Formule Teck, one of Martinique’s largest rental companies, has taken delivery of 14 APG DX15 monitor speakers.

Les Boucans de la BaieA long-standing APG customer, the purchase add to the company’s already extensive APG inventory. The first outing for the new equipment was the prestigious and now traditional event organised each year by the Tourist Office of the Martiniquan capital Fort de France, called Les Boucans de la Baie. Formule Teck handled all the audio requirements for concert in the evening which included a full APG PA and monitor system.

Les Boucans de la Baie is an enormous celebration that involves the whole town and culminates in a spectacular fireworks display over the bay and a huge concert held at La Savane, a beautiful 12-acre park that borders Fort St-Louis overlooking the bay. The concert was given by Mahogany, a well-known Martiniquan orchestra of 18 musicians including six violins and a brass section of six musicians led by Manuel Cesaire, noted pianist and arranger. The repertoire was an eclectic mix of mazurka, beguine and quadrille with strong jazz and classical influences.

For the sound reinforcement requirements, Formule Teck supplied an APG Matrix Array PA system comprising two APG4000 systems and one APG6000 system per side housed in PA towers and supplemented by eight TB218 subs across the front of the stage and two DS15s as front fill. The new DX15s joined four DS15s for the stage monitoring system.

‘We achieved excellent coverage across what is a large outdoor space,’ says Formule Teck’s Daniel Noreskal. ‘I’m used to working with my Matrix Array systems and I know that they are perfect for this type of event. I was also pleased with the new DX15 monitors. They are extremely lightweight and easy to handle with amazing gain before feedback. Furthermore, the two angles give us a lot of flexibility with the musicians, some of whom are seated, some standing. My trusty DS15s have served (and continue to serve) me well over the years, but I have to admit that the new DX Series are in a different league. Needless to say, all the musicians were all delighted with the performance of the DX15s, and that makes me a happy man.’
