Polar supplies AtlasIED Atmosphere for Pro Audio Systems install at Bradford pop-up venue

Located at the site of a disused warehouse in Bradford, Loading Bay is a new pop-up venue created for Bradford 2025 UK City of Culture. Throughout the year it will present an extensive arts and entertainment programme comprising music, comedy, talks, exhibitions, theatre, live video-gaming, and exhibitions. Set across four floors, Loading Bay includes a theatre, gallery, multi-format basement room, as well as an outside courtyard space.

The venue’s team enlisted Bradford-based production specialists Pro Audio Systems (PAS) to supply and install much of the technology required for its programme. As well as installing the main front-of-house audio systems for the performance spaces, PAS also supplied a number of significant ancillary elements for the project including a background audio and venue-wide paging system, controlled via an AtlasIED Atmosphere multi-zone audio processor.

PAS supplied an AtlasIED AZM8 zone processor, distributed in the UK by Polar, combined with remote Bluetooth (A-BT-EU) and RCA/3.5 mm (A-RCA-EU) inputs, and two Atmosphere Zone Paging Stations (X-ZPS). “The AtlasIED Atmosphere is fast becoming our go-to processor for multi-zoned audio systems”, says Dave Simpson of Pro Audio Systems. “The AZM8 gives Loading Bay flexible control over the background music in its gallery and outside spaces, as well as facilitating a complete paging system for the venue’s live events programme.”

“As well as the Atmosphere processor, we sourced a number of other products from Polar for this extensive project, including a quantity of Radial passive and active DI boxes for the venue’s main stage”, he adds.
