FRANCE Indochine tour with Adamson By Murray Stassen
FRENCH NEW wave rock band Indochine is using Adamson Systems Engineering sound reinforcement on its Black City Tour of France, Belgium and Switzerland, with a final performance planned for the Stade de France in June. The band’s sound engineer Phillipe Dubich specified the
Adamson Energía system, and engineer Julien Poirot designed the installation layout, with assistance from Wilfried Lasbleiz. Dubich and Lasbleiz have
flown 12 E15 enclosures for the main PA. For outfill, left and right arrays consisting of nine E12 enclosures were flown. In addition to the E15 and E12 units, 20 T21 subwoofers have
been installed in two columns of ten units each for adequate low frequency delivery. The second part of the venue
is blanketed by two more E12 arrays, made up of six enclosures each. Two more downfill arrays of four E12s each were installed in the scenic grill. Poirot explains: “The E15 is a system that combines powerful dynamics, clarity and
precision. I love this system; it would be ideal for many different projects. Indo on the E15/T21/E12 combination works well and gives us an impressive sound homogeneity throughout the venues. The result is top-notch.”
Indochine front man Nicolas Sirkis sings his heart out with sound reinforcement provided by Adamson Systems
re-shore this popular and cost- effective PA series for a variety of reasons. It keeps our North American facility busy, it provides us with an improved time-to-market factor, and gives us more control over quality and performance.”
“The YX series is still a
Jeff Shorthouse, Yorkville product development, with PS15P and PS12P portable speakers
budget oriented series, but the sound and build quality we can provide is extraordinary,” adds Cowling. Yorkville made the
announcement just after the
NAMM show in January, where the company presented additions to its ParaSource Active loudspeaker range. Jeff Shorthouse, Yorkville has also confirmed its plans to seek out and engage with more distribution partners in Europe and beyond in 2014. The company celebrated its 50th anniversary last year and currently employs over 250 staff at its HQ in a suburb of Toronto.
