Doha International Tennis Court in Qatar recently hosted a concert for an audience of more than 10,000 by acclaimed Indian Bollywood pop singer Sonu Niigam, noted for his singing performances in a number of blockbuster Hindi movies.
Maestro Sound & Lighting Company of Bahrain was the provider of sound, lighting and video backdrops for the event, with the help of tour manager Vincent Rodrigues and event manager Shafiq of Regency group.
Doha International Tennis Court was not originally designed for outdoor music events, primarily suffering from extensive reverberation issues. Maestro overcame these difficulties with the help of it’s recently acquired loudspeakers from Adamson Systems, including Y-Axis Series, T21 subwoofers, and M15 stage monitors.
Specifically, the line arrays serving the event were comprised of Y18 modules and Y10 modules. Left and right hangs flanking the main stage consisted of four Y18 with four Y10 beneath. Sides were covered by stage-located arrays of four Y18 (per side) tilted upward.
Fill was handled by an array of four Y10 per side positioned on the balcony and firing at the upper bleachers. consisting of 4 Y10 per side was installed on the balcony to cover the upper bleachers. Multiple stacks of 21-inch-loaded T21 subs were distributed in multiple stacks on the ground.
David Dohrman, Adamson Europe applications engineer, provided support for the overall system design, helping to address the numerous challenges presented by the venue. Adamson Shooter predictive software provided an assist to his efforts.
