PRAGUE — Jazz piano player Chick Corea arrived in Prague to give a concert at the prestigious Smetanova Hall. RentalPro provided a NEXO GEO S8, CD12 front-of-house PA and a PS Series stage monitoring system. Although undemanding in terms of inputs — just 12 — sound reinforcement was controlled by an EtherSound network.
RentalPro flew NEXO GEO S8 arrays on either side of the proscenium arch stage, tucking the cabinets closely next to the decorative statues. Each array comprised nine S805s plus one S830 downfill box, completed by two CD12 subbass units on the floor below. Four pieces of NEXO’s PS8 cabinets were used as frontfill. A small number of PS10s were flown for the small section of audience sitting behind the stage area. More PS10s were also used as stage monitors.
Powered by CAMCO Vortex 6 amplifiers, the system was processed by NEXO’s NX242 loudspeaker management processors, fitted with ES4 cards to facilitate EtherSound network control of all systems from the front-of-house position, where the show was mixed on an InnovaSon SY48 console.
It was a high-profile show, which also had systems out on popular pop/rock band Chinaski (NEXO GEO T with CD18 subs) and with Czech superstar Aneta Langerova, performing in the Slovak Republic (NEXO GEO D and CD18).
