UNITED ARAB EMIRATES CELEBRATES 40TH NATIONAL DAY WITH ELECTRO-VOICE
UAE
Each year on December 1, the United Arab Emirates celebrate their independence. The celebrations were especially lavish in 2011, as December 2nd marked the formal 40th anniversary of the coming together of the seven emirates to form the UAE. A comprehensive program of cultural and sporting events kicked off on December 1st to make this a true jubilee event. The organizers entrusted responsibility for

Centre in the nation’s capital drew over 10,000 visitors. The main PA comprised 12 Electro- Voice X-Line line array elements and six Xsubs, whilst 14 XLD281 very compact line array elements served as side and front fills and 16 Xw12 monitors (along with Plasma P1 and Plasma P2 drum fills) rounded off the sonic image. The power was provided by 24 TG7 and TG5 amplifiers. The integrated RCM-26 modules afforded the Sound On Stage Events team the luxury of remote control and supervision. “We wanted to make sure that all those
who attended would retain positive memories of this event,” says Mazen Saad, co-owner and Managing Director of Sound On Stage Events. “The competition in the market is stiff, which is why, whatever the production, we do our utmost to deliver the finest sound quality possible.” Sound On Stage Events has already had outstanding experiences with X-Line, and that’s why it was the first choice for this prestigious event, as Rawad Saad, technical manager, co-owner and Sound Engineer for this production explains: “Our calculations showed that the X-Line was ideally suited to the demands of this event. Unlike rival systems,

it offered optimal coverage and plenty of headroom - and even required fewer boxes!” In Al Ain, the second largest city in the
emirate of Abu Dhabi, the celebrations were scarcely less lavish, and once again it was Sound On Stage Events using Electro-Voice equipment that set the tone. The audience of 3,000 in front of the open-air stage in the Al Ain Heritage Village, for example, was served by a main PA comprising 16 Electro-Voice XLD 281 line array elements and four Xsubs, complimented by four Rx 112/75 (front fill), 12 RX 115/75 (monitors and side fills), and TG and P3000 amplifiers. “The XLD system combined with the TG
amps delivered a level of performance at the open-air stage in Al Ain that was more than remarkable,” reports Rawad Saad, “whilst the director of the Abu Dhabi Culture and Heritage Committee, our client in the nation’s capital, told us that of all the stages in Abu Dhabi, ours had the best sound - something of which we are rather proud and that allows us to approach future events with even greater confidence and motivation.
