livenews UNITED KINGDOM Shure at the sea shore By Erica Basnicki
SHURE RADIO microphones and in-ear monitoring systems were used extensively at the recent 2013 Aldeburgh Festival in Suffolk. The festival celebrated local composer Benjamin Britten’s centenary this year with a spectacular production of the opera Peter Grimes quite literally at the sea side – on a 50m wide set placed at the very edge of the Suffolk shingle, where the North Sea begins. Richard Nowell Sound Services (RNSS) designed the audio systems, and was faced with a number of challenges, including the possibility that Aldeburgh beach might have ‘unexploded ordnance’ buried in it from wartime military defences!
Shure helped celebrate Benjamin Britten by the sea RNSS chose Shure products
for all of the 30 channels of RF mics they used at the event, drawing on UHF-R+ systems from their own stock, as well as 62 channels of PSM1000 in-ear monitoring. Shure Distribution UK pro audio group manager Tuomo Tolonen was on hand in the run-up to the performance to offer technical support.
“For RNSS, the only choice for
radio mics and IEMs was Shure,” said Richard Nowell, founder of RNSS. “Tuomo Tolonen provided invaluable backup and technical expertise, and the few issues we experienced on-site were quickly resolved. The project seems to have been a success, and all concerned were delighted.”n

AN L-ACOUSTICS K1 rig was deployed for a historic concert by maestro Zubin Mehta and the Bavarian State Orchestra in Srinagar (Kashmir province), India: it was the first time in 20 years the town had witnessed any form of cultural activity. Nearly 2,000 guests attended the event, hosted by the German Embassy in the Shalimar Gardens.
The rig was provided by Indian rental house SNL Pro.
Two K1-SB and two SB28s were flown either side over six K1s, with three pairs of L-Acoustics 115XT HiQ as front fills. Four LA-RAKs powered the system with three LA8’s in each controlled by the LA Network. n
