To ensure the sound was worthy of the setting, the tour organizers contracted Dvur Králové nad Labem-based rental company Sound Service to handle the sound reinforcement. For the Nazareth production, the team led by company chief Oldrich Skalický opted for an extensive Dynacord system, with a combination of horn-loaded Dynacord F12, FX 20 and FX 12 boxes combined with a Cobra 2 line-array system.
The system included six F12 CHW, two F 17 PWH, eight FX 20 and four F18 PWH enclosures stacked on each side of the stage. These were complemented by a cluster comprising two FX 12 and one Electro-Voice ZX5 enclosure flown centre-stage. "This cluster allowed us to reach the furthest row of the balcony," says Sound Service's Oldrich Skalický.
For the foldback, two CXM15 and two D12 speakers as well as a pair of Electro-Voice TX1122 FM wedges were used. Control and supervision of the loudspeakers was provided by three Dynacord DSP244 controllers.
