ARRAY SYSTEM POWERED BY JBL
DRIVEPACK® TECHNOLOGY

| NORTHRIDGE, CALIFORNIA, July 27, 2006 -- Corporacion
Dynaco C.A., one of Venezuela's
premier rental sound
companies, served a 55,000-person audience on July 5 as
the Latin American
nation celebrated its Independence Day.
Commemorating the country's liberation from Spain in 1881
under the leadership of famous native son SimŪn BolĢvar, major
public events in Caracas included a
military parade and the
unveiling of Venezuela's new coat of arms, with the presidents
of Argentina,
Bolivia and Paraguay in attendance to show support
for Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez. The
seven-mile parade
route in the nation's capitol city represented a significant sound
reinforcement challenge to Dynaco, which the company met
by deploying a system based on powered JBL VERTEC® DP
Series line array elements for key audience listening zones.

"We selected JBL's powered VT4888DP line array systems for
this event for many reasons," explained Guillermo Sanchez,
Corporacion Dynaco's manager and chief engineer. "For this
important production we designed a huge distributed system
to serve the long parade route, which had audience listening
areas 300 meters (1000 feet) deep, or more. The VERTEC DP
system with its self-powered enclosures made the setup
incredibly easy, compared to what we have experienced in the
past in the same situation. Also, they are extremely powerful
despite their relatively small size and weight. That makes them
a natural for use at this type of event."
The Venezuela Independence Day event program featured a
150-person orchestra, 200-person chorus and martial band.
A total of 38 sound towers were positioned, with 12 speaker
positions nearest to the presidential review area each supporting
an array of three VT4888DPAN powered line array elements.
JBL VT4888 midsize and VT4887 compact line arrays systems were also incorporated into the sound system design. In all,
72 JBL VERTEC units with additional supporting loudspeakers
were used.

"We've now had nine months of experience with the VERTEC
DP system at special events and concerts
of all types," observed
Sanchez. "The system has not ceased to amaze us. It's an
understatement to say
that JBL's VERTEC DP system exceeds
our expectations for coverage, output power and fidelity."
Additional supporting JBL loudspeakers were powered with
Crown I-Tech 4000 and MA-5000VZ
amplifiers. Signal processing
included BSS FDS 366T and 334T system controllers. BSS 966
and dbx
1066 and 1074 units were in line for equalization and
limiting. Soundcraft MH3-48 and MH2-40
consoles were provided
for front-of-house and stage monitor mixing facilities, with JBL
SRX712M
stage monitors available in the performance area.
