LONDON — Capital Sound provided audio gear for the Universal Music BRIT Awards Party hosted by Bacardi and Soho House. The event took place at the Old Midland Bank, immediately opposite the Bank of England in the City of London. “We decided to put together an ‘in the round’ system of 28 Meyer Mina cabinets and eight 600-HP subs to relay material from two full DJ rigs, which were set up on what used to be the Bank’s reception desk,” said crew chief Charles Ellery. Capital’s Robin Conway was on system tech and mixing duties, while Louisa Gladwin, Charlie Bryson and Jasmin Cummings handled the PA and stage tech roles. Control was via a DiGiCo SD11 digital console, with a pair of Meyer Galileos handling the outputs to the entrance corridor system and the VIP section at the other end of the building, feeding Martin Audio W2 speakers with WS218X subs. Stephen Bunting worked the Room Two system of Meyer UPQ’s and 600-HP’s for an Iggy Azalea showcase. “The BRIT Awards is always a spectacular event,” said Ellery. “The awards parties follow that lead and this was no exception. Everyone had a great time and both Universal and Soho House were really pleased with what we supplied.”
