Germany - Millions of viewers witnessed comedy talent Ingo Oschmann say, during Pro 7's talent show 'Star Search': "If I win, I'm inviting all Bielefeld to a party." He won and he kept his word. On 19 October, in front of the Bielefeld's fashionable Movie discotheque, a huge party got underway beneath a banner that read 'Ingo says thanks!' Despite the popularity of the show, the organizers were still surprised when more than 10,000 fans streamed to the city centre and turned the forecourt of the railway station into a huge open-air arena.

Local sound company, Showtime Präsentations GmbH, were prepared, fortunately, with two Dynacord Cobra-4 systems, although the stage design meant they could only use one-and-a-half. But as Showtime's managing director, Volker Skopp, explained, even this set-up provided more than adequate coverage. "We received excellent feedback on the sound, not just from the talent but also from the fans," said Skopp after the show. A long-time fan of the Cobra compact line array system, Skopp comments. "The Cobra combines the advantages of a line array with that of a classic stacking system. It is undoubtedly the easiest system to handle and on top of that it delivers a powerful and balanced sound. Even under the difficult circumstances here, it was fully present 80m away and the intelligibility was excellent."
