Jean-Michel Jarre on Apex Intelli-X
EML Productions has used its new Apex IX 48 Intelli-XSpeaker Management Systems for a major live event
featuring Jean-Michel Jarre, staged in Antwerp to mark the
opening of the new Eurocam Media Centre.
The Centre will form an important cluster of companies involved with High Definition Television (HDTV). Housing several media companies, together with eight television and movie studios on site, the Centre will be one of the most important infrastructures for TV and movie recording in the Benelux.
At its official inauguration, a huge live event was staged
in the main TV studio owned by Alfacam, with headliner Jarre broadcast live on HD1, Euro1080's HDTV channel. PA provider EML Productions, which recently embarked on a programme to replace all the processors in
its inventory with Apex Intelli-X speaker management systems, was using a large number of its new units to do the show, providing component alignment, EQ and system delay for the Adamson PA system.
Joost Machiels, EML account manager for the event, explained that the main PA was comprised of two clusters of eight Y-10 Adamson cabinets,
with four EML Subs per side, used for the opening act, Novastar. Jarre's
performance used a surround system, consisting of six clusters of
Spektrix.
Said Machiels: "In each corner, we installed a cluster of four Spektrix
and two Wave cabinets by Adamson. Each cluster was aligned
with an EML Sub. The central cluster only had four Spektrix
cabinets, but was repeated with a delay cluster of four Spektrix.
"The Intelli-X is used for EQ and delaying of the system, as well
as aligning components," continued Machiels, "and, if necessary, for protection of the system. As well as the Intelli-X, we used four Apex Intelli-Q units, as system EQ for the eight clusters in total. Both these units are very userfriendly, and they can be combined and controlled easily as one system on the PC. Of course, the main reason why
the Intelli-X is used is because of its outstanding audio
quality."
