NEW YORK, NEW YORK!
LINCOLN CENTER SUMMER SERIES
 
 
"The Renkus-Heinz VL3 Line Array System was a clear choice given the sonically diverse roster presented by the summer series."
 
Audio Incorporated's season had kicked off with a full roster of events at Lincoln Center. For busy New Yorkers confined to Manhattan's concrete canyons, the summer events calendar at Lincoln Center offers a welcome respite from their office towers and cramped apartments.

From concerts and shows to the ever-popular Midsummer Night Swing Festival, the area surrounding the famed venue becomes a mid-town oasis on balmy summer days and evenings.

The adjacent Damrosch Park hosts most of the Center's outdoor events, which this year included cellist Yo-Yo Ma's Silk Road Project, as well as performances by Dave Brubeck, MeShell Ndegeocello, Ramblin' Jack Elliot and more.

Along with the Out of Doors series and other free concerts, the park hosts the annual Midsummer Night Swing series, where couples can dance to live performances of the music of the 1940s, 50s and 60s.

With such an eclectic mix of musical material, Sinclair opted for a self-powered sound system based around six Renkus- Heinz VERSYS VL3 cabinets per side, with a pair of DR18-2 dual 18-inch subwoofers per side for low frequency punch.

  The system is augmented by dual delay towers, each with five PN102LA arrays, further down the plaza. A Yamaha PM5D console handles front of house duties, with an M7CL desk at monitor position.

As Sinclair explains, the Renkus-Heinz system was a clear choice given the sonically diverse roster presented by the summer series.

"The shows really do run the gamut, from classical and jazz to rock and hip hop," he says. "The Midsummer Night Swing series includes ballroom dancing from the Lindy to disco, and the Out Of Doors events included genres of Americana ranging from Dave Brubeck to roots rock and zydeco."

For Sinclair and company, this was their 13th year at the Midsummer Night Swing Festival, and their first doing the out of doors event as well.

"The summer series gets bigger every year, and promises to continue to grow," he observes.

"With very little time between events, it's important for us to bring in a single system that can not only provide the best coverage, but can handle the entire summer's wide range of programs and performances. The Renkus-Heinz system is simply the best for the job."
