During the five-day festival, local and international artists - backed by D.A.S. Aero sound systems - took the stage. Among them were Hell's Belles, a girl-powered tribute to AC/DC, and Vertical Horizon, USA-style rock direct from Washington, D.C.
Eduardo López, commercial representative of D.A.S. Audio Asia, reports, "D.A.S. Audio Asia and Timbre Music Group were excited about possible collaborations since the beginning of the year. When Timbre Music began to organise Beerfest festival 2009, we saw a great opportunity to get involved with the management and creation of the event's sound system."
D.A.S. Audio flew in eight units of Aero 38 line array systems (four for each side of the stage) with eight ground stacked units of Aero 218 Sub (four on each side as well) as a P.A. Ron Koh, technical support for products and projects at D.A.S Asia, notes, "Due to the unusual limitation of erecting the stage within a tent, the event equipment could not surpass a height of a mere 6m, which is why we opted for this configuration."
On both sides of the stage were tables for the audience with eight powered CA-28A (four each flanking the stage in a left-right configuration) using a special rigging system provided by GSL Productions to give 180 degrees of sound coverage with the Aero 38. Ron Koh adds, "With four CA-28A previously stacked and aligned with the Ease Focus programme on the transport dolly PL-28S the only thing left to do was get the AX support and hook it up to the first box. Once we did this, we placed it beneath the motor to suspend the speakers, and let the system fly."
Danny Loong, the event organiser, said, "D.A.S. systems far exceeded our expectations, and helped to make the event the great treat for the ears that it was. We are very thankful for the support we received from D.A.S. Audio Asia, as well as the engineers who came from Valencia. We look forward to collaborating with D.A.S. in future projects and events."
