So, hands up who thinks that EtherSound and Optocore are incompatible? Well, in the immortal words of Ira Gershwin, it ain’t necessarily so, as was recently proved at the Belgian HQ of Amptec, professional audio distribution and sound solution specialists throughout the Low Countries. It ain’t necessarily complicated, either...

(This is an update to a previous note, posted here)

Per Wennling, who is accompanying the deployment of an EtherSound audio network at the Helsingborg City Theatre just notified us that the institution also -with his help- just installed EtherSound in one of the smaller stages. The devices used are one Yamaha LS9 console and one DME24N matrix plus Auvitran AVY16 ES100 ES-cards.
As stagebox the staff is using two Yamaha AD8HR and one Digigram ES8Out preconfigured in a Plug-and-Play-manner so they can be easily moved between the two stages (two different ES systems) without having to change any programmed setup. The DME24 feeds and processes the house PA system on and around the stage.

Francis Cabrel is one of France’s most successful and best-loved artists of all time. A talented singer/songwriter of the folk/blues genre, 2008 saw the release of his brand new album, “Des roses et des orties” (Roses and nettles). His first studio album since “Les beaux dégâts” in 2004 and the eleventh of his 30-year career to date, “Des roses et des orties” is described as his hardest-hitting album to date. However, still unmistakeably Cabrel with his trademark mix of melody and poetry, the new album has been rapturously received by the public who are currently turning out in droves the length and breadth of France to see their idol perform. Perfectionist that he is, Cabrel has left nothing to chance. At the heart of his technical team are his long-standing FoH engineer, Ludovic Lanen on his beloved INNOVASON Sy48, with Sebastien Bramardi (who is also Cabrel’s recording engineer) piloting an INNOVASON Sy80 on monitors, both running on an Ethersound network.

Then, there's an excellent opportunity for you to increase your visibility within the market place!
