Polster adds: "The biggest advantage of using the Cohedra system for this event was its light weight; we also liked the exact dispersion of the system and the accurate, transparent sound."
A mix of international, pannonical folk music, classical music and theatre, Coming Home featured an Austrian choir and the Hungarian orchestra Savaria, conducted by Christian Kolonovits, who as well as being the conductor of the VSOP (Vienna Symphonic Orchestra Project) is also a famous musician in Austria.
The musical was staged at the Burgenlandhalle exhibition centre in Oberwart, which has a capacity of around 2,000 people. A 2x8 Cohedra system - four each of the Cohedra CDR 208 T and S mid/high cabinets per side positioned alternately, together with 16 Cohedra CDR 210 Sub subwoofers ground-stacked under the 28m wide stage, was used for the duration of the show, which ran for five performances. eXact's system technician Ing. Thomas Hasenauer used Cohedra software to enable precision alignment of the mid/ high array and achieve the best possible audio results and optimal SPL distribution.
