Audiotek Upgrades the Sound for Newmarket Racecourse with Community AudioTek Upgrades the Sound for Newmarket Racecourse with Community Newmarket Racecourse in Suffolk, England has undergone a major upgrade to its PA, with new systems designed and installed by leading integrator, AudioTek. Known as the home of horse racing, and with a history spanning three and a half centuries from the time of King Charles II, the prominence of the racecourse is sustained by its unrivaled program of races and events and its continual modernization that ensures high standards for visitors. AudioTek was chosen to do a full survey of the current site and to recommend a new solution to the problems and complaints that the venue had been having. From this it soon became obvious that certain areas on site were having issues, with a combination of aged components failing and the need for an upgrade to a more modern sound from the original speech PA with its limited frequency bandwidth. AudioTek identified and proposed solutions for the main spectator standing areas, Premier Enclosure, betting ring, and second and fourth floor balconies, with integration into the existing PA for other areas. Christopher Kmiec, AudioTek’s UK Installation Manager, designed the new systems using EASE 4.3. (continued on next page) Kmiec explained, “We evaluated a number of different brands in EASE, and Community’s R SERIES gave the best acoustic results for the size, weight and budget of the project. The extreme weatherproofing of the loudspeakers as standard was also a big advantage. To its credit, the previous system was installed for a 20-year span, and we are confident we will match that with Community’s reputation for long-term reliability.” The main outdoor system comprises six high power Community R2-77Z-EN full-range defined coverage three-way loudspeakers, located under the main canopy at a height of 25 meters. These provide smooth coverage of the main spectator standing areas, Premier Enclosure and betting ring. “In addition to high intelligibility speech, the new system was specified to provide good quality music and the R2 delivers both,” commented Kmiec. Sixteen R SERIES R.35-3896 loudspeakers were also installed in the venue with the system being run from a QSC Q-SYS system. QSC CXD-Qn amplifiers provide power, monitoring and control of the system, as well as a redundant backup. “The Community loudspeakers allowed us to model the system in advance, and be confident the results would be achieved in practice. Everyone who has heard the new system cannot believe how loud and clear it sounds,” concluded Kmiec. - Ends - www.communitypro.com www.audiotekinternational.com www.newmarket.thejockeyclub.co.uk Community Professional Loudspeakers is a developer and manufacturer of innovative loudspeaker systems for installed sound applications.

  • The Racing Business Between the Wars
    1 The racing business between the wars he racing industry was amongst the largest and most sophisticated of Tleading British industries between the wars, yet was also highly conserva- tive, and often unprofitable for its investors. Racing contributed significantly to national economic turnover, and in turn wider British economic pressures impacted on racing. It was cosmopolitan, with horses, owners, trainers and jockeys coming from or going to countries across the globe, although most especially the English-speaking world. Very large numbers were involved in British racing as at least occasional spectators and betters. In London alone over 500,000 copies of racing editions of evening papers were sold daily. The industry employed full-time trainers, breeders and their employees, racecourse employees and jockeys. Thousands of bookmakers took racing bets. Racing also supported a wide variety of ancillary trades, including not only local saddlers, suppliers of racing breeches and silks, blacksmiths, farmers who provided forage and veterinary surgeons, but also horse photographers and artists, jewellers who designed and made racing cups, and specialist bloodstock insurance firms. With the conspicuous exception of Aintree’s hugely popular Grand National meeting, flat racing had longer meetings, higher status, far bigger crowds and generated far larger amounts of betting than National Hunt racing whose stee- plechases and hurdle-jumping events, some held in winter, overlapped with flat racing in autumn and spring. National Hunt racing was portrayed as a ‘poorer relation’, or ‘an inferior and uncouth offshoot of the true sport’, attended by ‘the needy and greedy’, although this was inaccurate.1 Steeplechases, the most dan- gerous form of racing for horse and jockey, were especially popular between December and April.

  • CRAVEN SALE a BREEZE-UP BAROMETER Its Focus on the Main Event, the May 4 Chris Mcgrath Has a Preview for the Two-Day Tattersalls Craven GI Kentucky Derby
    TUESDAY, 16 APRIL 2019 THE WEEKLY WRAP: LONG MAY THEY RUN CRAVEN SALE A by Emma Berry BREEZE-UP BAROMETER Apologies for the tardy start of this weekly digest. It's certainly not a case of taking the Newmarket resident's view that the Flat only really begins today with the start of the Craven meeting, more that family matters rendered this correspondent a non-runner in the first fortnight of the season. Fortunately we have had the excellent Pat Smullen to give us his take on the racing scene, and his much-enjoyed weekly column will be back tomorrow. Even ahead of today's racing action, Newmarket's Rowley Mile has already been the scene of plenty of activity this week, with around 120 breezers having been put under the spotlight yesterday morning ahead of the Tattersalls Craven Breeze-up Sale, which starts its two-day run later today. The 2-year-old sales are not universally loved but a good reminder that such auctions can offer more than just blink-and-you'll-miss-'em juveniles was served by the admirable Stormy Antarctic (GB) (Stormy Atlantic) on Sunday. War Front colt out of Quarter Moon breezes | Emma Berry Now six, the Ed Walker-trained gelding added the G3 Kalkmann Frujahrs-Meile at Dusseldorf to his record on his 2019 by Chris McGrath debut, extending his tally to seven wins and 11 places from 26 NEWMARKET, UK--With the breeze-up calendar this year starts.
