Martin Audio chosen for Schlosshofkonzert 2020

Martin Audio’s German rental partner, Kotsch-Showtechnik from Nessetal near Gotha, supplied a sound reinforcement solution for the reproduction of classical music at the Schlosshofkonzert 2020.

In order to meet the COVID-19 requirements, the Gotha Thuringia Philharmonic Orchestra moved for three evenings into the courtyard of the Friedenstein Castle in the City. Here, taking into account the rules of distance, a baroque evening, an operetta gala and a concert with violin and grand piano were able to take place in front of an audience of 400.

Torsten Kotsch, owner of Kotsch Showtechnik, implemented the sound and lighting design with his team, choosing self-powered products from Martin Audio. The MLA Compact was used as the main PA, with the area in front of the stage covered with DD12 speakers, and CDD-Live8 speakers were used as stage monitors.

The main PA was rigged continuously in the Castle courtyard for a week. Due to the structural requirements in the castle, the FOH position had to be set a good 40 metres from the stage. In addition, reflective surfaces on and around the courtyard did not make mixing any easier. Here Torsten Kotsch used a special function of the MLA Compact to minimise reflections.
