Another Festival Ollin Kan Success For Audiovisa In Mexico
Once again, Consorcio Audiovisa S.A de C.V. of Mexico City supplied and supported a large-scale rig featuring EAW KF730 compact line arrays and EAW SB1000 subwoofers - as well as EAW LA Series loudspeakers for stage monitoring - for the annual Festival Internacional Ollin Kan.
The lively month-long music festival is held in Bosque de Tlalpan before culminating with shows in Zocalo, the main square in Mexico City. The 2007 version featured 72 musical groups and artists from around the globe, celebrating music and dance of the Iberian Peninsula and Latin America, Asia and Europe, Africa and America.
Consorcio Audiovisa, a member of ELAN and owned by José Luis and Alex Morales, supplied sound reinforcement and support for all Festival Ollin Kan dates. They deployed arrays made up of KF730 line array modules to each side of the stage (flown or stacked, depending upon facilities), with SB1000 sub stacks beneath each array. In Mexico City, which presents an extremely wide coverage area, the main arrays were supplemented by two more KF730 arrays posted to the very far left and right of the stage, again with SB1000 subs underneath.
Morales adds that Consorcio Audiovisa was selected to provide sound for the festival because of its successful work last year, and the KF730 has played a significant role in that success. "The KF730 has helped us enhance the events we work, and has opened doors to expand our client base." Below is the hard-working sound team that worked the Mexico City portion of Festival Olli Kan 2007.
