BERLIN, Germany – German comic Cindy aus Marzahn kicked off her 80-date tour, titled Nicht jeder Prinz kommt uff'm Pferd, or Not Every Prince Comes on a Horseback, with three consecutive nights in Berlin's Tempodrom. Weimar, Germany-based adapoe Event und Studiotechnik GmbH is providing a Meyer Sound system for the tour. From her welfare collection to her quest to find prince charming, Cindy's eventful life story is the inspiration of her jokes that resonate with the sellout crowds throughout Germany.
"For us, the spoken word is the holy grail for each comedian," said Jörg Blumenstein, managing director of adapoe. "Any poorly reinforced gag and any punch line lost can ruin the experience of a comedy show. So intelligibility is our main priority. Additionally there is a complete rock 'n' roll band which has to fit into the mix."
The system setup for the Berlin shows featured two hangs with 12 MICA line array loudspeakers each, augmented by two outfill hangs of six M'elodie line array loudspeakers each and a center fill of two UPA-1P loudspeakers. Near fill was provided by two UPA-2P stacked on six 700-HP subwoofers. At stage lip were four UPM-1P covering the first few rows.
The setup also included a Galileo loudspeaker management system and its accompanying Compass control software controlled from a laptop at FOH. For system tuning, the crew used a SIM 3 audio analyzer. Four MJF-212A stage monitors and two UPA-1P loudspeakers served as foldback for Cindy.
Since the first shows in Berlin, the tour's audio engineers, Sebastian Wolf and Matthias Merker, have credited the sound system for its performance and for its ability to predict system coverage using the MAPP Online Pro acoustical prediction program.
"The large inventory of Meyer Sound systems at adapoe and the consistency of the different speaker models make our life so much easier on the tour," said Merker.
The tour continues through December 2010 with the last stop at Phillipshalle in Düsseldorf.
