TORONTO — Held in late summer at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, Tony Robbins' popular seminar "Unleash The Power Within" was amplified by a Martin Audio sound system. Robbins is known for his high-energy delivery. The world's leading personal development coach led the 4,000 participants through a dynamic program designed to make positive and lasting change in their lives.
Stanco Productions provided “turnkey” production as they have for the past 15 years. Owner Stan Nickens is the event producer. Curtis Kelly is the audio director and Justin Slazas is the system tech. Asked about the challenges, Slazas mentioned controlling Robbins' tremendous from-a-whisper-to-a scream dynamic range.
This is handled using a unique gain structure and insert tools. "Plus Martin Audio speakers are very natural sounding boxes and speech intelligibility is very easy to achieve given the crossover points," Slazas adds. Stanco carries an extensive complement of Martin Audio speakers including 32 W8LCs, 12 W8LMs and 4 W8LMDs. As Slazas points out, "We've got more subs on this show than a typical rock show for 5,000 people."
Summing up, Nickens concludes, "Robbins delivery style is like a rock ‘n’ roll show. His teachings are punctuated with high-energy music and visuals. This keeps the audience energized, engaged and focused.” Tony is very astute regarding elements of production.
He loves technology; however, hands down the most important of these elements is the audio.” A staff second to none coupled with the Martin product line allows Robbins to focus on “Unleashing the Power Within.”
