Two Weeks Notice for Sound Division!
Ignoring Arctic temperatures
and driving blizzards, to say nothing of London
Underground grinding to a halt, crowds packed
out Leicester Square recently to catch a glimpse
of the perfect couple of the moment, Hugh Grant
and Sandra Bullock at the premiere of their slick
romantic comedy, Two Weeks Notice. The couple,
along with co-stars Four Weddings actor David
Haig, and Alicia Witt attended the glittering
after-premiere party for 450 carefully selected
guests held at the Asia de Cuba restaurant in
St Martins Lane hotel. The Sound Division Group's
hire department provided the sound system and
DJ services for the event.
The main system comprised
two JBL SRX 4702 mid/top loudspeakers, two JBL
SRX 4718 subs and a C-Audio Pulse amplifier rack
with a further four EV Sx300 loudspeakers as room
fills. DJ Control was courtesy of two SL1210 turntables
MkIII, an Allen & Heath mixer, a Denon 1800
CD player and a JBL G2 powered monitor. According
to Sound Division's Chris Baxter, the Asia de
Cuba restaurant is not the most straightforward
space to deal with. "We focused the main
sound system on the dance area to achieve a really
club-like, up-front atmosphere, and then used
the EV's as discreet room fills," he explained.
"The results, I have to say, were superb.
The party went on well into the small hours, and
it certainly looked as if everyone was enjoying
themselves!"
