Grammy nominee Sa DingDing has performed two concerts at the Hong Kong Star Hall for the 38th HK Arts Festival.
Singing in Tibetan, Sanskrit and Mandarin, she mixes traditional Chinese melodies and Buddhist prayers with electronic instruments. Shalom AV Technology provided a Meyer Sound Milo line array loudspeaker system for the event. ‘It not only provides the power we needed for the size of venue but also gives us the dynamics,’ said Shalom concert engineer Roland Chan.
Sixteen Milo and four Milo 120 loudspeakers, along with by four 700-HP and four 650-P subwoofers were needed for the 3,600 spectators in the four-level Star Hall. Additionally, four UPA-1P loudspeakers provided front fill. A Galileo loudspeaker management system provided signal processing and an RMS remote monitoring system offered extensive real-time status and system performance data. MAPP Online Pro acoustical prediction program was used for system design. ‘System setup is simplified with the use of MAPP. The prediction of sound level and coverage area is accurate. We save a lot of time in system tuning because the sound quality is already optimised for singing performances. Meyer Sound products make our life as concert sound engineers much easier,’ said Chan.
An Avid Venue console was also used, supplied by Miso Technology, who provided the musical instruments. ‘We are all satisfied with the whole system, which helped us deliver a great live performance of Sa DingDing,’ said So Wang Ip, Miso’s sales and marketing manager.
