WorldMUN gets social with Mackie HDA
Published: ASIA
SINGAPORE: At this year's WorldMUN conference, Singapore-based Mastana Entertainment provided high-end audio and video systems for social events at the week-long gathering. This included a substantial Mackie HDA-based sound system for the WorldMUN 2011 Ice Breaker party at the Greek Theatre, located at the foot of the iconic Singapore Flyer.
The system was centred around Mackie HDA two-way 12-inch powered line array cabinets, along with HD1521 15-inch two-way powered loudspeakers. The system was augmented by 18 SRM450 two-way powered loudspeakers, with low frequency reinforcement handled by Mackie's HD1801 powered subwoofers. Pioneer and Denon DJ gear and an Allen and Heath console completed the system.
Surinder Mastana, the company's chief engineer and event consultant, explained how the Mackie gear has been a big part of the company's growing profile, describing its involvement with WorldMUN as ‘the realisation of a dream’. Continuing, Mr Mastana said: ‘Having great quality equipment is a big part of our success. The Mackie HDAs are truly one of the best sounding powered array speakers available. They are so fast and easy to deploy, and are hassle free. They sound incredible, and we can't wait to get more of them’, he enthused.
In 1991, a group of Harvard University students joined together to create a new and different Model United Nations experience, inviting 300 college and graduate students to join together and participate in conferences and debate on pressing international issues. Two decades later, the annual WorldMUN conference has grown, with more than 2,200 college and graduate students from more than 65 nations attending the 2011 conference in Singapore.
