TURBOSOUND Boosts
'Gentse Feesten'
A

large TURBOSOUND
system with more
than 70 loudspeakers
recently
provided
coverage for two stages
of 'The Gentse Feesten',
one of Europe's biggest
cultural festivals held
annually
in
Ghent,
Belgium.
Splendit, the largest
TURBOSOUND
rental
company in the Benelux
was commissioned to
ensure consistent and
controlled coverage of sound, on and
off the site.
Noise control is a critical factor for
the city's 10-day long festival which
takes place in and around Ghent's
residential areas. Marijn Broeckaert of
Splendit said: "The TURBOSOUND Flex

TURBOSOUND at 'Gentse Feesten'

Array was chosen especially for its 75
degrees dispersion. It is able to deliver
such clear, directed sound to festivalgoers without impacting areas outside
the immediate festival."
The dispersion, sound quality and

MSE's Specialty
Support for VR
M

atthews Studio Equipment has
created the VRig, hailed as the
first professional grade camera support
systems that is specifically designed for
VR capture.
"By their very nature, spherical
cameras see everything and are often
left unattended amidst the action,"
says Tyler Phillips, Vice President
Marketing and Product Development
for Matthews Studio Equipment. "They
require a strong support system that is
unobtrusive to the camera view, and

can be easily painted out in
post."
The VRig's ultra-small
footprint
minimises
nadir hole and shadow
obstruction, yet, like all
MSE equipment, will
maintain rock solid
stability
assisted
by its low centre
of gravity barbell
weight retainer that
works with standard or

power out of a box with
this small footprint were
the main reasons Dirk
Brysbaert, Sound Manager
for
the
Sint-Jacobs
stage, choose for the
TURBOSOUND Flex Array.
The largest of the
festival's
stages,
the
Bij St-Jacobs, consisted
of two hangs of nine
TFA600H
and
two
TFA600HW cabinets a
side, with 12 TSW218 subs
in the centrally groundstacked at the front of the stage in a
cardioid array.
Two hangs of three TFA600HW were
then used for delays and monitors
were covered by 16 TMW115 and a
TFA600L drumfill sub. MIDAS' XL4 was
used at FOH.

Olympic style weights.
There is also an optional suction
Pump Cup for non-porous surfaces
and an Auger Spike for exterior
locations to further enhance stability.
"With discretion in mind, we
designed the VRig with a slim vertical
riser and equipped it with a Black
Elastic Leg Skirt, allowing camera
accessories to be concealed from
view," adds Phillips.
Integrated tapped female mounts for
lighting fixtures and microphones are
also included to help address the
rigging challenges of a spherical
environment while still remaining
inconspicuous.
