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."
