"We have been using Meyer Sound Milo and Mica line arrays with great success," says Pablo Bonilla, the managing director of PROmontaje. "Now, with Leo, we will be Venezuela's leading provider of large-scale audio production for big concerts, festivals, major sporting competitions and large-scale corporate, governmental, and cultural events."
PROmontaje's new Leo system comprises 30 LEO-M line array loudspeakers, 18 1100-LFC low-frequency control elements, a Galileo Callisto loudspeaker management system with four Galileo Callisto array processors and a Galileo 616 AES processor. The system was purchased through the Caracas-based distributor Audio Concept, C.A.
PROmontaje's investment in a Leo system is part of a long-term commitment to raising the standard for audio in live events throughout Venezuela.
"It's about quality," Bonilla explains. "When I've gone to concerts in the past, I would too often pay a high ticket price and hear low-quality sound. That's because concert producers were only looking for the lowest-cost system. I'm determined to change that attitude with LEO, and I'm convinced the quality will be a good long-term investment both for us and the concert producers."
The feedback about Leo's performance at the Vive Movistar Festival confirmed Bonilla's decision to purchase Leo was the right one. "My musician friend told me that even as he was entering the venue around 300 meters from the main stage, the music was coming through strong and clear," Bonilla says. "Crew members with experience working other large systems also told me that they have never heard anything like it."
