Spread over an area nearly 500m wide, Goguet's design comprised a total of 96 Mica, 78 M'elodie and 20 Milo line array loudspeakers, along with a handful of UPA-1P and UPM-1P loudspeakers for fill.
"Considering the architectural perspectives of the scenery and the constraints of limited heights and no scaffolding, I created a distributed system of 22 main and ten secondary arrays," Goguet explains. "The coverage was seamless across the entire audience area, with excellent intelligibility everywhere."
Dispatch's Marc de Fouquières observes that despite having the equipment coming from several different providers, combining it into a single, cohesive system was easily accomplished. "Meyer Sound equipment is so consistent, it's never a problem to integrate it," Fouquières says. "The bigger challenge was to position the equipment over such a vast area."
