Space Lights and Master Voice installed a system consisting of 12 CDR 108 mid/high units with eight CDR 210 subwoofers and four IL8.1 very compact vocal full-range cabinets for front-fill. Six CDR 108 cabinets were rigged at each side of the stage at a height of 6m, with the IL 8.1s positioned so they provide coverage for the front tables. The system is powered by one VX 1200 and nine VX 2400 power amplifiers, and is controlled by five DFCs (Digital Field Controllers).
Space Lights also supplied four LR 115 M and four LR 112 M monitors from HK Audio's Linear 3 Classic Series, together with four IL 12.2 full-range cabinets, for stage monitoring. All system set-up, adjustment and simulation was carried out by freelance EASE engineer Matthias Domke.
Master Voice worked closely with the Maya Club's owner, Theodore Varelas, to fulfil his requirement for a system which wasn't large in size but could deliver a lot of power. So successful was the proposal that Space Lights was awarded the contract without either Master Voice or the club owner having heard it - a great show of faith, especially given that it was the first installed system in the world. Factors in Varelas' decision included a very quick delivery time, strong technical backup, and value for money, say the company.
