For the tenth year running, the event's organizers relied upon production company TC Showtechnik of Uffing am Staffelsee in Upper Bavaria to provide sound reinforcement. The team, led by managing director Martin Schulze and Stefan Rehthaler, opted once again to use systems from EVI Audio.
This year the centrepiece of TC's sound reinforcement concept was the Electro-Voice XLD compact line array system the company acquired in May 2007. "We were full of enthusiasm for the performance of this system," recalls Schulze. "Ski jumping is the kind of event that pushes any rig to its limits, not simply because it has to project over distances as great as 140m, but also because it represents a severe endurance test for the materials."
