Mach Slingshot in Macau

The Venue was Forum I, Macau - a 2000 capacity, indoor venue for multi-purpose activities including sport events and music concerts. Shalom AV Technology Limited (Hong Kong & Macau’s sole agency) and Master Piece Light & Audio Engineering Co (one of Macau’s largest rental companies) provided all the lighting, sound equipment and rigging for this concert. Master Piece is the first rental company in Macau to introduce the Mach SlingShot for daily use.

During this concert, they used a total of 8 Mach SlingShot MS1262 3-way top box as the main reinforcement system. For each side of the auditorium, two clusters of 2xMS1262 served the front seats and 1xMS1262 served the side seats. They were hung under the truss above the stage floor to achieve even coverage. Four MS118 bass cabinets were placed in front of the stage. An EV Dx38 was used as the system crossover for the front SlingShot top boxes and subwoofers to form the 4-way system. The side fills were using Mach MS-3’s as their crossover/controller.

The SlingShot system provided the powerful, dynamic and rich sound needed for this combination of classical and pop music which included the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra and a host of singers from Hong Kong, Macau, China and Europe including CoCo Lee, Eason Chan, Warron Mok and Sopilna XXX.

Mr. Chan Wai Man, chief sound engineer of Master Piece, Macau said that, “The Mach loudspeaker provided good clarity, dynamic sound and the high sound pressure level needed for both classical and pop music. Also the dispersion angle was precise and easy to aim. Even a small amount of cabinets could provide enough sound level and clarity. Good, dynamic, clear sound for live music in a big auditorium!"
