HAMBURG, Germany – PRG Germany is supporting a touring replica of Abba's 1979 performance at London's Wembley Arena called ABBA – The Concert performed by AbbAgain. The tour features more than a dozen musicians and 150 minutes of Abba songs, and to distribute audio at the various tour locations, the show is using a RockNet digital audio network from Riedel Communications.
To connect the stage and FOH into a single audio network, PRG Germany is using a set of three RockNet 100 interfaces, a cost-efficient alternative based on RockNet 300 technology. RockNet 100 provides 80 audio channels with 48 kHz/24 bit digital audio quality.
The RockNet 100 interfaces are combined with six RockNet RN.141.MY interface cards for digital Yamaha consoles. RockNet 's Independent Gain feature lets users control each input independently from various points of the network. This means different consoles can use the same input with different gain settings without a need for an additional passive splitter, simplifying installations.
"Using RockNet makes the installation and configuration of the audio network for shows a breeze," said Marco Mahl, account manager at PRG Germany. "The intuitive user interface of the devices allows for easy configuration even without a PC. Thanks to the modular approach we can easily add RockNet 300 modules such as a digital in/out interface to handle all our digital AES signals."
