livenews Yamaha Scalaria highflyer


AUSTRIA By Erica Basnicki


THE SCALARIA Air Challenge takes place every July on Austria’s Lake Wolfgang.


Seaplanes and stunt flying are complemented by aircraft ‘dancing’ to live opera, live bands, fashion shows, DJs and more. This year, for the first


time, a Yamaha CL5 was chosen as the master console. “I always use Yamaha mixing consoles for major events, but this year the channel count


was so high it was a great opportunity to use the CL5 for the first time,” said Thomas Szvetecz, freelance sound engineer and head of the Scalaria sound department for the past four years. In addition to the CL5,


which included a MY16-ES64 and two MY16-EX interfaces, an Ethersound-based sub-mixing system was deployed comprising a Yamaha LS9 and three DM1000ES consoles, plus three SM168-ES i/o units.


“We understand the many benefits of

Franz Weilguni All equipment was supplied


by Ebensee-based Blendwerk Beleuchtungs. “We understand the many benefits of Dante, of course, but we wanted to use the CL5 with our existing Ethersound system. Using the Yamaha interface cards, it worked perfectly,” said Blendwerk’s Franz Weilguni. Dante did still play a role at Scalaria, via the Shure ULX-D wireless systems which were used for all radio microphones, as well as monitoring and talkback for all the aircraft which participated in the Flying Opera. “I really love the interoperability of the Shure ULX-D with the CL series consoles. It’s reassuring to know that the major components of your system, which you really have to rely on, are speaking the same language,” said Szvetecz. n www.yamahaproaudio.com
