d&b chosen for live audience broadcast in China
Online shopping website Tmall has held a live event in conjunction with Jiangsu TV to promote the 6.18 retail festival. This was not only the largest e-commerce holiday to happen in China since the Covid-19 pandemic, it also marked the first occasion that the broadcaster has permitted audiences back into its live shows since the Chinese New Year. A d&b audiotechnik sound system was supplied for the event by Nanjing Original Soundtrack Technology, a long-term partner of Jiangsu TV and d&b. The system was designed and operated by sound engineer Jin Shaogang and his team.
The show took place in the gymnasium of the Nanjing Youth Olympic Games Park and was broadcast live on Jiangsu Satellite TV, as well as being livestreamed and replayed on websites including Youku and Bilibili. The two-and-a-half hour event included performances from artists such as Nicholas Tse, Chris Lee (Li Yuchun) and GEM, drumming up online sales of almost one trillion RMB.
The main system consisted of a hang of 12 d&b KSL8 three-way line array speakers and eight SL-SUB subwoofers per side, with 28 V8 cabinets used for front-fill. A total of 28 M4 monitors were used to cover the entire stage evenly, ensuring that every performer benefitted from good monitoring. The system was driven by 55 D80 amplifiers and controlled using R1 software.
