the Johnny Cash Experience Band live in German jail
Germany - Last month, the Johnny Cash Experience Band played a concert in the prison of Duisburg.

The set list corresponded to the original of Johnny Cash when he gave his most legendary concert in 1968 in the Folsom State Prison, California. For Rogge & Derks, supplier of event technologies, the installation works were an interesting experience. It was also an opportunity to deploy the new loudspeaker systems GRAVIS 12 and NOMOS LS from Kling & Freitag.

Top and bass were operated passively by means of the K&F SystemRack on only one channel. Thus, the PA system used only two of the four channels of a SystemRack. The two remaining channels permitted to operate one SCENA 15 monitor each for the musicians.

"The whole setup was operated on only one three-pin power socket, extremely simple and with excellent performance", said Oliver Derks from Rogge & Derks.

Both the band and the management of the prison were highly satisfied with the results. The inmates, warmed up only after a couple of songs.
