Eclipse covers Gareth Emery and Sander Van Doorn

UAE: Eclipse Staging Services provided the staging, audio and lighting for Flash Entertainment’s recent Gareth Emery and Sander Van Doorn performance at The Allure club by Cipriani on Abu Dhabi’s Yas Island.
For the show Eclipse put to use eight L-Acoustic V-Dosc cabinets with low end courtesy of four Funktion One double 18-inch subs for the main PA. A pair of L-Acoustics 112p cabinets were used as DJ monitors while the front of house console of choice was a Yamaha LS9. According to Eclipse general manager Darren Hodge the equipment was selected because ‘it is a compact system which has very good clarity and presence’.
For DJ equipment, Eclipse supplied six Pioneer CDJ 2000 digital DJ decks as well as a DJM 2000 and a DJM 900 mixer.
‘There were no real challenges with the job, the technical manager at the venue was very helpful and we had enough time to do the install,’ said a clearly very satisfied Mr Hodge. ‘It was unusually easy to integrate with the house system mainly due to the in house team.
‘If there was any challenge it was simply that the lift was not quite big enough to get the kit to the third floor so some of the staging elements had to be carried up the stairs.’
