Refurbished
Arena Returns Wembley to the Top of the Music Tree
Music stars including Madonna have been flocking back to play Wembley
Arena since its £35 million renovation was completed. McFly, Westlife,
Anastacia and Depeche Mode have all wowed audiences at the world famous
venue since its recent re-opening.
The
Arena now has a dramatic new entrance and much improved internal facilities,
but arguably the most important change to the building is its revitalised
acoustics. Hodgson & Hodgson Group was chosen to install new TufSound
wall and ceiling panels, which have reduced noise reverberation around
the building and transformed the quality of sound within the venue, something
which had been much criticised in the past.
Wembley's
sound engineers are delighterd with the acoustic improvements, commenting
that they can now hear exactly what the audience hears and can make adjustments
where necessary to improve the quality of the music. Peter Tudor, General
Manager of Wembley Arena is equally pleased with the venue's refreshing
new acoustics: "The acoustic performance of the Arena is central
to our status as London's number one music venue. Hodgson & Hodgson
have transformed the quality of sound in the building and helped to create
the superb experience we were looking for, both for performers and audiences."
"We
knew it was vital to get the acoustics right here" agrees Glynne
Balshaw-jones, Managing Director of Hodgson & Hodgson. "Wembley
Arena is one of the most famous music venues in the world and everything
had to be spot on. TufSound has been really well tested and proven to
absorb noise and reduce reverberation like no other material. Great feedback
from audiences since the venue reopened confirms the success of the installation".
