NORTHRIDGE, CALIFORNIA, July 25, 2005 — In a live sound event that underscores the high fidelity and versatility of the JBL VERTEC? line array speakers, Concert Services of Pacoima, CA provided live sound for the Festival Bajo el Sol at the Los Angeles Coliseum on July 16, 2005. This Hispanic Christian music event featured an international group of inspirational artists, including Grammy Award winner Marcos Witt, Luis Palau and El Trio de Hoy.

Working in conjunction with Atlas Sound and Lighting of Huntington Beach, CA, the system included two main arrays featuring 14 VERTEC VT4889 full-size line array speakers, two supporting side arrays of 12 VT4889 speakers each, and six signal-delayed, rear-area arrays of six VT4889 speakers. According to Moises Tagle of Concert Services, the decision to use a total of 88 VERTEC VT4889 line array speakers was based on the product’s performance and flexibility. “We chose the VERTEC system because to date there is no other box that projects as well and is so true to its specifications like VERTEC,” Tagle said, who also worked with business partners Benny Colon and Danny Santana. “The speakers performed amazingly well —we walked around the Coliseum and the coverage and fidelity was very impressive.”

Tagle added that the VERTEC system provided outstanding coverage despite the Coliseum’s unique dimensions. “Our last seat at the top of the bowl was at a rather steep upwards tilt angle, but for the VERTEC arrays that was no problem because of the rigging system and deployment angles that the system is capable of.”

The VERTEC VT4889 was the first in a growing family of line array system products that now includes the VT4880, VT4881 and VT4882 subwoofers along with mid-and small sized line arrays. The enclosures can be mixed and matched to accommodate nearly any concert, special event or other sound reinforcement application.
