For distributing the on-site audio, the organizers of the live open-air concerts of Andrea Bocelli in New York and Belo Horizonte (Brazil) used a RockNet installation from Riedel Communications. The audio distribution within the two locations was one of the major obstacles, notes audio engineer Andrea Taglia, who was responsible for both shows. While the location in the New York Central Park was of nearly 600 x 1,000 feet, the location in Belo Horizonte was even larger; including an over…

The La Maison Symphonique de Montréal, new home of the Montreal Symphony Orchestra, was built to exacting acoustical standards by Tateo Nakajima of Artec Consultants and will host a wide range of musical and theatrical performances. While most of the publicity surrounding the building’s opening is justifiably centered on the acoustics, La Maison is just as sophisticated behind the scenes, with Artec Consultants designing a comprehensive yet intuitive paging system.

Previously (here), I discussed the scope and goals of OCA, but there is another question…
