The purchase of Xirium system for the event included four transmitters and 20 receivers. One of the challenges of whole project was to get signal across roads and extended it more than 300m. Xirium was used in the repeater mode and thanks to the system's software technicians were able to see the signal strength in different areas and plan accordingly.
CCG was established in 1998 in GCC as a full service event management and production company. Through the years CCG has expanded tremendously to serve all aspects of the entertainment business in the Gulf Region and the Middle East.
"As the area was heavily crowded a normal signal cable could easily be damaged even with cable protectors it could still be tampered with. Xirium was placed in the main structures and was secure from any public interfere. The system saved us on a lot of long cable runs that saved a lot of time," commented Rikus de Kock, technical director at CCG.
"In spite of challenging audio system requirements for this event, Xirium system successfully matched our request. I have to mention that the usage of four transmitters and 20 receivers simultaneously was one of the biggest Xirium system set ups in the region so far. Working on 5.2 GHz frequency band and using DIWA protocol Xirium system cannot be interrupted by any other system and it has successfully proven its reliability at Qatar National Day where military wireless signal jammers are used. We were extremely glad to hear a positive feedback from the client," commented Pavel Aheunin, Neutrik product manager at NMK.
