20 Shermann Pro-Audio loudspeakers are being used by Cardiff-based Stage Sound Services in the extensive sound system for the event, including the new Shermann RS-5 and the popular R118B. A compact, cost effective mid/high pack designed to operate above 80Hz, the Shermann RS-5 is an unconventional three-way model, say Shermann, which has already been used with great success on varied yet demanding gigs during its pre-launch trials.
The design brief for the RS-5 was for a versatile, portable system with relatively wide horizontal and narrow vertical dispersion patterns. The system also had to be capable of operation from a variety of digital controllers and amplifier combinations to avoid the limitations of 'plug and play' type systems. Stage Sound Services owner Phil Hurley has invested in two Shermann RS-5s and has placed an order for two more following the speaker's outstanding success at two public auditions.
