2c’s Host the Business Weekly Awards… Again!

After the success of last year’s event Alive & Sound were called back to deliver the same stunning, professional setup for our client 2C’s.  The annual Business Awards event is for the Eastern Region, nearly 200 business leaders and dignitaries were treated to an evening black tie dinner at Queen’s College, Cambridge.

Alive and Sound were brought in to provide the full AV set-up, including a custom built set, staging, lighting, audio and visual content.

The set was made from our standard flats, built into a one of our more popular designs, incorporating a central 10′ rear projection screen. These had been freshly covered with the client’s choice of blue-grey felt, and the whole thing was mounted on a 1′ high stage, neatly finished with a navy valance.

For the visual side of the event, we used one of our ever-popular Canon LV7585 projectors for the main screen, and two 50″ LG full HD screens to the sides. The client had requested that we have two different feeds for the central screen and the side screens, so our clever little Kramer presentation switcher was brought in to enable us to switch seamlessly between the client’s various slideshows and DVD content.

This year, the client decided that they wanted to do away with the lapel mics and instead all of the speeches were to be made into the AKG mics mounted on the lectern. This along with the rest of the audio content was relayed through our rather nice and compact A&H MixWizard out to a range of FBT Verve speakers – surrounding the happy listeners from all sides!

To give the professional touch to any stage set-up requires some effective mood and stage lighting. This was done using a combination of our LED cans and moving heads to create some texture on the stage, controlled by our Pearl lighting console. To pick out the key areas, ETC Source 4 spots were used, along with a new addition this year of a follow spot complete with willing operator!

All of these areas came together in an amazingly short amount of time, and the evening was a great success. 2Cs had the following to say:  ”a big thanks to your team. They were extremely helpful and efficient and ensured everything ran smoothly. They were absolute stars!!!”

We’re already looking forward to next years event, see you in Cambridge!
