For this year's Berlin International Film Festival (Berlinale), the outdoor simulcast of Fritz Lang's 1927 film "Metropolis" kept the attention of 2,000 fans braving Germany's winter cold for two-and-a-half hours. Berlin-based Werner Audio GmbH set up a Meyer Sound MICA line array loudspeaker system for the Pariser Platz at the Brandenburg Gate. The official world premiere of the reconstructed classic silent movie "Metropolis" was shown in Berlin's Friedrichstadtpalast theatre, with a live orchestra playing the original movie score. To provide crystal clear audio reproduction for the simulcast on the plaza, Werner Audio deployed a Meyer Sound system comprising two hangs of ten MICA line array loudspeakers and two 600-HP subwoofers each. A Galileo loudspeaker management system provided signal processing. The system was operated by sound engineer Sven Hoffmann and system techs "Fränki" Ehlers and Adrian Burdasz. IT-Audio of Berlin conducted the noise measurements to ensure compliance with Berlin's environmental rules. Click here to see a video of the "Metropolis" simulcast by AFP. February, 2010 |
