ArrayProcessing surprises with its performance in Saitama Super Arena in Japan

On the occasion of the farewell of Reon Yuzuki, one of the most admired artists of this Japanese musical theater, Those responsible for the concert decided to use this new professional audio system developed by D&b in front of thousands of people who attended the concert at the Saitama Super Arena pavilion.

The rental company Arxiduc Audio, headquartered in the Japanese city of Yokohama, obtained the contract to perform Reon Yuzuki's farewell concert, one of the most admired stars of this country's Takarazuka Revue female musical theater troupe, who decided to install ArrayProcessing immediately after it was presented and without prior technical training.

As Yutaka Nakamura points out, head of the sound department at Arxiduc, "We are well aware of the quality of D&B, so we decided to use ArrayProcessing without any worries. It was no small assignment: thousands of fans were expected to attend the Saitama Super Arena and a potential audience of millions for the live broadcast.".

In this line, the CEO of Arxiduc, Hirohide Kobayashi, Remember your trust in this manufacturer: "I started my career as a monitor technician and, from the moment I bought my first D M4 wedges&b and I realized that I no longer had to waste thirty minutes equalizing them every day, I've been a loyal user of the brand. We now have V and E Series products, as well as monitors, but for Yuzuki's concert we needed a lot more equipment.".

To do this, this director had the collaboration of the company Junta Yamazaki, D Partner&b in this country, in addition to creating a consortium of suppliers of this brand, among which were Links, headquartered in Kyoto, and At Sound, Saitama Local Company.

The incorporation of ArrayProcessing in this concert "was not complicated. It's just an extra page to the ArrayCalc workflow," Kakamura explains. I filled the ten available ArrayProcessing memories with the results measured at different points in the pavilion, based on system performance without ArrayProcessing. We applied each memory in turn and compared them all to the performance of my installed design without ArrayProcessing, and I decided on -2dB at the first point and in the back area, with -4 dB with Full Glory Mode: It provides a better frequency response over a wider area".

The installation of this system also aroused the interest of those responsible for broadcasting the concert on television. Takeshi Suzuki, Technical Lead, Audio Visual Communications (Tokyo), "I was happy to agree that Arxiduc used our event for the first experience with ArrayProcessing. The results were excellent and we could see the positive benefits from the way the audience reacted to the broadcast, So for us it was doubly effective. The live stream of the event was distributed through Live Viewing Japan and they were also very satisfied.".

ArrayProcessing" sounded natural, Not just at the table, but also here, There and everywhere. It has shown that there is another dimension to system performance, and that sounds great from the front row to the seats at the back. Treat the entire arrangement as a complete system, instead of applying different filter levels and settings to individual boxes, That's why it's so effective.".
