Staged at Lagos’ Tafawa-Balewa Square, The Experience is widely regarded as the world’s largest Gospel concert. Organised by The House on the Rock Church, the event saw Cytech World Communication provide an Outline sound system for Subfrantic Production Services production in front of a crowd of 700,000 people.
Having outperformed all the other systems used at previous editions, this was the fourth consecutive year that Outline’s GTO C-12s and Butterfly systems have served The Experience. The FOH audio set-up comprised 30 GTO C-12 line-source systems plus two underhung GTO-DF (down-fill) modules, while 16 DBS 18-2, eight Subtech 218 and four LAB 21 HS subwoofers ensured the low and infra-low frequencies power and precision.
Eighteen further GTO C-12 elements were used to provide the necessary coverage width for audience areas near the side of the stage, and 32 Butterfly systems were fielded as delay units. Eight DVS 12 enclosures filled in the close field, and two Doppias combined with four Subtech 218 handled side fill. The system was powered by Outline T-Series amplifiers.
With limited time at the venue, the audio team used Outline’s Openarray-3D acoustical prediction software to guide the installation of the sound system, which had to cover the entire Tafawa-Balewa Square – 280mx200m – bounded by tiered seating 20m high and 30m deep, running its full length.
