Delta supports RedBull Air Race
Published: MEA
UAE: Delta Sound supplied audio equipment to cover the recent RedBull Air Race in Abu Dhabi. The event was the first race of the season, and the rental house was contracted by Blink Experience to supply and operate an audio package for public address to the spectator areas.
The PA distribution encompassed the Race Club and Sky Lounge next to the Abu Dhabi Heritage Village, public areas on the Corniche, the road side in front of the Emirates Palace and the corner plaza at Marina Mall. The public areas and the Race Club were covered by L-Acoustics V-Dosc, Kudo and K2 systems. Whilst the VIP venue Sky Lounge were supplied with a distributed system of L-Acoustics MTD108s and 5XTs.
‘We installed an impressive amount of fibre and analogue signal cable to distribute audio to all the relevant areas of coverage; all routed back to one central control point where we picked up the feeds from broadcast,’ said Delta senior engineer, Craig Harvey who led the project team. ‘It can be quite a task to get it all right but with a bit of good planning and plenty of support from both the local and international production teams, the event was made much easier. With the wireless infrastructure we installed we had access to all the elements of the PA and could get control wherever and whenever we needed.’
