SES Sound is equipping many industry events, including the annual Anugerah Industry Muzik which was held for the 17th time this year. The AIM is the most important music award in Malaysia. The event, presented by Afdlin Shauki and Adibah Noor, took place at Putra World Trade Centre in Kuala Lumpur on 2 May 2010. The centre is situated in the heart of KL and offers multi-purpose facilities with modern audio-visual infrastructure.
The organizers requested a system which could be integrated inconspicuously into the stage yet provide excellent live sound as the event was broadcasted live on TV station Ntv7.
That was why SES decided for K.M.E. Pano. By a simulation with the software Pano Focus the quantity and angling of the elements was calculated to achieve a balanced reproduction from the first row to the last and also on the galleries in the Merdeka Hall with a size of 2.000sq.m and 3,000 seats.
The system comprised two 16 line source units QL 906 plus two 4 cardioid subs QCB 318 driven by Yamaha amplifiers.
Alwin Koh, sound engineer of the event, comments, "The K.M.E. Pano is very clear, dynamic and undistorted over the whole frequency range in both vertical and horizontal dispersion."
