Tour Sound application example
Fitting all components into flight cases as well as the shortest possible setup time are essential for festivals with several acts performing in succession. While one performer is on stage, backstage preparations for the following act must be completed so that it can be started without any drawn-out interruptions due to alterations or soundchecks. Wireless systems in particular require meticulous RF and audio performance tests to be carried out before they are connected to the FOH mixer. The advanced software of the SR 4000 receiver makes all this easy. Rehearsal Mode, Auto Setup, and Frequency Scan are just a few of the features that help set up all the RF connections quickly and efficiently. However, the ultimate quality of the audio signal delivered by the receiver can only be tested by connecting the receiver to the mixer, which is practically impossible once the show has started. Two HPA 4000 headphone amplifiers, each connected to eight receivers, eliminate this problem, enabling you to check audio signal quality quickly and reliably without an additional mixer. In the example shown above, a complete 10-channel wireless system including antenna splitters, power supply unit, and headphone amplifiers can be fitted into a compact 8-space-rack. You can also fit two small flight cases with five chargers each for the transmitters, so that all transmitters can be charged completely and simultaneously within just one hour. And, the complete tour sound package takes up so little space it can be transported in a standard station wagon – the ideal solution for any band on tour. Another excellent choice for smaller touring sound systems is the WMS 450, which is compatible with many of the system expansion components of the WMS 4000 for cost-effective, yet state-of-the-art performance. For example, a complete 4-channel system including a PSU 4000 power supply unit and PS 4000 antenna multi-coupler with two front-mounted antennas will fit into a 3-space rack! All that’s necessary to hook it up is to connect a single power cable and the audio lines. All other components, such as the transmitter, can be stored in a 2-space-drawer.
