MIDAS CONSOLES HOLLAND HOLDS KLARK TEKNIK SHOW COMMAND WORKSHOP
Hot on the heels of its successful XL8 seminars, Midas Consoles Holland has continued in an educational role by organising a Klark Teknik Show Command workshop for a selected group of rental companies.
The workshop was held at the 8,500 capacity Brabant Hallen, Den Bosch, during production rehearsals for Jan Smit, who is currently touring Holland.
The Jan Smit setup features a Midas Heritage 2000 at front of house and a Heritage 3000 on monitors. The workshop demonstrated the DN9331 Rapide which gives direct access to all graphic equalisation functions of KT’s Helix digital equalisers, providing instant recall of fader positions by the use of 31 console-quality 100 mm long motorised faders. The Rapide provided fader control for two DN9344E quad Helix EQs and one DN9340E Helix dual-channel master for dynamics control, working via the Solo Tracking System (STS) with the Heritage 3000, a function which allows the solo’d outputs from the console to be shown on the Helix master unit, or as an option on a wireless tablet PC.
The whole system was run with several KT DN9848E system controllers using Midas and Klark Teknik’s Elgar software via wireless LAN and operated via a tablet pc.
The workshop was such a success that three leading Dutch rental companies -
Smashsound Kampen, Cazemier LGB and Triple Show all ordered Show Command systems immediately after they had completed the event.
