The system was deployed in left and right hangs of six Kudo cabinets and two SB28 high-power subwoofers each side, with a centre cluster of six dV-Dosc modular line source cabinets. A further four dV-Dosc cabinets were used for down-fill. Meanwhile, 12 8XT compact coaxials were used for left, right and rear surround, with eight 12XT high performance coaxials as stage monitor. The whole system was powered by four LA4 and eight LA8 amplified controllers.
"I'm very familiar with L-Acoustics cabinets as I have used them many times," says FOH engineer Mr He Biao. "They always deliver high performance levels for every show, which I find really impressive. I like the three-way, quad-amplified design of the Kudo system, which delivers clarity, precision, and intelligibility for vocal material, giving a unique near-field perception and an incomparable listening experience. Thanks to the Kudo system, we have all enjoyed a great performance of Blue Fantasy."
The performance, which had a romantic and mystical flavour, formed part of 2009 Qingdao International Marine Festival.
