Armed Man Berlin

ABacoustics have recently had the honour of working alongside our friends Rondo Media on their production of Sir Karl Jenkins' The Armed Man. The performance took place on November 2nd in the Mercedes-Bens Arena in Berlin to commemorate the centenary of the end of the First World War. The concert brought together The World Orchestra for Peace and 2000 singers from 27 countries under the conductorship of the great composer to perform the multi-faith, multi-lingual work where the text of the Catholic Mass is combined with other religious and historical sources, including the Mahabharata and the Islamic call to prayer. The unique performance featured a specially commissioned war archive film reinforcing the powerful narrative of the work projected onto five screens – the build up to war, war itself and…

Proms In The Park

Classical and musicals, Gigs
ABacoustics were delighted to be a part of the first Proms In The Park to take place in North Wales. We took our trusty EAW 730 PA system and Logic Systems CA rig to Parc Eirias in Colwyn Bay to provide sound for the BBC National Orchestra and Chorus of Wales, and their special guests:  Tony Hadley, Amy Wadge, Wynne Evans, and BBC Young Musician 2016, Sheku Kanneh-Mason. We also supplied all of our DPA 4060 and 4099 microphones for the string section of the orchestra - which left our shelves looking quite bare in the workshop! It was also the first outing for our new DPA D:Facto vocal microphones, which turned out to be a fantastic addition to our hire stock. Unfortunately we were unable to fulfil Tony Hadley’s…

Mike Peters & The Alarm: 30th Anniversary Concert

Classical and musicals, Home page slideshow, Rock and Pop, TV
Saturday's fantastic gig. Behind the falling poppies are Mike Peters, current members of The Alarm, John Quirke MD, Welsh Pops Orchestra and the Acquire choir. Thanks to everyone who helped make it happen - 94 mics/DIs and two Midas consoles at FOH . One of the best shows I've ever been involved in. Some of the songs are over 30 years old and are still good songs, but with the orchestration sounded sensational. ABacoustics provided loudspeaker system (EAW KF730), monitor system, consoles (Midas PRO1 and PRO2),  microphone package and engineers.
