SEATTLE — The Seattle suburb of Bothell, WA, was the site for the May 11 homecoming concert by local hero and American Idol finalist Blake Lewis. The American Idol crew was on hand to film Lewis and his four-piece band perform in a local park. Mills Music of Seattle supplied the PA; Mills’ Ric Webb manned the mix on the Midas console.
The crew used the Dynacord Cobra-2 ground-stacked line array system, along with an array of Electro-Voice microphones and monitors, Klark Teknik Square One processing and a Midas Verona 320 for FOH & Monitors double-duty.
“It sounded fantastic,” says Webb, “The Cobra combines plenty of power, complete coverage and superb sound quality while keeping sightlines open, both for the live audience and the additional 30 million viewers watching the show on TV! Even though we were down in a concrete bowl, the Cobra threw deep into the audience areas with plenty of SPL, all with no delays necessary. …[E]veryone heard the show loud and clear — even above the screaming girls!”
