Adamson reinforces Edinburgh Hogmanay party
- Details
Underbelly, producers of Edinburgh’s 2018/19 Hogmanay events, curated a three-day spectacular to celebrate Europe, and Scotland’s ties to Europe.
The 19th century McEwan Hall became a new venue for Hogmanay and hosted three major concerts - Symphonic Ibiza on 30 December and Capercaillie and Carlos Nunez with special guests on the 1 January, which also marked the start of a new collaboration between Edinburgh’s Hogmanay and Glasgow’s Celtic Connections festival.
The Warehouse Sound Services worked directly with Underbelly to provide an advanced audio set-up for the McEwan Hall events.
The Warehouse used Adamson’s new S7 line array system for the events. The system in McEwan Hall consisted of three hangs of eight S7 line array loudspeakers with four S118 and four S119 subs all driven by Lab Gruppen 20K44 amplifiers using Lake processing. The system design was by Douglas Martin using Adamson’s proprietary design software Blueprint AV.
Douglas Martin, hire manager at The Warehouse, says: “The Adamson system performed extremely well given the challenging acoustics within McEwan Hall and the diverse range of shows across the Hogmanay season. The system delivered good even coverage throughout and the audience response was amazing. The performance from this physically small system was incredible and clearly will out-perform similar sized systems currently on the market. We can’t wait to use it for further music, theatre and corporate applications.”
As well as the McEwan Hall Adamson E15 and S10 line array systems were deployed on the Hogmanay main stage for Concert in The Gardens with headliners Franz Ferdinand and by Adamson Rental partner Live Systems on the Ceilidh Stage.
