Alpenfestival with Galo
At the Alpenfestival the guests could experience very different event formats. There were cinema broadcasts, rock & pop concerts as well as the popular "Alpencomedy". There were very differnet demands for the audio system. The basic setup, which was used for the "Alpencomedy" and the cinema broadcast, consisted of the PANO hybrid system QF 5045 V2 and the subwoofers QLB 215, and for monitoring MCX 10. All sound zones were networked via a Dante Audiomatrix and the K.M.E. system amplifiers DA 428 & DA 230 were controlled remotly.
The following zones were set up:
- Restaurant PA (4x VLX 8, 1x VB 15 at 1x DA 428)
- Main PA (2x QH 5045 V2, 2x GB 218 at 2x DA 230)
- Delay/tent sound (4x VLX 8 at 1x DA 428)
The audio matrix was a TF rack networked via the AGORA Ghost G2 network switches. As a concert system for the Metal Night with Eluveite and the hit parade with Beatrice Egli the GALO Line Array with 8x G10 elements each with 12x GB 218 subwoofers was used.
The project was realized by crealine audio systems. www.crealine.net

Alpenfestival with Galo Products used
High Power Subwoofer GB 218
Passive high power subwoofer equipped with two newly 18" long excursion neodymium speakers. The direct radiating design assures a extraordinary powerful and precise bass response at highest SPL down to the frequency limit of 25 Hz. Its bassreflex design has been optimized to minimize the flow noise. Due to the very low frequency tuning, the sound impression is voluminous but precise and responsive. The GB 218 is characterized by compact enclosure dimensions.
Hybrid Source Element QH 5045 V2
The single hybrid array unit QH 5045 V2 (newly developed high frequency unit) has a dispersion of 50° horizontal and 45° vertical. The hybrid array element is an absolute novelty in the combination of line source and point source technologies. The QH 5045 V2 contains four 1“ high frequency drivers which are coherently working on a waveguide guaranteeing a precise dispersion and seamless transition of the high frequencies between the array elements. The two hornloaded mid range systems are equipped with 10“ neodymium speakers. In this system the requirements for compact dimensions, highest SPL and defined dispersion of a line array are combined in a symbiosis. The QH 5045 V2 is optimized for clustering of maximum three units both in groundstacking and flying mode. Furthermore, thanks to the integrated flange, the operation on a high stand is possible.
Stage Monitor MCX 15
The MCX 15 is a coaxial high performance monitor with low profile casing design. The design enables two set up options – with a flat angle of 35° for a monitoring from near to short distances and a steep angle of 55° for longer distances. With its elegant look it harmoniously fits into all surroundings. Due to the solid construction and the high protective front grid the MCX 15 can deal perfectly with
the hard stage requirements. The dispersion of 60° vertical and 40° horizontal has been adapted to the monitor angle and can be rotated by 90°. Each, left and right side includes a connection panel with each two Neutrik NL 4 Speakon sockets for an efficient cabeling and linking of the stage signals. In multifunctionality the MCX 15 sets new standards with a highstand flange inside the handle and two KME Variofix mounting points where a flying frame can be installed quickly and easy without any tools. The MCX 15 can be combined with the subwoofers QLB 215 and QLB 118 X/G, e.g. as a drum fill or front system.
