BRISTOL, U.K. — Yes Events Ltd., which purchased a major Theatre & Touring (TT+) system from RCF nine months ago, has expanded its inventory with an eight-enclosure TTL33-A compact, 3-way active line array system, two more TTS28-A subs (bringing their total to six), plus six TT25-SMA touring 15in stage monitors.
The events company, which played a key role supporting the Rock Choir flash mobs on March 25 (with mobs performing at 38 locations across the U.K., all beginning precisely at 12:15 pm) also invested in RCF’s RDNet system software for the TTL33-A gear.
Along with that event, which featured “shoppers” who dropped everything to belt out rock, pop and gospel music, the added gear will help the events company prepare for a busy summer season, according to Yes Events director Tom Chennells.
Bristol’s new £500m Cabot Circus was among several locations where RCF gear popped up to support the soloists leading the mobs at each location. There, the setup included two elements per side, making use of the gear’s wide dispersion capabilities.
Elsewhere, Yes Events fielded other RCF components, including their existing TT25-A active two-way monitors, compact ART 722-A active full range enclosure with ART 905-AS active 15in bass bins and the 4PRO series, with 4PRO 8003-AS active 18in sub.
“We are big fans of the Touring & Theatre range,” said Chennells, who runs Yes Events with Nick Ratcliffe. “We topped up our inventory with the Rock Choir event coming up but really purchased the new SMA stage monitors because we have won the contract to look after 25 outdoor community festivals this summer, generally featuring smaller acts and tribute bands.
“As the TTL33-A is compatible with the RDNet control and DSP input cards, we can be specific about how it throws the sound — which is vital at sites where containment is an issue. This is a unique feature and one of the reasons why we chose the TTL33-A.”
Yes Events have also purchased their own stage roof, so can now provide a one-stop shop. And as for the foreseeable future, Tom predicts, “We will continue to expand with RCF.”
