GDANSK, Poland — For a Jennifer Lopez performance that drew nearly 25,000 to PGE Arena Stadium here recently, Gigantsound Letus provided a JBL VerTec system powered by 80 Powersoft K Series amplifiers.
During her first-ever concert in Poland, “Jenny from the block” performed songs from her seven albums, most of them included in her 2012 release Dance Again… The Hits. “We faced a great acoustic challenge because of the clamshell-shaped stadium,” said Yurek Taborowski, owner of Gigantsound Letus, the Polish rental company that provided the equipment. “We decided to use 60 Powersoft K10 amps for 110 VerTec VT4888 cabinets and 20 Powersoft K20 amps for 80 SB1000 subs. About 1 million watts of Powersoft green audio power, fed from two 500 kW generators (including one spare), dramatically affected the sound quality and intelligibility in the huge Gdańsk arena.”
The PA setup’s results impressed Rick Camp, the FOH engineer of the JLO tour. Camp is a live sound veteran whose credits include collaborations with Madonna, Beyoncé, Anita Baker, Chris Brown, Earth Wind & Fire, Kelly Clarkson, Mary J. Blige and Natalie Cole.
“Powersoft amps loaded with Mario Di Cola’s presets make an okay-sounding VerTec rig sound amazing! From the fast and punchy response of the K20 amps on the subs to the K10’s warm and very midrange and high end, these amps make VerTec sound like a million dollars,” Camp said. “It was the best sounding VerTec system I’ve ever mixed.”
