Jan Smit first achieved stardom in his native Holland nine years ago. Since then, the vocalist has matured into an internationally acclaimed performer whose tours are among the most successful and lavish productions in the pop business.
The rental company responsible for Smit's upcoming tour of the Netherlands and Germany is Triple Showtechniek based in Purmerend. With a view to achieving perfect results acoustically, the Dutch touring company's audio specialists launched an investment offensive ordering an extensive package of Electro-Voice, Klark Teknik and Midas pro audio systems from the Dutch EV distributor, Electric Audio B.V and Midas Consoles Holland.
The shopping list included: 18 EV Xlc 127+; eight EV Xsubs; six EV RX-153; a selection of EV CP 2200, CP 3000, CP 4000 amps; Klark Teknik Square One; several Klark Teknik DN-9848 E system controllers; a Midas Heritage H 2000 (FOH); a Midas Heritage H 3000 (monitor).
Rene Tielen, Triple Showtechniek's MD, says: "For a tour in this category, you need the ultimate audio package. With the new systems, we can achieve the very highest standards." Tielen's colleague, Marco Hovius added: "The advice and start up / rehearsal support we received from Midas Consoles Holland and Electric Audio B.V. was outstanding. The new setup brings our company defiantly to a higher standard in concert sound."
