LightViper Handles FOH Audio
for Primerica's Atlanta 2007 Convention
FiberPlex has announced that its LightViper audio
transport system was recently deployed for the live stage production of
Primerica's 2007 Convention in Atlanta. The corporate event drew 60,000
participants and was held Aug. 3 and 4 in Atlanta's largest venue, the
Georgia Dome, home to the NFL's Atlanta Falcons. The plug-and-play
LightViper fiber-optic audio system was deployed by Syntonic Design Group,
a Milan, N.Y.-based production equipment and services company that
provides audio and communications systems to corporate clients. Tom
Clark, Syntonic's managing director and project manager for the
Primerica show, says, "We used the LightViper for the first time. I
wanted to specifically replace the unwieldy copper snakes we usually
take to big shows like this one. Not only did the system save us
significant labor costs, setup time, and shipping expense—it
performed perfectly. It really is a plug-and-play copper snake
replacement solution. For the Primerica show we used it as a drive snake
to handle the audio outputs from the FOH mixing console to the amp
stacks located behind the large stage. more>>
