MSI Japan Taiwan debuts MLA in Taipei
Published: ASIA
TAIWAN: MSI Japan Taiwan has used Martin Audio’s MLA system for the first time in Taipei. After opening an office in the capital several months ago, the company supported the Taiwanese leg of Japanese artist Masaharu Fukuyama’s We’re Bros Tour 2014. The show was held at the Taipei Arena.
The artist had previously used the MLA system for the Japanese leg of the tour and wanted to retain continuity for the Taiwanese show.
‘The difference between MLA and conventional systems,’ explained FOH engineer, Takashi ‘White’ Murata, ‘is that I can mix with detailed balance, even if the FOH position is 100m away from the stage.’
One member of the audience, seated in the top row of the venue, reportedly mentioned that she had never before experienced this quality of sound during a concert at this venue.
‘The Asian market is gradually waking up to this brand new MLA technology,’ concluded Shuzo Fujii, president of MSI Holdings. ‘I believe that the trend in touring loudspeaker technology worldwide will eventually move towards this kind of multi-cellular array principle.’
