Named by The Times as the Asian Björk, Sa DingDing sings in Tibetan, Sanskrit, and Mandarin. By mixing traditional Chinese melodies and Buddhist prayers with electronic instruments, she has inspired many with a spiritual musicality reproduced by a Meyer Sound system.
"Milo was used because it not only provides the power we needed for the size of venue but also gives us the dynamics," states Roland Chan, concert engineer of Shalom AV Technology.
To cover 3,600 spectators in the four-level Star Hall measuring 30,000sq.ft, a Meyer Sound system with 16 Milo and four Milo 120 line array loudspeakers was configured. Low frequency was supplied by four 700-HP and four 650-P subwoofers. Four UPA-1P loudspeakers provided front-fill. A Galileo loudspeaker management system provided signal processing and an RMS remote monitoring system offered extensive real-time status and system performance data. MAPP Online Pro acoustical prediction programme was used for system design.
"System setup is simplified with the help of MAPP. The prediction of sound level and coverage area is accurate. We save a lot of time in system tuning because the sound quality is already optimized for singing performances. Meyer Sound products make our life as concert sound engineers much easier," says Chan.
Miso Technology Company Limited provided musical instruments and a Venue mixing console for the concerts. "We are all satisfied with the whole system, which helped us deliver a great live performance of Sa DingDing," says So Wang Ip, Miso's sales and marketing manager.
