Karnaval SCTV celebrates Lubuklinggau

Indonesia:

To celebrate the 18th anniversary of Lubuklinggau, Indonesian variety show Karnaval SCTV broadcast live from Silampari Sports Park. The show included appearances from musicians, soap operas and television stars, and, in order to provide the 500-person crowd watching the event in the park with clear audio, AV integrator The Voices deployed a solution with products from Harman.

‘The client required a powerful sound system that could reach every member of the audience,’ said Liauw Wu Shen, owner of The Voices. ‘The system had to be dynamic and adaptable to deliver spectacular performance for a variety of music genres and performances. The event commemorated the 18th anniversary of Lubuklinggau city and hosted a variety of eminent celebrities, so reliability was extremely important. After considering these factors, we decided that the versatile JBL VTX series systems would be best suited for the project at Karnaval SCTV.’

The Voices supplied JBL VTX A8 line array loudspeakers paired with VTX B18 18-inch subwoofers for bass response. These were powered by a Crown VRack 4x3500HD amplifier rack that featured three Crown 4x3500HD amplifiers and a built-in distribution system.

‘We required a sound system that catered to three critical criteria,’ said Edison, sound engineer of Karnaval SCTV. ‘Firstly, the systems had to be powerful to deliver consistent coverage for every member of the audience. Secondly, the systems had to be dynamic to meet a variety of performance requirements. Finally, the systems had to be dependable, due to the calibre of the event. We are satisfied with the solutions provided by The Voices; they met all of our expectations.’
