The package assembled by MS-Max Company included 12 EAW JFL210 compact line array modules and four EAW JFL118 subwoofers. Processing is handled by the EAW UX8800 digital signal processor, and the system is powered by Crown MT-series amplifiers.
The circus, which features such spectacles as tigers, lions and other large animals, is performed in the round. The biggest issue with the sound system was that it evenly cover the 360-degree audience area with clear, uniform dispersion.
When approaching the installation and implementation of the new system, MS-Max specialists Serge Velichko and Ilya Samoletov placed the loudspeakers in four separate arrays in the circus ring's centre, under a dome. By all accounts - including audience members, project supervisors, technical personnel, performers and even tigers - the system has provided transparent, rich sound with the right coverage to project the show's thrilling energy to every seat in the house.
