MLA takes to the streets at MusikFestiWels
- Details
Martin Audio’s territory distributor k24 Technik & Vertrieb supported its customer, service provider Sound & Light Systems, who fielded a premium MLA Compact PA on the main stage, while lighting was provided by Powerland.
While Sound & Light Systems provided its full inventory, this was augmented by MLA Compact enclosures from Schallmeister, enabling the main stage system to be designed around 20 MLA Compact (10 elements per side) and nine MLX subwoofers in a cardioid left/centre/right array. In addition, four XD12 provided front-fill, BlacklineX12s and WS18X subs were on side-fill duties, four W8LM Mini Line Array served as delays and LE1500 as stage monitors.
Providing technical back-up were Johannes Stummer from k24 assisted by Martin Audio’s product support engineer Nigel Meddemmen.
Strict noise curfews were placed during this outdoor event, but production was able to meet all offsite requirements via the optimisation presets in the proprietary DISPLAY software. System set-up was overseen by Meddemmen.
In addition to the musical acts, 20 YouTube stars from Austria and Germany who have helped to inspire the younger generation, also appeared on the main Kaiser-Josef-Platz stage on the opening night.
