HANOI, Vietnam – Fantasies Show Light, the Outline distributor for Vietnam, is also a rental company and provided gear for a New Year's concert at My Dinh National Stadium. The gear list an Outline vertical line array with of 32 Butterfly CDH 483 Hi-Packs with 16 SubTech 218 units.
The event, Happy New Year 2010, was sponsored by the Maritime Bank and organized by Vietnam's VTV3 TV. It drew a crowd of revelers and an artist roster that included My Tam, Lam Truong, Dam Vinh Hung, Hong Nhung and other pop, dance, hip-hop and country music performers.
The event's FOH engineer, Nguyen The Ngoc, credited the Outline Butterfly gear for being "one of the fastest and easiest to install. Its prediction software," he added, "is very accurate and provides further support. I always feel very secure with this object in my hands."
The crew also used a Midas XL3 console, XTA processor and Outline T7 amplifiers for power and control.
Fantasies Show Light recently acquired 12 of Outline's new Mantas, with 120° dispersion, a VLA weighing 24 kg (52.9 pounds). The Mantas are mechanically compatible with the Butterfly for front-fill applications, and they are able to push out 147 dB (peak SPL, 4 modules). The order also included four Subtech 218 and ten DVS 15 (1×15" – 1×3") multi-purpose enclosures, as well as four T7 power amplifiers.
Starting Jan. 30, Fantasies Show Light's Outlinearrays will be used to reinforce the sound at Rockstorm 2010, the first of a series of nine large-scale concerts planned for 2010.
"VTV3 needed to ensure all-round coverage of an audience of 35,000 people, but with a loudspeaker system that was compact, due to television broadcast requirements," noted Fantasies Show Light owner Dinh Viet Hung.
"Fortunately, the technology incorporated in the Butterfly also manages to satisfy these aspects too, as well as those involving FOH engineers; the result is everybody is always happy," Dinh Viet Hung added. "We are waiting for them to consign us the new Mantas, which are very lightweight and shall be used along with the Butterflies, especially in the concerts and the numerous average-sized applications," he said, noting increasing demand for those kinds of gigs.
