The Cobra system at the Charleroi concert.
Belgium - The open-air concert given by Sugar Daddy, Kana, Starflam and others in Charleroi on the 20th September 2003 was one of the highlights of last year's concert season in Belgium. As well as the superb line-up of artists, the great atmosphere and the audience of 40,000, the show also featured the Dynacord Cobra-4 compact line array system, which was making its first appearance on Belgian soil.

Jan Crutelle, system engineer with EVI Audio's Belgian partners Prevost, was advising the rental company Omega Production at the time and remembers: "Many of the Omega technicians simply refused to believe that so few - and such compact - enclosures really could be capable of covering an area of 100 x 80m. They soon learned differently!"

The technical tandem of Omega Production and Prevost opted to fly an approximately 6m high main system (right and left), consisting of a Cobra-4-Far, two Cobra-4 tops and two Cobra-2 downfills per side. Jan Crutelle said of the result: "The Cobra made quite a few friends that day. Because of its power, obviously, and the quality of its sound - but also among the crew because the setting-up and rigging was a breeze!"
