Yamaha supports air shows in Slovakia

The annual Slovak International Air Fest (SIAF) is one of Europe’s premier air shows and, this year, the Slovak Aviation Agency added a new air festival to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the death of Slovakian politician, diplomat and aviator General Milan Rastislav Štefánik. Yamaha audio systems were an essential part of both events.

The Slovak Aviation Agency stages SIAF at Sliac airport every August. This year it attracted an audience of over 100,000. Before this, in May, the new Aviation Fest Pieštany (FLP) was held at Pieštany airport, located between Sliac and the Slovakian capital Bratislava. Systems integrator MediaTech was asked to supply the public address systems to both events, choosing Yamaha systems for these applications.

“At both events, the main zone was the spectator area along the flight line, which measured approximately 800 x 300 m, plus a VIP area covering 300 m x 100 m,” says MediaTech’s Mario Brosch. “We had to consider that there may be up to 100,000 spectators in the main area and all of them had to hear and understand announcements, even when aircraft were passing and in bad weather like wind and rain. The speakers could also only be positioned along the boundary of the spectator area.”

Brosch and the Bratislava-based MediaTech team chose a system comprising 40 pole-mounted DZR15 powered loudspeakers. A TF1 digital mixing console was used to mix the input sources.

MediaTech also supplied the audio systems for a hangar party at both events - comprising two DSR115 active loudspeakers and two DXS15 powered subwoofers, mixed on a QL5 digital console - and, at Pieštany, an outdoor stage with theatre productions based on important events in the life of General Štefánik.

Here two DZR315 three-way powered loudspeakers and two DZR18XLF extended low frequency powered subwoofers comprised the main PA, with five DSR112 active loudspeakers as stage monitors, all mixed on another QL5 digital mixing console.
