NEWS RELEASE
Finsbury Park, London
RCF 4PRO- RISE to the
occasion
Finsbury
Park in London became a wash with colour
and sound for The Rise Festival,
brainchild of London's Mayor Ken
Livingston. The free music festival was
designed to celebrate London's multi
cultural diversity and opposing
racism.
The event featuring four live music stages
with acts including, The Wailers,
Buzzcocks, Graham Coxon (former guitarist
with Blur) and a host of other musicians,
who provided music for all walks of life
from jazz to hip-hop, indie to reggae and
everything in between. The audio side was
under the control of Willpower who sub
hired systems in from various other rental
companies. Reading based Sabre
International was one of these and they
supplied equipment for 2 stages, the Big
Cuba Fiesta and Mela stage. David of Sabre
decided to give the powerful RCF 4PRO
7001-A system the job of the Big Cuba
Fiesta stage. David explained, "For the
this stage we needed a system that could
handle the dynamics of the Cuban music. We
have always been a fan and long term user
of RCF systems and I felt confident that
the system would replicate the music to a
large audience".
What David had in his mind was a 4PRO
active system comprising 2 x 7001-A
systems and 4 x 8001-AS per side. After
consulting with RCF's Greg Oliver he
decided that this would give him all the
power he needed in a very compact ground
stacked array, whilst not intimidating the
audience or distract from the stage.
The 4PRO system is designed for live
concert sound applications, As standard
the 7001-A is a 'Three Way' configured
Active Speaker System, however by adding
to the 4PRO 8001AS Active 18" Subwoofer
System you can easily convert the 7001-A
into a uniquely outstanding 4 way
Active.

Greg Oliver added"
With this all active system it allows for a simple
plug and play set-up and allowing the system to be
moved with ease both reducing the load in/out time
and the crew numbers".
David commented " The system performed faultlessly,
and given the fact that there was a large crowd
gathered in front of the stage dancing for the
whole event, it was a complete success"
