So i Art Prat relies on Electro-Voice and Dynacord audio for its events

To cover events of different formats, the specialist So i Art Prat has strengthened his team Electro-Voice y Dynacord, by the hand of Axons, with a complete X2 line array system.

In order to expand your audio equipment and face demanding events, like him Summer Festival in it Camp de Mart of Tarragona and in the concerts of the main festival of Andorra la Vella, So i Art Prat have purchased a system X2 de Electro-Voice.

Ramon Sendra, usual collaborator of So i Art Prat, He has been the technician chosen to support the production team and responsible for the design and adjustments of the system for large events.

The Electro-Voice X2 system is made up of 2 bi-amplified pathways, designed in trapezoidal shape. With a power of 500W/150W they have protection IP55 its use outdoors, and is completed with units of subgraves X12-128 with two 18” speakers 2.000 Wrms each.

One of the reasons for choosing the X2 for So i ART Prat was its versatility. The challenge in post-pandemic concerts is that there is less audience in a very large space, which makes us reconsider the entire acoustic design of the event.

“The equipment performs well in a configuration of four boxes on each side of the stage, It is surpassed when there are eight of them and they are tremendously attractive when ten are chosen - explains Sendra.. In all cases, “The system keeps its personality intact and never leaves you indifferent.”.

At the Andorran festival concerts, a configuration of ten boxes per side was chosen., eight of them 90º and two less than 120º.

Up to twelve X12-128 subwoofers were also placed in an electronic arc.. For him frontfill four boxes were used XLD281 in triamplification.

sound control, located at 25 meters from the stage, offered 120 constant sound pressure db, taking into account the large dimensions of the space, with 3db measurements in the first row and 5 db in the last.

“In addition to the total versatility and versatility of the equipment, that can be used in all types of spaces regardless of their dimensions, Another factor that we technicians highly value is its easy handling and low weight when flying the units., since with an engine of only 500 Kg you can do the whole task”, Sendra points out.

The Camp de Mart space in Tarragona presented the complexity of providing sound for a stand of 6 meters high and 160º opening. Thanks to the pre-design carried out with the Electro-Voice and Dynacord: Preview y Sonicue, times were optimized to the maximum.

For the main PA, eight X2-212/90 boxes were used for vertical coverage.. Taking into account that the sound control was located above the audience, It was decided to direct two boxes of the line array.

To achieve a propagation of the lowest sounds with the X12-128 subs, eight units were placed in a physical line, except for the two furthest away, that were physically oriented at 90º. The amplification systems chosen were Dynacord TGX con Dante.
