For the fourth year running, Cytech World Communication provided Outline loudspeakers for The Experience, with production and control services supplied by Subfrantic Production Services.
The event, held in Lagos’ Tafawa-Balewa Square and organized by The House on the Rock Church, attracted a crowd of 700,000.
The last edition featured an array of music ministers including Don Moen, Donnie McClurkin, Frank Edwards, Smokie Norful, Travis Greene, Chioma Jesus, Tope Alabi, and the Lagos Metropolitan Gospel Choir of House on The Rock among others.
The Experience’s front of house audio set-up comprised 30 GTO C-12 line-source systems plus two underhung GTO-DF (down-fill) modules, with 16 DBS 18-2, eight Subtech 218 and four LAB 21 HS subwoofers.
Eighteen more GTO C-12 elements were selected to provide the necessary coverage width for audience areas near the side of the stage, and 32 Butterfly arrays were fielded as delay units. Eight DVS 12 enclosures filled in the nearfield, and two Doppias combined with four Subtech 218 handled sidefill. The whole system was powered by Outline T-Series amplifiers.
With a limited time frame at its disposal at the venue, the audio team used Outline’s Openarray-3D acoustical prediction software to guide the installation of the sound system, which had the task of covering the entire Tafawa-Balewa Square – 280×200 meters – bounded by tiered seating 20 meters high and 30 deep running its full length.
