The audio ran on a backbone of Lake Processing. Behind the audio were Beach Sound from Miami, Florida, a full service concert production company that handles festivals, concerts and corporate events of all shapes and sizes.
"We go back to the original Lake processors," said Neil Rosenstock, head of audio at Beach Sound. "And we have owned a number of Lab.gruppen amplifiers in the past, including several FP 6400 units, so when Lake moved over to become part of Lab.gruppen, we were confident it would retain all the qualities that made it famous, and then some. We had tried out the LM 44 on our last festival, and just loved the EQ and routing capabilities. The converter is the best and the sound quality is unmatched."
Now a d&b and L-Acoustics house, Beach Sound were confident that a backbone of Lake for Ultra Music Festival would provide the flexibility and feature set required for a gig this size, as Rosenstock testified.
"We used four LM 44s - three at Front of House and one for monitors. At FOH we were using both analogue ins and outs, as well as AES ins and outs. The flexibility of the LM 44s meant we could have a combination of Dante and AES routing between the units."
