UK sales, installation and hire specialist, Pro Audio Systems (PAS), has reported its single largest EM Acoustics sale to date – event management experts, Midland Conference Services, has taken delivery of a significant EMS Series system from EM Acoustics complete with flying equipment and a rack of Lab.gruppen power amplifiers.

According to PAS’s Dave Simpson, the sale to MCS is proof of growing interest in EM Acoustics since becoming a main dealer for the brand in March 2015: ‘EM Acoustics products have quickly become a very worthwhile addition to our sales portfolio,’ he says.

‘Our business is all about matching products to applications, usually within strict budgets, and the inclusion of EM has given us access to a new range of loudspeaker products that makes this task much easier at a professional level. We have already had several notable sales, including two sales to the Alhambra theatre in Bradford – a pair of EMS-118 subs for the Studio Theatre and a number of EMS-51s as part of the show relay system. We also recently installed several EMS-61s into the main hall of the British Muslim Heritage Centre, which is used as a conference and events area as well as a mosque.

‘We’re very happy to be part of the EM family,’ he adds. ‘The build quality is exemplary, the acoustic performance is always impressive and they are a very easy company to deal with. We couldn’t ask for more, really.’

‘Our business has grown considerably over the past couple of years, so we decided that the time was right to make a big investment in our PA equipment,’ Midland Conference Services Senior Technical Manager Jon Lane offers. ‘After several discussions with our freelancers and technicians, it was clear that EM Acoustics was the most popular option. After a successful week-long trial of the kit arranged via EM Acoustics’ Dave Kelland, we decided to go ahead and make the purchase. Both the sound and build quality are excellent, and in terms of value, I think that EM Acoustics has very few rivals. I’ve listened to loudspeakers from other brands that cost considerably more and yet don’t sound anywhere near as good. We were also pleased to discover that all the products are manufactured in the UK – which is important to us as a business.’

The system purchased by Midland Conference Services comprises four EMS-51 boxes, EMS-81 boxes, four EMS-121 boxes, four EMS-118 subs and yokes for all cabinets. The system is driven by eight Lab.gruppen power amps.

‘EM Acoustics offers a diverse range of speakers and their ability to be versatile enables us to provide flexible solutions to our clients, which is really important,’ added Lane. ‘We are delighted with our new purchase and the service we received from both Pro Audio Systems and EM acoustics was second to none.’
