Sound providers Carlinho Hermes Landa and Iluminación Artistica RTA opted for a system based on Meyer Sound's MILO high-power curvilinear array loudspeaker system. Freelance system engineer Andres Cuadros commented: "For me, it was necessary to have the very best equipment," he says. "With MILO, we got excellent response from the system. As a result, the public reacted very well, because both the show and the technical production were at the highest level."
The main system was made up of 12 MILO cabinets on each side, with four UPJ-1P compact VariO loudspeakers in the centre to provide front-fill. For low-end support, 12 650-P high-power subwoofers were groundstacked on each side of the stage.
The production team used Meyer Sound's RMS remote monitoring system to track the status of the loudspeakers. "RMS is a fundamental tool because it allows you to monitor in real time what is happening with the equipment," notes Cuadros.
The 58-year-old Santana, winner of 10 Grammy awards, performed old favorites as well as new tunes, including unforgettable classics such as Oye Como Va, Samba Pa Ti, Jingo, and Black Magic Woman.
