SOUTH AFRICA: Honouring the luminaries of music, arts and literature from the Mpumalanga province, the Art of Legends event took place recently in Mbombela featuring a FBT Muse PA system supplied by StageOne to power audio. The celebration at the Emnotweni Arena was hosted by The Department of Arts and Culture with technical support by JVR Events for sound, stage, lighting and design.
Spearheading the JVR Events team was system engineers Sakkie Coetzer and Anthony Jenkinson alongside audio engineer, Steven Capuli. Coetzer said that the choice of FBT equipment was strategic. “After listening to several brands, I heard FBT and I just knew that that’s my PA,” he remarked. “Both bands and customers who use our gear always praise the PA’s sound quality.”
The team elected to implement a main PA system of six FBT Muse 210 Line Array Speakers and four 18-inch FBT Muse 218SA Subwoofers, ground-stacked with three speakers on each side to provide optimal sound delivery. For stability and vibration control, rubber mats were used to secure the speakers on top of the subs, with Coetzer noting that “the results were amazing.” Additionally, to ensure the performers could hear themselves clearly, FBT Vertus 12-inch monitors were utilised for onstage monitoring for the main band.
