Providing greater Australia with world-class, full-service event production, Dreamweavers has put its 150 years’ combined experience behind 4,000 events over the past 15 years. Clair Brothers is now an integral part of the Dreamweavers arsenal.
‘We were invited by Wayne Grosser, Clair Brothers’ rep here in Australia, to take a listen to a full range of Clair Brothers systems,’ explains Dreamweavers GM, Sam Pomana. ‘Wayne is familiar with our mission to stay on the cutting edge of event production innovation. He knows we have to – the nature of our creativity depends on it.’
‘Wayne took the opportunity to demo several Clair Brothers systems for us as points of reference,’ says Kyle Hodges, Dreamweavers audio engineer and producer. ‘They all sounded incredible, as expected, but the kiTCurve boxes were phenomenal and really stood out.’
‘The kiTCurve’s size and weight were an unexpected bonus in addition to the incredible sound,’ Pomana continues. ‘Many of the events we produce are held in hotel ballrooms where rigging is limited. So, our ability to rig this system in tight spaces with minimal weight loading is huge. Another bonus is that our truck space and crew requirements are cut in half. That’s cost savings we pass along to our clients.’
A recent event produced by Dreamweavers was a cirque-themed cocktail event on Australia’s Gold Coast. The full ballroom event included performances by two bands and three acrobatic troupes.
‘The system we used for this show comprised four kiTCurves with four kiT-Sub-minis. It did the job beautifully and the sound was enormous,’ Hodges reports.
Dreamweavers runs a Yamaha CL5 console and Dante network including the Lake LM44 processor and the kiTCurve system. With one Cst5e cable from the CL5, the team has access to 32-channel Rio rack, eight channels of Shure digital wireless mics and four channels in/out of the Lake LM44 that converts the digital network signal to analogue, which is then sent to the kiTCurve system.
‘The kiTCurve system has been nothing but amazing and reassuring,’ Hodges says. ‘It’s an incredible product that surprises us every time we turn it on. And when you consider the years our team has been doing event production, that’s really saying something.’
