CIUDAD VALLES, Mexico – Troya Eventos, an audio production services provider in Mexico, recently deployed a JBL VerTec line array system to support the Fenahuap music festival. The 20-day event featured a multitude of performances from leading acts such as Juri, Aklex Syntec, Sasha, Sin Bandera and Pitbull on stages throughout the event grounds.
Troya was responsible for the sound reinforcement of the festival's main stage. Alberto Gonzalez, Troya production manager, focused on achieving the right coverage and output for the large crowds attending the outdoor setup. The company needed a system that would cater to the needs of the talent on stage while also ensuring that weather and other factors would not affect the sound quality.
"We chose VerTec line arrays for their reliability, easy setup and excellent performance in extreme environments, which is what Fenahuap is known for," said Gonzalez. "VerTec equipment is also a global industry standard accepted by international artists, which makes our job much simpler."
Troya outfitted the main stage at Fenahuap with 36 VT4889-1 full-size line array elements – 24 for the main system and 12 for the outfill. Twenty-four VT4880 full-size arrayable subwoofers provided low-end reinforcement, while the stage monitor system included eight VT4887A compact line array elements. Crown I-Tech 4000 and I-Tech 6000 amplifiers powered the system.
"I felt completely comfortable with the JBL equipment throughout the entire festival," said Gonzalez, crediting its reliability and ease of use of the VerTec gear purchased through Hermes Music, JBL's representative in Mexico.
