Featured Case Studies
Striving for the best sound
„Champs du Sound“: They strive for the best live sound to make the biggest open-air classical music concert truly unforgettable. Have a look behind the scenes of the preparations for this year’s Bastille Day in Paris.
Having mixed classical music and show tunes in 2015, this year’s Bastille Day celebration programme opened and closed with the same pieces – ‘The Damnation of Faust’ by French composer Hector Berlioz and the French National Anthem – but was a more conventional performance for the 250 musicians of the National Orchestra of France and the Radio France Choir, featuring French composers Bizet, Ravel and Saint-Saëns, as well as Mozart, Verdi and Beethoven.
The Ravenna Festival
Originally built for trade fairs and sports events, the Pala de Andrè venue in Ravenna (Italy) was first used by the Ravenna Festival about 15 years ago—mainly because of its capacity (it seats 3500) for performances by large symphony orchestras and choirs. Right from the start, the need for a solution to make the musicians feel at home and provide a satisfactory listening experience for the audience was obvious.
The first attempts to make the venue’s sound more palatable to classically-trained ears centered on acoustic treatment involving panels and drapery.
Then, Massimo Carli of BH audio discovered the power of d&b Soundscape for virtual recreations of the desired acoustic environment. In combination with the superior sound quality of Lawo’s mc²-series mixing consoles and their built-in remote control of d&b Soundscape, a sports venue was successfully turned into a virtual concert hall.
mc² 36 Console on Tour in Italy
With over 7 million albums sold to date, Luca Carboni is an award-winning singer-songwriter from Bologna, Italy, who embarked on his 24th tour in early October 2018.
Carboni’s FOH sound engineer, Massimiliano Salin, chose an mc² 36-24 console and a DALLIS I/O unit connected via a redundant RAVENNA link. This case study shows how Salin took advantage of the mc² 36’s features to achieve a powerful and highly detailed sound during the 14 gigs of the Sputnik Tour’s first leg before Christmas 2018.
