"This is the first time that Qatar has hosted such a world-class tennis event, and we are proud to be a part of it," explained AV-Tech's general manager, Hadi Arzouni. "Furthermore, the complex will be hosting the Championships for the next two years, so it was imperative that we selected only the very best equipment from the top manufacturers. Our first choice for amplification is always Lab.gruppen for reasons of reliability and sound quality, and this installation was no exception."
AV-Tech installed comprehensive AV systems throughout the main stadium showcourt and practice courts 1 and 2. Five Lab.gruppen fP 6400 amplifiers powered a Community point source loudspeaker system which was augmented by three R6-Basshorns. The 4-channel Lab.gruppen C 5:4X amplifier was selected to power the side-fill speakers and the VIP seating area system. For each of the practice courts, AV-Tech opted for four R.5HP Community loudspeakers powered by a single Lab.gruppen C10:4X.
"Lab.gruppen's C Series are ideal for this sort of application," added Arzouni. "Whatever your needs, you can be sure that C Series will have an amplifier of the channel density and power rating you require. It considerably reduces the amount of rackspace you need, it's cost-effective, and it's Lab.gruppen so you know it will be reliable and sound good."
