New Edition Tours with RCF

ATLANTA — Hailed as an R&B supergroup, New Edition embarked on a tour this summer. Nearly 40 years since they first formed, the original six members are once again out on the road. Georgia-based Atlanta AV and Raleigh, NC-based Alpha Productions supported the tour, providing an RCF TT+ system. The setup includes 32 TTL55-A three-way line array modules for primary coverage, 12 TTL33-A three-way line array modules for outfills and 18 TTS56-A dual 21-inch subwoofers set up in cardioid configuration for the low end.

BELLEVUE, WA — CCI Solutions recently installed an L-Acoustics ARCS WIFO PA system and a Roland M-5000 OHRCA Live Mixing Console in Bellevue’s Calvary Chapel Eastside. The M-5000‘s operational flexibility, sound and compatability with the Dante network protocol were some of the reasons why the volunteer-only church production team went with the setup.
