In May 2010 the seventh consecutive Pacifique dance music event was held at Serena Water Park in Espoo, Finland. The always sold out event gathers 3500 fans of electronic music annually to party the night away in very hot and wet conditions.
In the main hall there is a vast see-through glass wall with complete winter and snowy forests outside. Inside, the crowd is mostly dressed in swimwear, basically dancing barefooted and doing waterslides in bikinis. Due to the very special nature of the venue there has always been a demand for wireless technology for the event.
"In previous years we have tried different wireless DMX systems and have always experienced a number of problems or failures. When we heard about Lumen- Radio we immediately wanted to give it a try," says Lauri Halonen, longtime technical director of Pacifique.
LumenRadio's Finnish distributor Sun Effects worked together with Broadway Finland, the design and rental company involved. A multi-universe RDM/DMX system was delivered.
Lighting designer Jani Pellikka from Broadway Finland comments, "LumenRadio CRMX Nova worked perfectly, no problems at all. I really liked the ease of use and of course the reliability of it. With all the concrete, glass, water and people around, the challenges for a wireless system cannot get much harder anywhere than here."
