The bi-polar system design, two line arrays of 11 T10 loudspeakers positioned directly above the broadcast dais from where the televised result announcements were staged, was made by Patrick Van Cauwenberghe, who barely two months ago attended his first T-Series seminar at the Cirque Royale in Brussels.
"This system is simply the perfect one for the job," said Van Cauwenberghe. "Looks and size are important for television's aesthetics, and the lightweight T10 loudspeaker addressed structural considerations. Performance and propagation were critical for the acoustic of this domed installation environment; any colouration of the stage microphones was 100% unacceptable and the T-Series made that an easy goal to achieve."
The system was supplied and rigged by Laurent Fortier SPRL of Belgium, "We were the first buyer of the T10 in Belgium," said Monsieur Fortier. "We already use a lot of Q-Series loudspeakers; knowing the d&b quality I made my purchase without even hearing the system. I have never encountered a d&b product that didn't do exactly what the brochure says it will do and the multiple applications possible with T-Series is very attractive. For this particular project I am grateful for support from Amptec, the Distributor for d&b in Belgium. It was a great day for all of us."
