FARBER SOUND ADDS VALUE TO HIGH-ENERGY CONCERT WITH JBL PROFESSIONAL VERTEC® LINE ARRAYS

NORTHRIDGE, CALIFORNIA, August 14, 2007 — Demonstrating the global availability of JBL Professional VERTEC® line arrays, regional rental company Farber Sound, LLC of Medina, Minnesota provided the live audio system for the July 21st Family Values Tour concert in Somerset, Wisconsin. The event took place at the Float-Rite Park Amphitheater and featured performances by Korn, Evanescence, Flyleaf, Trivium, and more.

A crowd in excess of 10,000 was served by a JBL VERTEC system with 16 mid-size VT4888 line array elements per side and 12 JBL SRX728 2 x 18” subwoofers per side, with six VRX932LA’s in use for front fills. Farber Sound’s Brad Van Voorst was system engineer for the event.

The primary rental sound provider for this year’s Family Values Tour is Clair Brothers/Showco. All shows on the current summer tour except the concert at the Float-Rite Park Amphitheater in Somerset, Wisconsin are being fully serviced by this leading international firm. Due to logistical issues, the tour’s regular system was not able to be onsite for the event, and Farber’s Crown-powered JBL rig was called into duty. “The show’s touring production crew was very grateful that we were able to pull this one off,” said Dave Farber, Owner of Farber Sound.

A total of 224,000 watts of Crown I-Tech power (model I-T8000 amplifiers) was used to drive the system, with a dbx 160SL managing music program mix limiting functions. Harman’s HiQnet� System Architect was in use as a remote control/monitoring software platform for the audio crew. “Our method is to set up each Crown I-Tech rack with a network switch,” Farber explained. “This lets us use a wireless network for controlling channel gain adjustments and monitoring power amplifier performance and passband limiting. It is a convenient technology and a real timesaver for the crew onsite.”

“The world’s leading tour sound firms occasionally need to augment their resources with regional equipment due to show scheduling and logistical considerations,” noted David Scheirman, vice president, tour sound for JBL Professional. “The growing number of JBL VERTEC systems in place around the world ensures that companies like Clair Brothers/Showco have access to a consistent and familiar loudspeaker system package to extend their reach when necessary.”
