"For FOH, we flew two KF760 line array modules, plus two KF761 line array modules per site with optimal angles of boxes," recalled Lee Braganza, Rich Audio FOH and System Engineer. "The technical result was that the sound in the venue was perfect with no slap backs. To achieve this, we used two EAW UX8800 digital signal processors with presets for different sound zones."
The EAW processors, along with amplifiers from Crown Audio, were networked to a wireless tablet Laptop, which was equipped with EAW's Smaart Live to provide system correction according to venue and complete system management.
Richie Braganza, Rich Audio's founder, has long specialised in providing pro audio, lighting and trussing services for corporate and national artists, as well as high-profile special events. The company's new EAW and Soundcraft inventory now positions them to fully serve the needs of large-scale concert sound reinforcement as well.
