Raven PMG specializes in all aspects of event production and execution, including sound for touring artists, sporting events, music festivals, and more. This Halloween, the company was contracted to handle sound services for Halloween New Orleans, a four-day event designed to raise money for Project Lazarus, which helps people cope and live with HIV and AIDS. Equally notable, the company also handled sound for Hell's Gala, one of the largest Halloween parties in New Orleans. Jason Starkey, Raven PMG's audio systems coordinator, discussed his use of the D.A.S. Audio Aero Series 2 equipment.
"Both projects took place, of course, on Halloween," Starkey explained. "At the Halloween New Orleans event, we flew six D.A.S. Audio Aero 20A line array enclosures for the left and right sides of the stage and we ground stacked three LX-118A subwoofers per side. The venue had a rather low trim height and it was important to maintain a clear, uncluttered stage, so we did not feel the need for front fills. We also utilized two D.A.S. Action M12A powered stage monitors for the DJ booth."
"For the Hell's Gala project," he continued, "we deployed six Aero 20A enclosures per side and ground stacked three LX-118 subwoofers per side. We also used two Aero 20A enclosures for front-fills. This show also had a VIP section on each side of the stage, for which we utilized a single Aero 20A. The entire setup was run through a D.A.S. DSP-4080 stereo / mono signal processor. Further, we utilized two Action M12A stage monitors for the DJ booth."
