The world premiere of a new production of the truck-busting, ear-crunching Monster Jam spectacle saw the world’s biggest monster trucks, daredevil demo riders, and FMX-ers from Team Marvel and Team Destruction engaged in the largest ever extreme sports battle Arnhem’s Gelredome.
For the 2011 event, almost 70 Powersoft Duecanali amplifiers were installed in the Gelredome arena by TM Audio. Olaf Landzaat created the system design and headed the installation team. In collaboration with Italian engineers at Powersoft, a custom-made Media Matrix plug-in was written, enabling the amps to be integrated into the system seamlessly.
For 2012, the house system at the Gelredome (also installed by TM Audio several years ago) has been expanded to include eight Martin Audio WSX318 subs, a DDA CS8 front of house mixer, Shure wireless systems and an ASL intercom system.
Ampco Flashlight also provided spectacular lighting, using six High End Showguns, 24 Clay Paky Sharpy luminaires, 24 Chromlech Jarag-5 halogen matrix units, 24 Showtec Sunstrip Active DMX stage blinders, four Archleds and four Strong Super Troupers.
The Ampco Flashlight crew comprised Jerry Zandwijk, Christiaan Schutte, Michel Bakker, Niels Bouwma, Jeroen Schmitz, Bart Luijk, Harry van der Hoof, Jurrien Hildebrand, and Bas Nacca and Nick de Weers.
