Liu Huan’s Wan Shi Da Center Performance Thrills With HARMAN Professional Stage


BEIJING, China – For nearly two decades, singer/songwriter/history professor Liu Huan has delighted fans throughout China with his Mandarin popular music.. His signature suit and black braids are unforgettable as he continues to perform on the international level, including a 2008 Beijing Summer Games Opening Ceremonies appearance. At recent a performance at the Wan Shi Da Center, Huan entertained a crowd of more than 18,000 fans as he performed a vast number of his hits with the backing of a complete HARMAN Professional audio system.

Complete with Crown amplifiers, JBL VerTec line array elements, AKG microphones and Soundcraft digital consoles, a professional group of audio technicians and musicians, including artist San Bao and designer Jin Shaogang, gathered to ensure the HARMAN setup provided the perfect sound for the enthusiastic fans in attendance.

Performances included the former bassist of Lin Dian, Wang Xiaodong, jazz musician Kong Hongwei, the domestic lead-guitar player Li Yanliang, each accompanied by the Taurida Governorate Orchestra of St. Petersburg, Russia. Additionally, members of “The Voice of China” -- Zhen Hong, Liu Yue, Ji Ke Jun Yi, Quan Zhendong and Wang Naien – came on the stage to perform with Huan.

The pickup work using AKG microphones was designed, installed and debugged on site by HARMAN Professional Technical Manager Tang Lei. Fourteen AKG wireless microphones were used for main vocals and backup during the concert. To enhance stability and reliability of the wireless microphone system, an AKG HUB4000 Q was supplemented for monitoring. Additionally, the antenna system, which was composed of SRA2 B/W active directional broadband UHF antenna and PS4000W active broadband UHF antenna crossovers, was used to ensure the stability of signal transmission and provide the best RF power and advanced multichannel performance for the wireless microphone system.

Two Soundcraft Vi6’s and a Vi1 digital console had the responsibilities of FOH and monitor mixing, respectively.  According to Shaogang, the Soundcraft consoles performed perfectly, with complete stability in the audio signal.  It put a great finishing touch on the AKG wireless channels.

JBL VerTec VT4888 and JBL VT4889 series line-array speakers were deployed for the concert, with JBL VT4880 arrayable subwoofers at the front of the front stage. Forty-eight JBL VT4889-1 3-way line-array elements, 16 JBL VT4888 3-way line-array elements and 20 JBL VT4880A ultra-low frequency line array speakers were hung above the stage for full fill and side fill, with two groups of JBL VT4887 line array elements hung on each side above FOH to satisfy the audiences on the back field’s three floors.
