TIRANA, Albania — On June 27, Kuadr Events hosted the Alpha Show III hip-hop event in Air Albania Stadium. Albanian Sound, Lighting & Video (ASLV) provided a 360-degree stage design that included 90 Outline GTO C-12, 16 Superfly, 28 Mantas 28, 12 GTO-SUBs, and 80 DBS 18-2 sub-bass enclosures.
More details from Outline (www.outline.it):
The entire system was powered by Outline GTA-Series amplifiers, with part of the GTO-series loudspeakers supplied by Gigant Sound Letus, Europe’s largest GTO inventory holder, through a collaboration within Outline’s rental network.
Bill Michailidis, the FOH engineer for the event, shares his insights:
“The GTO C-12’s waveguide uniformity is a crucial feature for shows of this scale. What sets it apart from other high-end systems is its ability to manage high SPL levels without distortion or performance limits.”
He notes, “A major challenge at Air Albania Stadium was dealing with the extensive reverberation time. Even as an open-air venue, the echo was a factor, especially in the corners of the tiers.”
“For the 360-degree design, the key challenge was optimising coverage. I had to carefully decide on the positions for the fills and subs to achieve optimal center square rejection and balanced low-frequency coverage, ensuring perfect system phase alignment.”
