Christian Loffler

We were excited to get the opportunity to provide sound and lighting for the first live event back at the fantastic Left Bank Leeds venue. Built in 1907, it's a former anglican church, now a grade IIlisted building.

Christian Loffler's music really needed a sound system capable of incredible clarity and dynamic responsiveness.

The venue's layout needed wide, even horizontal dispersion, but being a former church, it's hard reflective surfaces create the classic church sound, meaning that reverb is a serious potential problem to make good audio, difficult to achieve. The client wanted a Funktion-One system and as we have various different Funktion-One systems in our rental inventory, we chose to use our Vero VX.

Traditionally used in multiples of four or more cabinets per side, this was the first time we had used just two per side. No more power was needed, but it's very narrow vertical coverage pattern meant that excess reflections were kept to an absolute minimum. Both our system engineer and Christian Loffler's engineer were surprised by the lack of bad reflections and the system sounded exceptional.

Loffler's music is a journey from the quietest ambient pad sounds, to pounding kick drums and the Vero VX with its accompanying F124 subs dealt with this with stunning clarity, power and authority.

Our bespoke VX ground stack system was used on this show for the first time, giving us the flexibility to use the VX system for smaller shows.
