was perfect for this.”

The system inventory for Pixel Media includes the WPL 3-way bi-amp, 2 x 12” large format line-array elements, with the globally renowned dual 18” horn-loaded SXH 218 subwoofers. The system is powered by two racks consisting of Martin Audio’s iKON iK42 amplifiers, network switches, signal and power distros.
