East Anglia’s latest live venue, the V-Arena in Great Yarmouth, is equipped with a d&b audiotechnik loudspeaker system from Reboss Services – comprising 24 C7s and eight B2 Subs. Dedicated solely to Vauxhall Holiday Park, the system exclusively uses Van Damme cabling from UK cable specialist VDC Trading. Also installed by Reboss Services in the V Arena are two independent Van Damme multicore systems.

The first comprises a 48-way analogue multicore with a separate eight-way return, all on VDM multi-pin connectors at both ends with a comprehensive VDC splitter system totally flightcased for monitors. Running alongside the analogue system is a digital system to accommodate most digital desks as required, including all the breakout leads to match desks and stageboxes. A separate audio and visual multicore is also installed from the stage to the visual studio control studio. The Van Damme stage snakes have all the stage boxes connected by VDM multi pin connectors.

The other system was installed for the park’s own Pro-Logic sound system. This is again analogue and digital, but with a further split from stage to backstage enables the FOH desk to be operated from backstage. It consists of a Van Damme 24-way multicore with a separate eight-way return, again all with VDM multi-pin connectors. The stage again being covered by a 12-way stagebox again on multi-pin connectors.

The requirement was for the installation to be totally hidden. The only items to be seen are concealed boxes at each end, with a lockable cover when not in use.

‘For me, VDC Trading constructs totally reliable cables, connectors and assemblies which are not cheap but they give outstanding service and value for money,’ says Reboss Director, Roger Leggett. ‘The support provided by VDC’s Anne Gardiner and Adam Jafrabadi was outstanding. That level of dedication is rare in any of the other market leaders.’

The V-Arena has an impressive stage for the live acts to perform, and dancefloor. There is also seating around the venue and an extensive bar. Coming events include a Seveties Glamtastic Weekender and a Soul & Motown event.
