Audiospectrum Chooses KF760 For Radio City Concert

The first-ever U.S. concert by legendary Italian composer Ennio Morricone, who recently received an Academy Award for his film score work, was held at New York City's famed Radio City Music Hall with sound reinforcement supplied by Audiospectrum. The Boston-based sound company chose to deploy its EAW KF760 Series line arrays for the sold-out concert, which featured Morricone (probably best known for the iconic score for The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly) conducting a 200-piece orchestra on the Radio City stage.

The Audiospectrum team, headed by Rafael Jaimes, put together a system offering dual arrays comprised of 10 KF760 modules above dual KF761 modules that provided wider coverage for the front seating regions. A dozen EAW SB1000z concert subwoofers were stacked to each side, with several EAW JFX260 compact loudspeakers posted on stage for supplemental front fill.

"The room presents many challenges - a limited amount of rigging points, with these points also very close to walls and seats right underneath them, as well as an LED wall that can block the arrays and a mixing position under a low balcony," explains Jaimes. "Despite it all, we addressed every challenge and came up with solutions that resulted in excellent reinforcement." Fine tuning of the system within the space was done with an assist from the EAW Smaart tuning and optimization platform.
