K Series Delivers Unparalleled Concert Sound at the Super 818 Party Night
The Super 818 Party Night, an automobile exhibition and pop music fusion event held at the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Expo City, showcases an exemplary blend of technology and entertainment. Central to this event’s success was the impeccable audio experience provided by L-Acoustics Certified Provider Distributor Rightway Audio Consultants (Racpro), employing the renowned L-Acoustics K2 line-array system.
The Challenge
The event presented a unique challenge with its innovative stage design: two separate performance areas surrounded by an oval track for a vehicle showcase, all within a spiral structure leading to a central platform for musical acts. The key challenge was to provide full-range sound coverage for the audience while navigating the complex stage layout and ensuring that the sound system remained unobtrusive to multiple broadcast camera sightlines.
The Solution
To address this, Racpro, in collaboration with D&S Stagecraft Engineering, implemented a sophisticated sound system design. They deployed seven hangs of eight K2 line arrays symmetrically around the 360-degree stage. This setup included five line arrays for the main audience area and two additional hangs of 10 K2 each as side fills on the stage. The placement of these hangs was meticulously planned to avoid interference with stage structures, lighting, and projection screens. Twenty-six KS28 L-Acoustics subwoofers were employed to enhance the low-frequency sound, while Kara boxes were used for on-stage monitoring.
