BANGKOK,
Thailand – Rajamangala National Stadium in
Bangkok, Thailand recently drew a huge turnout of fans for Coca-Cola Thailand’s
“Real Voice, Real Talent” concert, featuring performances from all 59
contenders of The Voice Thailand
television series. For the event, Ten Years After Audio (TYAA) deployed its new
HARMAN JBL VTX line array system and Crown I-Tech HD amplifiers.
The “Real
Voice, Real Talent” concert featured a large, square stage set up in the middle
of the stadium, with loudspeakers and amplifiers on all four sides of the
stage. The main PA system featured 36 JBL VTX V25 fullsize line array elements,
flown in left-right arrays of nine elements each, at the front of house and
opposite sides of the stage. These were supplemented with a total of 32 VTX S28
subwoofers, deployed on the ground in four cardioid-configured arrays of eight
each.
The other
two sides of the stage featured left-right arrays of six JBL VERTEC® VT4889 fullsize line array elements
each, for a total of 24 VT4889 elements. A total of 24 VERTEC VT4880 subwoofers were on these two
sides of the stage, deployed on the ground in four cardioid-configured arrays
of six each. Powering the loudspeakers were 32 Crown VRack 12000HD
amplification systems (for a total of 96 I-Tech 12000HD amplifiers). Utilizing
the built-in signal distribution and on-board DSP resources of the VRack
12000HD’s, TYAA was able to drive the entire system with JBL V5 tunings,
maximizing the performance and linearity of the VERTEC and VTX loudspeakers.
Sixteen
JBL STX815 loudspeakers were pole-mounted for supplementary fill, with
additional STX815 loudspeakers for stage monitors, powered by eight Crown I-Tech
4x3500HD amplifiers. Soundcraft Vi6 and Vi1 consoles were each used at the FOH
and monitor positions, with system design and management handled by JBL HiQnet
Performance Manager™.
“We
collaborated on the system design with Performance Manager, virtually building
the system together within the framework of the software, and it was an
incredibly smooth process,” said Eric Friedlander, Business Developer, Tour
Sound, Crown Audio (who provided onsite support for the event). “TYAA worked
with [Senior Manager, Tour Sound for JBL] Paul Bauman to optimize the PA
virtually in JBL Line Array Calculator 2, so when setting up the system, we
simply had to load the Performance Manager file into the amps and it made for a
phenomenal starting point.”
“In
addition, Performance Manager was key in setting up the cardioid subwoofer
configurations on-site,” Friedlander added. “Setting up the proper DSP with one
click on a speaker in Performance Manager enabled TYAA to simply deploy the
subs knowing the optimal settings were already in place.”
This was
the first event at which TYAA used its full VTX system, which it purchased through
Mahajak Development Co., Ltd, HARMAN’s Thailand distributor.
“Unquestionably, it is a great honor for us to have this
opportunity to employ world-class audio systems for the best performance for
our customers,” said Chavalit Mahaviriyakul of TYAA. “We could not be more
confident in HARMAN and Mahajak, as well as our decision to upgrade to the JBL
VTX series.”
