Paradigma’s Busy Summer

Paradigma have enjoyed a busy few months, installing and renting premium Martin Audio systems throughout the country.

The 1200-capacity Liquid Club in the mediaeval city of Sibiu/Hermanstadt (situated in the heart of Transylvania) based the specification for its heavy weekend sessions on the famous Martin Audio sound represented in iconic London clubs like Fabric and the Ministry of Sound.

Equipment on the main dancefloor comprises four Blackline H3 enclosures (bi-amped) and three S218 subs. A separate VIP area is served by two Blackline F12’s, with a further pair of F12’s giving the DJ, in his highly-specified booth, industry-standard reference monitoring.

The entire system, offering 29,600W (peak power) is under the management of Martin Audio’s dedicated DX1 system controller, and is powered by Crest amplification.

Elsewhere, La Cucaracha in Mamaia — overlooking the Black Sea — is a beach destination bar, designed to appeal to popular taste.

Paradigma have designed a system based around four Blackline F10’s surrounding the main dancefloor, with a single S218 handling the sub frequencies. The peripheral area is served by 14 x C115 Contractor series speakers, processed via the dedicated M3 Blackline controller and powered by Crown amplification.

Paradigma Group recently serviced a tour by Colombian star Shakira, staged by the Romanian government — again with Martin Audio sound reinforcement.

The front of house system comprised the Martin Synco system with 12 x W8LC’s per side, and Synco subs. The side bleacher fills were sub-hired from DB Team, Slovenia, and consisted of six flown W8LC’s per side supported by six WSX subs. Stage infills consisted of two stacks of four W8LM’s supported by WMX subs. ViewPoint™software was used to assist in rigging and system configuration.

For the show’s technical production (at the Dan Paltinisanu Stadium in Timisoara), Paradigma also provided all the stage structure, video and lighting.

Paradigma personnel on duty consisted of Adrian Ionescu (MD) and Christian Singer (GM). Also in attendance were Bostjan Konic and Dehran Zura from Martin Audio’s Slovenian distributor KSL (DB Team).

One of several dates in Eastern Europe, 25,000 people saw Shakira’s show, and concert promoters E-Magic were delighted with the quality of Paradigma’s production.
