Muchmusic, the Canadian equivalent
to MTV, hosted the awards
show outside the City TV/Muchmusic
Studios on Queen St. West
in Downtown Toronto, on a
rainy evening. The station
utilized three stages for
the show, (one small inside,
and two large outdoor stages)
We set up three different
Holophone® system at the
front of each stage at different
distances to the performers
depending on the stage size.
This gave us the ability to
monitor and broadcast three
very unique live-music venues
at the same time.
What a party! On hand to
perform that evening were
Lenny Kravitz, The Guess Who
( who did a very cool version
of 'American Woman' with Kravitz),
Moby, Destiny's Child (Va-voom!),
The Barenaked Ladies, Blink
182 and many others.
As usual, it rained, but
we were very well prepared
that night and the systems
performed flawlessly. We learned
a lot about the way the Holophone®
must be used in conjunction
with the existing technologies
involved in a Stereo broadcast,
and most specifically, how
much 'space' the Virtual Surround
Signal must be given in order
to achieve it's desired effect.
It sure sounded cool. And
the show was a blast! |
