dBTechnologies Helps Santa Upgrade His Cavern
This month has seen the installation of dBTechnologies' wireless microphone and loudspeaker systems at SantaPark, Finland's festive theme park, just in time for its busiest season. The project for newly appointed Finnish distributor Live Nation, involved upgrading the stage entertainment arena at the underground attraction, where Opera 410D speakers and PU920 series wireless microphone systems are now used in the SantaPark Show.
Jori Asikainen of Live Nation says: "It was an easy decision when specifying the sound equipment for this project; both systems we used were exactly what we needed. The installation went smoothly and it is proving to be reliable even at Arctic temperatures."
The digitally controlled 16 channel PU920 wireless microphone system features extensive working range, long battery life and a newly developed digital squelch control, offering extremely high operating reliability.
The Opera 410D is part of the newest Opera Digital range which boasts digital bi-amping, dual active limiter, digital sound processor and asymmetrical horn design, all packed neatly into a rugged yet lightweight polypropolene housing.
Asikainen explains how he feels about the new partnership with dBTechnologies: "We are extremely excited about our new cooperation. The time was just perfect to present the new Opera Digital, as well as the Flexsys and DVX series. And the DVA Line Arrays are absolutely in a class of their own.
"The whole concept of active professional audio was something we were looking for, and now we have it - and we are very proud of it."
Harald von Falkenstein, dBTechnologies European sales manager adds: "We needed a distributor who would be able to promote all the different new lines. Not only retail, but also to the rental and installation markets. Live Nation's contacts through event organisation ensure great access on the rental side, and they have the added bonus of doing their own installations too."
Live Nation was responsible for providing the new sound and light system for the stage entertainment venue at SantaPark.
A SantaPark spokesperson explains more about the theme park based at ‘Santa's official address in the Arctic circle': "You can experience many marvellous things that no other place in the whole world can offer! See elves busy with their tasks, visit the wonders of the Ice Gallery, taste gingerbreads straight from the oven and most important of all, whisper your wishes to the real Santa Claus."
