France-Parisian company Silence,a leading supplier of AV equipment and services to the TV and live events market in France has chosen to invest in a significant Uniline modular line array system from French manufacturers APG.The news comes shortly after the announcement that the UK's Plus 4 Audio,also TV studio sound specialists,has just taken delivery of their Uniline system.
Silence's CEO,Gilles Hugo,takes up the story."It's true that until now,we have limited our stock of PA equipment so that we are under no pressure to supply one brand over another.We supply what is best for the job or event concerned.However,having used the Uniline system to great effect on The Voice we started to re-evaluate.
"The Voicewas about as complex as TV shows get these days,and with the added pressure that it absolutely had to sound good in the studio,as the candidates were being judged on the sound that came from the PA;the coaches didn't have in-ear monitors as they do on certain other shows of the same genre,"continued Hugo.
"The Uniline system did a wonderful job for us.It's one of those systems that sounds good straight out of the box,so that's a good start.Secondly,the ergonomics of the system work very well for us-it's compact,light weight,easy to handle and easy to fly,which is important everywhere but especially in a TV studio.Thirdly,it offers a clean,neutral yet powerful sound with excellent horizontal dispersion and a superb stereo image."
