From sports to music. From Beijing to Europe.
Lawo's mc²56 on European tour with 'The Ten Tenors'.
A new programme entitled ‘Nostalgica’, by Australian ensemble ‘The Ten Tenors’, has already inspired audiences in their home country. A two-week guest performance at the ‘Deutsche Schauspielhaus’ in Hamburg was the opening event of an extensive tour, taking place between November 2008 and March 2009, which will lead the singers to more than 50 cities in Europe.
Present at all the tour concerts will be a Lawo mc²56 console which – after its successful debut at Beijing 2008 – will make its first tour of Europe with The Ten Tenors. The console’s German premiere took place at the town hall in Marburg on 13th November, where it provided excellent sound for the audience – just as it will during the entire 2008/2009 tour.
With 144 DSP channels, a routing capacity of 3000 crosspoints, plus two DALLIS I/O units, the Lawo console, in a 16-C-16 frame, offers comprehensive capacity with the best possible audio quality.
The mc²56 console, used in this application as a FOH mixing desk, was supplied by Audio Broadcast Services (ABS), the rental company for equipment in the fields of broadcast, production and live events. ABS prepared the Lawo console in Rastatt, and imported and edited the previous console’s snapshots. That way the sound engineer could get to work straightaway, without any further setup time.
Also present at the start of the tour in Marburg was Matthias Paha, ABS Project Manager, who provided a training session for The Ten Tenors’ FOH sound engineer. Paha remained for the entire performance, in case assistance was required. However, no help was needed: the concert ran completely smoothly – another success for The Ten Tenors and the mc²56.
