Co-headliners Three Days Grace (“3DG”) and Breaking Benjamin are back on tour, with Chris Zakoor as FOH engineer for 3DG. Said Zakoor, the tour wouldn’t feel right if he weren’t mixing in front of a Meyer Sound MILO line arrays.
“There’s been nothing but positive vibes using Meyer since we started back in 2007,” Zakoor says. “Both MILO and MICA are powerful, great-sounding rock boxes with lots of headroom for vocals—and plenty of edge if you want it.”
The system for the tour is being supplied by Rainbow Production Services of Atkinson, N.H., centered around main hangs of 14 MILO and two MILO 120 line array loudspeakers per side, with visceral low frequency support from 22 Meyer 700-HP subwoofers, and an integral Meyer Galileo loudspeaker management system.
Zakoor is appreciative of both the quality of the equipment and the skills of the Rainbow technical crew. “I’ve been lucky to have experienced designers and systems engineers who can set up the Meyer rig the way it needs to be for 3DG. After three years, I really can’t see using anything else with the band.”
Michael Martell, Rainbow’s president and CEO praises the support provided by his firm. “With Meyer Sound we bought what we believe is the best product,” states Martell. “But service backup is equally important. With Meyer factory support, we always know someone will answer the call when we need assistance.”
