MTR-Production is being supported for this event by EV distributor Signal Sound & Light Distribution of Fohnsdorf. Signal MX Matthias Reinthaler commented: "The sound reinforcement at public viewing events such as these invariably poses a challenge, since people want to be able to hear and understand every word of the commentary even when - as is often the case - their fellow supporters are making the most almighty din."
To resolve this, MTR-Production proprietor Thomas Millmann and his team opted for systems from Electro-Voice: 24 Electro-Voice XLC127 DVX line array elements driven by 16 Electro-Voice P3000 amps form the centrepiece of the sound reinforcement concept. "It was the right choice," says Reinthaler, "not only because MTR-Production has been getting excellent feedback from the organiser but also because the weather has been absolutely dreadful, which has brought the outstanding resilience and reliability of Electro-Voice systems into play. So far, not one has let the side down - which is more, alas, than many of the trainers can say of their players."
