Sound Division installs Martin Audio at The
Morrison
The Morrison Irish pub on
the King’s Road in London is one of the
latest venues to benefit from a complete AV system
designed and installed by contract specialists,
Sound Division. Like most Irish pubs, the Morrison
is a lively venue where music, including the ability
to host live bands, is a key element of the venue’s
character. Sound Division’s audio design
team along with the Morrison’s Stephen Breen,
specified a Martin Audio system powered by Crown
amplification.
The pub is essentially split
into two areas, the bar and the lounge, each of
which has it’s own system comprising four
Martin Audio EM26 compact loudspeakers and an
EM150 sub powered by Crown amplification. Control
comes courtesy of an Allen & Heath DR66 digital
mix processor. Music playback is handled by a
Rolec LHD3 music management system that delivers
continuous automatic playback of CD quality audio
that can be specified according to mood, time
of day or other criteria, and Sound Division has
also supplied a couple of Allen & Heath PL1
wallmount remote control panels for maximum flexibility
and control options throughout the venue.
In addition to the audio system,
Sound Division has also installed a Sanyo SU31
LCD projector and screen system plus a 42”
Fujitsu VCA plasma screen along with Panasonic
and Denon VCR and DVD players for the complete
audio visual package. All the AV is controlled
by a Kramer switching system.
The Morrison’s Stephen
Breen is delighted with the results. “Sound
Division has done a fantastic job of our audio-visual
installation. It was on time and on budget, and
the end result sounds great. On top of that I’ve
been really pleased with the level of after sales
support we’ve received from them. They even
handled the band for us on our opening night just
to make sure that everything went smoothly, which
it did. We had extremely positive reactions from
everyone who was there, including the band themselves.
Not only did the guys at Sound Division do a great
job in terms of the installation itself, but the
back-up they provide is excellent, which in my
book is almost as important as the job itself.”
