USA - Over 1000 bassists from around the world -including low-end luminaries Stanley Clarke and Avishai Cohen - flocked to Oklahoma City University for the recent International Society of Bassists Convention, a week-long programme of clinics and concerts celebrating the four-stringed thunderstick.

Cory's Audio Visual Services (OKC), supplied a combination of Dynacord Cobra-2 line array TOP boxes and PWH subs, EV monitors and mics, a Midas Verona console and Klark Teknik outboard gear for the show, ensuring every step of the signal chain was impressive for the ISB's numerous live events and breakout rooms.

"We are really happy with how the Dynacord, EV, Midas and KT equipment all works and sounds together in this system," says Preston Williams of Cory's, himself a bass playing OCU alumni, who mixed FOH for the ISB concerts. "We can utilise this rig in a variety of different applications, from the big ISB bass bash to a conference downtown to a rock concert in a field."

With the absence of flying ability in the Kirkpatrick Auditorium at OCU, Cory's ground stacked the Cobra-2 TOPs on the PWH subs using wedge plates; EV ZX1s were used as front fills to ensure even coverage throughout the listening area, including the balcony. Powered SxA250s on sticks and EV RE-2 wireless systems were deployed for the breakout rooms to guarantee sound quality was consistently high throughout the entire conference.
