NEXT-proaudio Installs Capitolio in LisbonA new sound reinforcement system has been designed and installed at Capitolio Theater in Lisbon by Audiomatrix. Capitolio is a very well-known space located in the center of the city of Portuguese capital which hosts a big variety of events such as live concerts, corporate events, as well as theatre activities. Capitolio was looking for a new sound system that could offer high sound fidelity throughout the venue for the 1,500-person capacity. The entire system was specified by Audiomatrix technical director and front-of-house engineer Marco Esteves. The company chose the NEXT-proaudio solution due to a combination of its versatility, clear sound, coverage capabilities, and the easy tuning using Soundware software. Esteves used the manufacturer' support to design the setup, which comprised 12 LA122A, 2 LAs118A, as well as six ground stacked LAs418 subwoofers as the main system, four HFA108 and two HFA206 as front-fill, two HFA112 and four HFA118sHP as side-fill, and 10 LAm114xA as stage monitors. NEXT-proaudio's acoustical engineer Tiago Correia was on hand to provide technical support at Capitolio's first concert with the international band Morgan Heritage. "The configuration was a perfect choice for the venue" said Correia. "We knew we could count on Marco Esteves extensive experience and the final result was amazing." Following the installation, Esteves, was also pleased with the sound quality. "The sound is warm and clear, it can handle anything from a jazz trio to a metal show. That gives the venue unlimited flexibility. I'm confident we've built a proper system," he said. According to NEXT-proaudio, the venue's owner expected the system to sound good, but the results surpassed his expectations. Additionally, the company reports that the Morgan Heritage's FOH engineer who ran the opening show including its European tour for the band, commented that the "system was sounding clear, transparent and free of distortion."
