Talking to one another is golden – inclusive dance project “Babylon” with Cameo and LD Systems
This summer, the Große Sendesaal of Hessischer Rundfunk witnessed a special performance. In the Lorenz Foundation’s inclusive dance project “Babylon – Miteinander Reden ist Gold”. Working closely together, all those involved created an extraordinary live experience with powerful images and stirring music – supported by the technical team from eCon GmbH and a sound and lighting set-up from LD Systems and Cameo.
As the general technical service provider, eCon relied on an LD Systems MAILA® XXL line array ground stack system for the sound, which offered several advantages in the broadcasting hall: “The hr-Sendesaal venue is designed like a theatre, with a stage at ground level and raked seating,” explained Moritz Stüve. “At the back, the audience looks down on the stage from above, so we needed a sound system that was as slimline as possible
to minimise the visual impact.”
The system also had to be able to cover the elongated space evenly and without the use of delay lines. “Thanks to the large number of compact satellite speakers in the arrays, we achieve excellent coverage in the treble range,” explained Moritz Stüve. For the low- frequency range, eCon configured two MAILA® SUBs per side as a cardioid system to achieve a powerful and defined bass for the audience without overloading the stage – with its numerous instrument and vocal microphones – with too much level.
For the powerful production and the dynamic stage action, the team also had to find a lighting set-up that offered a lot of creative freedom despite the limited space. The Cameo AZOR® S2 spot moving head proved to be a compact yet luminous lamp for gobo projections and backlights. The AZOR® SP2 spot profile moving head was used as the classic front light, which provided
more depth on the stage with its integrated aperture sliders. “With the combination of AZOR® S2 and AZOR® SP2, we don’t need to worry about colour matching the individual fixtures,” said Stüve.
