LaON’s awards performance enables Festival of Lights comms
Published: ASIA

KOREA: LaON’s LT750 Expert wireless intercom system has recently been put to use by lighting production company, Festival of Lights, during a pair of high-profile Korean awards ceremonies. The system, supplied by the manufacturer’s distributor, Flying Scott, provided communication between Festival of Lights crew members working at the 2016 Melon Music Awards and the 31st Golden Disc Awards.
The Golden Disc Awards were staged over two days in Seoul at Kintex Hall 7. Although the venue’s dimensions are 126m x 90m, a single BS750 Base Station delivered sufficient coverage throughout, without the need for a repeater.
The Melon Music Awards, on the other hand, took place at the Gocheok Sky Dome, which is primarily used for baseball, serving as the home ballpark for the Nexen Heroes. During baseball matches, the venue seats up to 17,000 fans, but when in used as a large concert venue, its capacity reaches more than 20,000. It is much larger than Kintex Hall 7 and presents plenty of competition between several communications systems competing for the limited available RF. To ensure communication across the whole site, Festival of Lights employed an RBS25 repeater unit to boost the signal while the BS750’s signal was switched off.
