Event

Padua’s Prato della Valle is a one-of-a-kind location for hosting large events. Approximately 80,000 people celebrated in the colossal square for New Year’s Eve 2019/2020. The event, which was sponsored by the City of Padua and organized by Radio Company and Future Vintage Festival, featured performances by numerous artists and DJs. Shortly after midnight, rapper Fabri Fibra took to the stage as the headlining act. With an area of 88,000 square meters, Prato della Valle is one of the largest town squares in Italy. Mazzon Service’s technicians, who are very familiar with the location, expected more than 50,000 attendees. For the main PA, they chose the HDL 50-A, the most powerful line array module of the RCF HDL series. Following the flawless organization and the huge success of the festivities, the city of Padua plans to repeat the event.

GULLY GANG ENTERTAINS WITH RCF HDL SERIES

The rap genre has recently been resurrected as the mainstream music in India. Hip-hop artist and rapper Divine, aka Vivian Fernandes, one of the pioneers of the underground Indian hip-hop rap scene, is creating a buzz across the nation with his hard-hitting tracks. In 2019, Divine notably contributed to the soundtrack of Bollywood’s blockbuster musical drama film Gully Boy, inspired by his (and peer Naezy’s) street rapper days.

With his knack for penning his own hits songs, along with an electrifying live act, along with meticulous flow, and his approachable persona, Divine has become hugely popular since founding the Gully Gang. Chennai recently witnessed his high-adrenaline show at Phoenix Market Chennai Courtyard. Along with DJ JD, and rapper Shaw Rule, Divine’s Gully Gang captivated the crowd with his popular numbers.

Soundgear from Chennai were the rental partner who provided an RCF HDL series PA for the event. “We have been in the pro-audio and lighting rental services for the past 12 years. Our main focus is on live sound reinforcement and we handle a lot of live bands and artists, music festivals, corporate gigs and weddings,” says Balaji, Director of Soundgear. He continues, “For the Gully Gang show, we deployed 12 RCF HDL-50A and 12 SUB 8006-AS for FOH. Additionally for both centre fills and delay, six RCF HDL 20-A per side have been deployed for more even coverage across the 2,000 capacity venue. Our client, Phoenix Chennai & Times of India, appreciated our efforts and the band’s sound engineer, Adhiraj Singh, who had the pleasure of operating the system, had nothing but good things to say about it.”

RCF EQUIPS NEW £84M WELSH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE CENTRE WITH END-TO-END AUDIO

When the £84m International Convention Centre Wales (ICCW) opened in September last year, it was not only the first of its kind in Wales, but this joint venture between the Welsh Government and the Celtic Manor Resort has delivered an astonishing 26,000 sq.m. of floor space for meetings, conferences and exhibitions (the size of four international rugby pitches).

Incorporated within this is a 4,000 sq.m., pillar-free, multi-reconfigurable main hall, which threw up many challenges for technology contractors, Stage Electrics. Their solution was to specify an end-to-end workflow from the extensive RCF catalogue, tying nearly 800 speaker products (and over 1,000 RCF components in total) into a multi-use PA in the main hall and mobile systems for the meeting rooms, merged into a fully-compliant PAVA environment.

Stage Electrics were awarded the contract for A/V, lighting (including public space), technical loose equipment and stage engineering consultancy, as outlined by Russell Phillips, VP, Facilities and Development at Celtic Manor. But first Simon Cooper, who led Stage Electrics’ engineering team, along with Business Development Manager Saul Eagles, needed to initiate a stringent, but uncompromising cost-cutting programme to bring it into budget.

Stage Electrics have enjoyed enormous success installing RCF systems into a wide range of applications for over 15 years, as Dan Aldridge, their Commercial & Projects Director, points out.

RCF DISTRIBUISCE I MICROFONI DPA IN ITALIA

RCF è lieta di annunciare una nuova partnership di distribuzione commerciale per l’Italia relativa ai prodotti DPA Microphones.

DPA Microphones è l’azienda che ha trasformato i microfoni di misura più noti e precisi al mondo nei microfoni pro-audio più realistici e naturali disponibili sul mercato.

Oggi DPA fa parte del gruppo audio italiano RCF Group.

I microfoni DPA contano su oltre sei decenni di esperienza nella progettazione di microfoni innovativi. La lunga storia di precisione e ricerca della perfezione di DPA è tuttora immutata e rappresenta il più alto standard qualitativo in tutte le applicazioni audio in studio, broadcast, teatro, cinema e nel live professionale. Ogni microfono è assemblato a mano nella fabbrica all'avanguardia in Danimarca. Sono necessari fino a 200 passaggi per assemblare un microfono DPA. Durante il processo, ogni capsula viene calibrata fino a 15 volte prima dell'approvazione finale.

Lo sapevi?

D:dicate™ 4006A di DPA è uno dei microfoni pro-audio più accurati al mondo e deriva direttamente da uno dei più accurati microfoni di misura.
Prendi una capsula microfonica DPA e ingrandiscila fino alle dimensioni di un campo da calcio. Ora avvia un motore a reazione, a 60 metri di distanza. Il diaframma si sposterebbe di solo 4 mm. Prova ora ad immaginare il movimento infinitesimale del diaframma alla dimensione reale di 4 x 5,5 mm.
I microfoni DPA vengono utilizzati per registrare tutti i tipi di suono, a qualsiasi livello in tutto il mondo, anche in Antartide, dove sono stati utilizzati per catturare il suono (molto silenzioso) dei fiocchi di neve.
Non solo sulla Terra. Sono stati usati due microfoni DPA - antenati del 4004/4007 - per registrare il decollo dell'Apollo 13, mentre un sistema microfonico basato sulle capsule DPA 4006 è incorporato nel Mars 2020 Rover che atterrerà su Marte nel 2021.

The company TRIACS has the necessary know-how and the right feeling, which is important for our events. A sound system with high speech intelligibility and deep basses is vital for the moderation and the desired emotion when the fighters move in.
