Among its audio attractions, the coming ProLight & Sound show in Frankfurt will feature its own Glastonbury Festival trubute in the shape of a 12,500-brick Lego model of the Pyramid Stage complete with Martin Audio MLA PA system.

Built by Bright Bricks and taking more than 120 man-hours to complete, the model measures 1.2m x 1.2m and includes full replica MLA hangs and MLX subwoofers at the stage whilst a flag-waving crowd listen on. There is even a queue for the toilets...

The exhibit was commissioned by Martin Audio Director of Marketing, James King: ‘We wanted to celebrate our involvement in arguably the most prestigious festival in the world and the record breaking success of MLA last year,’ he says. ‘We thought as a bit of theatre for this year’s ProLight & Sound it would garner lots of attention. It’s one of the projects that you get a real kick out of – Lego, loudspeakers, Glastonbury… what more is there to life?’

Courtesy of RG Jones Sound Engineering, Martin Audio has been the main PA of the Pyramid stage since 2007, and in 2014 its MLA system broke records with the loudest recorded sound levels at FOH while maintaining the strict off site noise pollution levels.

‘We’ve had many people asking whether we will mass produce these, but this will definitely be a one-off,’ King says. ‘We have, however, produced 500 Limited Edition Lego Certified Professional MLA Mini models that are sure to be seen on many of our partners’ desks in the coming weeks.’

Standing at nearly 12cm tall, the MLA Mini model is gift boxed with instructions on how to build it, and comes with decorating stickers. ‘It doesn’t make any sound, but it’s sure to create quite a stir,’ King promises.
