Switzerland - Despite rain and less than summery temperatures, about 800,000 ravers attended this year's Street Parade. This, the 15th parade, opened by top DJ Sven Väth, took place on 12 August. Whitelight Licht & Eventtechnik, of Burgdorf, took over the sound supervision for techno-electro label Seilerhausproductions. The sounds of DJs Scaloni, Tomcat, Navis and Surfer were delivered vbia a K.M.E. QS 5 touring system, with 28 subs QBH 1181 and 15 top parts QSH 1122 with appropriate amplification. The systems were stacked U-shaped on the 32m long Love Mobile. According to the enthusiastic techno fans on the way, the mobile was one of the loudest but at the same time best-sounding of the whole parade, say K.M.E.

At night, the official after Street Parade party 'Energy 2006' was staged in five different locations in Zurich. For the hardcore party ("Hotter than Hell vs. Hellraiser") at the city hall Dietikon Whitelight Licht & Eventtechnik used for reinforcing the dance floor at the ground floor the K.M.E. line array system PANO. The setup of eight line array units (QL 906s) and eight subs (QLB 118s) with additional sub-basses (QBSL 1181) was used in active mode and delivered "glass clear sound with a powerful bass" according to K.M.E.

The orgainser, Dreamland Events, was using K.M.E. equipment for the first time and was so impressed with the clear sound of K.M.E.'s line array that they want to do future events only with K.M.E, the company reports. The dance floor at the basement was equipped with an additional QS 5 system consisting of 12 subs QBH 1181 and six top units QSH 1122. The monitoring was made by active monitors FM 1122 AE.

Philipp Wyss of Whitelight Licht & Eventtechnik comments on the PANO line Array: "The quality of the sound and in particular the excellent dispersion of the top unit QL 906 are absolutely perfect."
