Florence, Italy – July 16, 2024 – UK-based system integrator Marquee AV has successfully implemented a state-of-the-art AV installation at Kings Place, London, using Powersoft Mezzo amplifiers. The compact yet powerful Mezzo series was chosen for its discreet design, flexible connectivity, and energy-efficient performance, making it the perfect solution for modern event venues.
Kings Place: A Premier Event Venue in London
Situated in the bustling King’s Cross district, Kings Place is a renowned multifunctional event space that hosts conferences, corporate gatherings, and live performances. The venue boasts a diverse range of facilities, including arts and creative spaces, office hubs, dining areas, and the picturesque Battlebridge Room, which overlooks Regent’s Canal.

As a long-standing client of Marquee AV, Kings Place required an AV system upgrade for its Battlebridge Room to enhance both sound quality and operational efficiency. The challenge was to implement a high-performance sound system that seamlessly integrated with the room’s sophisticated, minimalist aesthetic.
The Powersoft Mezzo Solution
To meet the venue’s needs, Marquee AV selected a Bose Professional MA12EX column speaker system paired with Powersoft Mezzo amplifiers. These amplifiers offer the power, reliability, and networking capabilities of larger systems while maintaining a compact and unobtrusive form factor.
