Having worked with the venue many times previously Nitelites know how to maximise system coherency in an unusually high building with several tiers, and the active TTL33-A - set in two hangs of 11 elements - provided even coverage for the stalls and both balcony areas, up to a level of 14m.
In addition, Nitelites ground-stacked a further three TTL33-A 's left and right of the stage, to draw the image back down to the nearfield stalls area. But probably the biggest breakthrough was their deployment of a pair each of the new-generation TT1-A and TT2-A , the former was used for under-balcony-fills and the latter for stage, left and right front-fill.
This configuration proved a big success. The Brand New Heavies' FOH sound engineer Mike Fitzsimons, pronounced that he was "blown away" by the system SPL on his debut with the TT+. "The system was absolutely amazing - it's hard to believe it's such a compact box until you look up and see it. I'd be delighted to see it appear on the next venue spec I receive."
Nitelites director Andy Magee corroborated this. "Performance wise it maintained its coherence from area to area - and much of that was due to the use of RDNet " [RCF's proprietary control and monitor network which is compatible with the TT+ range].
"It's easy to set up EQ's, delays etc because of the DSP in the loudspeaker enclosures and it will then scan all individual components and receive a visual reference should any warnings be flagged. We used RDNet to align all sources which was essential, since this was a large production with a brass section."
