Merlin PA Hire and ARB Events supplied Electro-Voice loudspeakers and Dynacord amplifiers for the Best in Show Arena at UK dog show Crufts 2022.
Six hangs of X-Line Advance X2 loudspeakers, six TGX amplifiers, an MXE5 Matrix Mix Engine and Sonicue sound system software were deployed for the show held at the NEC Birmingham.
2022 marked the 118th year of the show that attracted more than 20,000 dogs from 38 countries. It covered 25 areas of the NEC, including five halls and the Best in Show Arena.
Neal Allen from Merlin PA said: “Crufts is certainly not a rock ‘n’ roll show, but it can get loud. The system is used for commentary and music so the vocal intelligibility that it provides is incredibly important. It also helps that X2 gives you a really good performance without the need for subs. Sonicue always works well and gives you great insight into the system.”
