Tom Clark, Syntonic's managing director and project manager for the Primerica show, commented on his firm's first experience using the LightViper: "We used the LightViper for the first time. I wanted to specifically replace the unwieldy copper snakes we usually take to big shows like this one. Not only did the system save us significant labour costs, set-up time and shipping expense - it performed perfectly.
"It really is a 'plug n' play' copper snake replacement solution. For the Primerica show we used it as a 'drive snake' to handle the audio outputs from the FOH mixing console to the amp stacks located behind the large stage. We used most of the LightViper's 32 inputs for a critical house audio run of about 75ft. Normally, a copper snake run this long would have taken four men and about an hour to get just this part of the system hooked up. With the fiber optic LightViper, two of our crew had the main console-to-house audio ready in less than a half hour."
