Germany - Sirius Showequipment AG recently provided a live sound reinforcement system for a concert in Rostock, Germany held in protest of the G8 summit. The concert drew an audience of more than 70,000, bringing together a lineup of international artists and political figures to address the issue of poverty around the world.

The two-day concert featured artists including Brigada Flores Magon, Mono und Nikitaman, Patchanka and Chaoze One, as well as several speakers and short films. The PA system included 64 JBL Vertec full-size line array elements, with VT4880 subwoofers arranged in matching arrays directly beside the VT4889 arrays.

"We chose the Vertec line arrays because they are very efficient and able to cover all styles of music during a concert like this," said Wolfgang Neumann of Sirius Showequipment. "Everybody was really happy with the performance of the system."

Given the size of the concert, considerable preparation was put into providing an adequate PA system. "With an event this size you have to make sure that people in the very back can understand every word coming from the sound system," Neumann added.
