All Electro-Voice for Concert Series at Renowned Ann Arbor Auditorium
Aerial Enterprises, Inc., of Whitmore Lake, Michigan deployed an all Electro-Voice PA to ensure recent prestige concert events at Ann Arbor’s Hill Auditorium sounded excellent, including the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis (March 15) and Brazilian guitarist/singer Gilberto Gil (March 16).
Though the musical content changed considerably from night to night, the EV rig delivered consistently warm and musical sound in the hands of longtime EV advocates Jim Lillie and Jeff Jones of Aerial Enterprises. The concerts were presented by the University of Michigan Musical Society (UMS), a premier arts, entertainment and education organization.
“This combination of EV products sounds incredible in Hill Auditorium,” says Jeff Jones, “and both these shows sounded so sweet. Jim Lillie designed this system, and has it tweaked to perfection in this outstanding venue.” Aerial used L/C/R arrays comprised of a XLC215 flown over five XLC full range boxes, with a center array of six XLCs.
“The FOH engineers for both acts (David Robinson w/ Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra & Leco Possolo w/ Gilberto Gil) commented on how wonderfully natural this rig sounded,” Jones adds, “both hardly used any EQ on the Heritage channels, and both barely touched the FOH Klark Teknik Eqs - they just let the system sing. These were sold out shows with outstanding artists and standing ovations; the superb EV sound quality was perfect for this truly exceptional venue.”
