Egypt - The Cairo Opera House houses seven different stages and forms an umbrella organisation beneath which the city's music and dance companies, art galleries, museums, and training programmes can flourish. In addition to the high-calibre indoor events that have helped make the venue internationally famous, the organisers are now set to offer a programme of outdoor events, for which purpose they have invested heavily in systems from Electro-Voice from Egyptian partner Alpha Audio.The core of the new system comprises an Electro-Voice XLC rig, which includes eighteen XLC127DVX loudspeakers and eight XLC215 subwoofers. These are complemented by eight PX1122M, four QRx153/75 enclosures, and two QRx218S subwoofers. The system, which is equally suitable for the reproduction of music and the spoken word, is driven by nineteen TG5 amplifiers. The order placed with Alpha Audio included a variety of microphones from EV's N/D series.
