During 2001 the German production company New Noise were constantly extending their inventory of Wavefront equipment. In addition to W8C/WSX stacks they have also invested in both the CM and CT Longthrows, which have debuted on a musical production for 6000 people at the Grugahalle (a well known hall for concerts and other events) in Essen, Germany.

The main PA consisted of seven W8C’s and W8CT, plus W8CM and six WSX subs — as well as a pair of W8C’s as nearfills for each side. The system was supported by a centre cluster with two W8C’s as bleacher-fills and two stacks
of W8C/W8CS.

Robert Eckerfeld, head of New Noise, enthused about the even coverage of the sound throughout the concert hall, and the excellent speech/voice output.

The enormous flexibility of the Wavefront system continues to surprise engineers and public alike — in fact almost the same configuration has recently been used for a large
Techno event.
