Uno Maggio Taranto 2019

 

The entire RCF audio system was supplied by Francesco Epifani of the Phoenix Service, who describes the set-up: “The audio configuration for the event consists of a TTL 55-A vertical array of 16 modules per side and a TT55-A array side consisting of 10 modules per side. On the ground, stage front, were 36 TTS 56-A subwoofers in eight groups of three in line, in a cardioid configuration. For an even distribution of low frequencies over the entire field, the drivers have been distributed with a digital arc with an aperture of 110 degrees. ”Six TTL 33-A were also added as front-fill on the front profile of the stage.” 

 

Epifani continues “The venue is very long, so we added two delay towers, each consisting of six TTL55-A. The distance of the first tower from the main stage is about 55 meters. Regarding the distribution of the signals, I received a pair of stereo signals from the FOH mixer and a pair of stereo signals from the second mixer used as a ‘service line’. I also added a mono analog backup signal from both the FOH mixers. These were all transported via a Galileo 616 that I use as the main matrix and from which I send six signals to two Drive Racks placed under the main system via analog transport (Main Left, Main Right, Side Left, Side Right, Sub, Front Fill)."

 

The delay towers were controlled by a single drive rack that received two mono signals, one for each tower. The whole system was managed through an RCF Control8 which allows monitor and control of all the speakers via RDNet. All the processing of the audio signal such as delays, equalization and other interventions, was also carried out via RDNet.
