In
March, NEXO will partner with PRG Europe to provide the PA and monitoring
systems in a state-of-the-art production package for the LEA Awards, one of
Germany’s premier entertainment awards programmes. Visitors to the Festhalle over the duration of
the Prolight+Sound expo (12-15 March) will have the opportunity to hear NEXO
and Yamaha in concert; a 24-set STM
Series modular line array at front-of-house and a 45°N-12 line monitor system
on stage, networked over Dante with a full complement of Yamaha CL Series
consoles.
Sponsored
by PRG, the Live Entertainment Awards (PRG LEA) reward outstanding achievement
in the entertainment industry in German-speaking countries. This year, some 1,300 guests, including many
prominent celebrities, will gather in the Festhalle in Frankfurt to enjoy live
performances and applaud the winners of the LEA trophies. The gala event also marks the beginning of
the music trade and technology show, Prolight+Sound.
In
2013, NEXO provided the PRG LEA Awards with a 45°N-12 stage monitor
system. This year, the relationship with
PRG has expanded to include the supply of the main house PA – providing a
unique opportunity to showcase NEXO’s new flagship system, the STM modular line
array.
“PRG’s
awesome production facilities, a package worth over €1/2 million on the open
rental market, provide an extraordinary and impressive backdrop to 3 days of ‘soft’
demonstration of the STM,” says NEXO Marketing Director Ginny Goudy. “Thousands of people will visit the
Festhalle, and it’s a great opportunity for NEXO to show them what we can
do. It is also a special chance to team
up with our parent company Yamaha to present publicly the true symbiosis
between our respective technologies, in a fully networked new-generation
concert sound system.”
Entry
to the Festhalle is free during PL+S show hours 09.00-18.00, although there may
be queues for the popular backstage tours.
NB:
The Festhalle is also known as Hall 2.
