D&B system selected for Bethel Music show in South Africa

Bethel Music, part of the contemporary worship movement in the US, recently headed to South Africa for a two-night concert series. Alongside an appearance in Pretoria, Bethel Music led an evening of song and praise with the Henry Pike Worship Band at Meerendal Wine Estate, Cape Town, on March 25th. A D&B system, provided by Cape Town-based technical production company Golden Circle Events, was chosen to meet the technical requirements of the bands for the open-air event.

“A great deal of kit is required for a production of this size, including audio, backline, lighting, video and power supply”, says Golden Circle General Manager Lindsay Barton. “We worked closely with several other technical companies to organise the event, whilst loudspeakers were sourced by us, C&S Audio and Ultra Events.

On the day of the event, heavy rains made for a challenging set-up environment. Despite the conditions, an enormous system was deployed including 48 flown V-Series line array loudspeakers, sixteen flown V-Series V-Sub subwoofers, twelve B22 subs in a cardioid sub array, four V7Ps as front fill and twelve Q1s, all driven by D&B’s D80 and D12 amplifiers.

“Getting the subs to spread wide enough and to project all the way to the back at the same time was initially challenging, but with a few adjustments, we were able to achieve the desired coverage, reaching a distance of 170 metres to the back of the busy crowd and covering a width of 100 metres”, explains Barton. Despite the downpours, an estimated 17,000 people attended the evening of worship, song and celebration with Bethel Music.
