Hal-Tronic is a new series of events that started on 12 September in the Halle Messe Arena. Top-DJs like DJ Kalkbrenner, Steve Murano and Marc Electrique played on two floors for about 2500 party people. For the 3600sq.m wide hall with 250m truss construction for light and sound Jürgen Dorn from Dorn u. Kannegießer Showtechnik GbR decided to use the K.M.E. Pano.
Five arrays each with two low-mid-units QLM 115, seven line source units QL 906 and a QL 1215 plus 38 subs amplified by system racks SR 7100 provided the powerful techno beat in the whole hall. The complete sound system was installed directly above the two-storied 64 sqm DJ-desk and radiated 360° with an very high SPL.
For the International Highland Games in Angelbachtal and Machern, Jam-Sound Veranstaltungstechnik under the direction of Markus Taubert used the Pano and Prestige series for sound reinforcement. On the main stages 16 QL 906 and two low-mids QLM 115 plus subs QBH 1181 T were used for the main PA and MFT 1152 F monitors were installed. Amplification and control came from SPA 3200 MP, SPA 2400 MP and digital controller DAP 26 plus CAN-port. The side stages and competition places were equipped with smaller K.M.E. systems.
