伦敦碎片大厦Daft Punk部署QSC WideLine-8系统

英国伦敦，2013年7月 — 总部位于伦敦的专业音响制作公司 Podd Sound 选择了 QSC WideLine-8 线性阵列系统。在索尼音乐最近在欧洲举办的发布会上，专门举办了 Daft Punk 的新专集 Random Access Memories。这项时尚的发布会在伦敦最近落成的地标性建筑 - 残片摩天大楼 的69层举行，这也是欧盟最高的建筑。Cal文·海里斯 (Cal文) 和 Jude·洛 等明星嘉宾列表，这对于我们的创记录来说是一个再合适不过的发布会。

The WideLine-8 array used by Podd Sound at the Daft Punk launch comprised 16 QSC WL3082 line array elements and 12 WL212-sw subwoofers driven by no fewer than nine QSC PL380 amplifiers, and managed by two SC28 processor/system controllers. The system components were supplied to Podd Sound by Shure Distribution UK (SDUK), the distributor of QSC products in the UK and Ireland.

"The Shard was an impressive-looking venue, but of course the room chosen for the event was a strange shape, and all of the hard glass surfaces made rigging the PA a challenge," explains Mathew Podd, owner of Podd Sound. "I've been a fan of QSC loudspeakers for a few years and thought the wide dispersion of the WideLine system would help me achieve the coverage that was required. Shure Distribution UK was very helpful and the system worked really well. WideLine is so compact, it was ideal for use in the Shard, where we didn’t want the speakers spoiling the view, and it’s also good for loading in and out of venues. I handle a lot of London-based events and in this day and age, you want the gear to be as light to move as possible — you can’t really drive huge rigs around in the city in 7.5-ton trucks any more. The ratio of size to weight and power output is really impressive, too."

Random Access Memories is the fourth studio album by the French post-modern duo Daft Punk, cost over a million dollars to make in world-class studios such as Ocean Way in Los Angeles, and includes contributions from Giorgio Moroder and Chic guitarist/producer Nile Rodgers.
