Protec supplies Sensation
December 18, 2017
UAE: The fourth edition of touring EDM show Sensation to be held at Dubai’s Meydan Racecourse saw event organisers and producers Envie Events call upon the services of Protec, having worked with the production company on several previous events. Protec supplied the full production infrastructure, including audio, lighting, backline, stage and set elements and full rigging services.
‘The audio was fairly straightforward,’ said Simon Travis, Protec project manager. ‘We provided 32 flown L-Acoustics K2s on the main hangs, above which were two K1 subs on each of the hangs, all powered by 11 LA-Raks containing 18 LA8 amps. For the front-fills they set four positions of 12 L-Acoustics Kara enclosures, powered by the LA8 amps. Subwoofers comprised 15 per side SB28s. L-Acoustics amps and speakers were also used for DJ monitors and wedges which comprised three Kara elements per side on top of a pair of SB18 subs.’ Meanwhile, a compact Bose PA system and L-Acoustics Syva cabinets covered the two VIP areas.
A DiGiCo SD10 was employed at FOH, with all amplifiers networked so they could be monitored, with signal transmission via Neutrik fibre optics. An Antelope Audio lsochrone OCX Clock and Lab.gruppen Lake LM44s handled processing, as well as Macs, which controlled playback and processing, including Smaart, and DIs for the DJ equipment.
