With the ability to accommodate as many as 11,000 people in its main hall, the SICC is a challenging acoustic environment.Donny Hardono, owner of DSS and a highly recognized figure among the region's music industry, reports:
"For this concert, we deployed 32 D.A.S. Audio Aero-38, three-way, medium format line array elements. These enclosures were flown in four clusters - each with eight line array elements. We had the left and right FOH (front of house) mains, which were augmented by two additional clusters, one cluster each on the extreme sides, or out-fills. Due to the specific characteristics of this venue, we used outfield speakers to provide greater horizontal coverage to the width of the venue. This arrangement enabled us to accommodate the right/ left outer wings of the audience."
For the left and right side-fills, as well as the centre-fill, the DSS crew also flew a total of 18 D.A.S. Aero 12A powered, mid-high line array elements. These loudspeakers were arranged in three clusters of six elements each. For loudspeaker processing, two D.A.S. Audio DSP-4080 processors and one D.A.S. Audio DSP-2060 2 processor were placed into service.
"We had plenty of low frequency support for this event as well as an impressive stage monitor setup," Hardono adds. "We used a total of 18 D.A.S. LX-218A powered subwoofers. These were ground stacked with nine enclosures on the left and another nine units on the right. For on-stage monitoring, we placed 12 D.A.S. Avant 12A powered, two-way enclosures. Completing the monitoring setup, we used two additional LX218A subwoofers for sidefills, with one enclosure per side."
