All of France marks the beginning of the modern French Nation each year on 14 July, with events taking place all over the country. (For FRENCH version please see below.)
As in previous years, Lawo mixing consoles provided the highest possible audio quality for more than 500,000 Concert de Paris spectators at the foot of the Eiffel Tower.
The Concert de Paris is one of the largest classical music events held anywhere in the world, and is followed by a traditional firework display. The show - featuring the National Symphony Orchestra and the Choir of Radio France, along with internationally renowned soloists - was relayed to TV viewers and radio listeners in France and beyond with the Lawo setup.
For the central celebrations on the Champ du Mars next to the Eiffel Tower - the highlight of the National Holiday - Radio France used an mc 96, Lawo's flagship audio production console, for ultimate FOH mixing performance. Four hands operated the large mc 96: those of St phane Desmons took care of the orchestra, while Alexandre Martin was in charge of the choirs and solo singers. On the stage, the monitoring position was equipped with an mc 36 operated by Stephane Touvenin. In Radio France's OB Truck n.5, an mc 66 was in the expert hands of Laurent Fracchia for the live broadcast of the event on France Inter and France 2, the main public radio and TV stations in France.
The super comprehensive interface and advanced multi-user features of the mc 96 gave us the opportunity to reduce the quantity of equipment we needed, while increasing the working capabilities of our sound engineers, says Bruno Lompech, head of the Radio France Sound Reinforcement Department.
The show was flawless and gave us a new opportunity to demonstrate the power of our solutions in such large-scale events, adds Joffrey Heyraud, Lawo's Sales Director for France.
This world-class concert was immediately followed by an amazing fireworks show on the Eiffel Tower - a wonderful opening to a historical weekend, which concluded with the climax of Les Bleus victory in the FIFA World Cup.
Lawo contribue aux festivit s du 14 juillet en France : mixage et retransmission haut de gamme pour un v nement prestigieux
Comme les ann es pr c dentes, les consoles de mixage Lawo taient de la partie pour assurer une qualit sonore irr prochable lors du Concert de Paris au pied de la Tour Eiffel, devant pr s de 500.000 spectateurs et c l brer ainsi l' v nement fondateur de la R publique Fran aise.
Le Concert de Paris est l'un des plus grands v nements de musique classique au monde et pr c de le somptueux feu d'artifice du Champ de Mars. L'Orchestre National de France, le Ch ur et la Maitrise de Radio France, accompagn s de solistes de renomm e internationale r galent le public des plus grands airs des maitres du classique. Les quipes techniques de Radio France sont mobilis es pour assurer la sonorisation du site et la retransmission en direct des festivit s sur France Inter et France 2.
A cette occasion, le summum du savoir-faire Lawo, une console mc 96 offrait la quintessence de la qualit audio, de la fiabilit et de facilit d'utilisation pour le mixage en fa ade. Quatre mains y manipulaient cette spectaculaire mc 96: St phane Desmons tait en charge de la partie orchestre et Alexandre Martin s'occupait des ch urs et des solistes. Sur sc ne, les retours taient assur s par une mc 36 pilot e par St phane Touvenin. Dans le car de reportage no.5 de Radio France, une mc 66 et les oreilles expertes de Laurent Fracchia garantissait un rendu exceptionnel tous les auditeurs et t l spectateurs de France Inter et France 2.
L'interface super compl te et les fonctionnalit s multi-utilisateurs avanc es de la mc 96 nous ont permis de r duire la quantit d' quipements, tout en am liorant le confort d'utilisation de nos ing nieurs du son , explique Bruno Lompech, responsable du d partement sonorisation de Radio France.
Le spectacle tait sublime et nous a permis une fois de plus de mettre en vidence la pertinence de nos solutions pour des v nements de cette envergure , se r jouit Joffrey Heyraud, le directeur des ventes de Lawo pour la France.
La superbe r ussite de ce concert de niveau mondial, couronn par le feu d'artifice sur la Tour Eiffel semblait d j annoncer la dimension historique du week-end : le deuxi me titre de champion du monde de football des Bleus.
