MEB is first Adamson Metrix partner in Austria

20 July 2012

Austria - MEB Veranstaltungstechnik is the first Adamson Metrix partner in Austria. They are located in Leondig in Upper Austria near the city of Linz. This small format sound and lighting hire company established by Martin Lang and Markus Six about 10 years ago employs freelancers as needed.

Their main engagements are business and corporate events, design and installation services for permanent installations, and live performances for audiences as small as 100, up to a few thousand people.

MEB first heard the Adamson Metrix PA at a demo which took place in Munich, Germany. Adamson's Austrian representative Günther Huemer was then provided a demo for a live event, which lead to the decision to purchase a Metrix system, the first into Austria. "We heard things in the sound that we had never heard before, the system sounded really clear and specific." explains Lang. The purchase was paired with some Point Series enclosures Lang describes as "Incredible".

"It was really a hard decision for us to pick the right PA-System for the future of our company, it's always hard to be the first with a system in an area, but we couldn't have chosen a better one. We love the Metrix and the Point Series, and the reaction to the soundis always positive, most comment on smoothness of the spectrum of the systems distribution of all frequencies." concludes Lang.

The first gig with the new system took place on 16-17 June in Traun, Austria. The event was the US Car Meeting 2012 - the largest of its kind in Austria.

The next show for the system took place at the Austrian capital, Vienna. The city boasts the country's largest outdoor festival DonauInsel Fest or Danube Island Festival, where a 3m people visit the famous event every summer. The festival takes place on the Danube Island just in the outskirts of Vienna. There are many stages, and this year MEB'sMetrix System was featured on the small SJ Stage.

The system featured six Metrix-t boxes stacked on Metrix Sub-t's per side, with a single T21 Sub placed in the middle for additional bass and with Point 8 boxes used as front-fills. Two Adamson M15 and M12 boxes were on used for monitoring on stage. The sound design was by Klaus Hübner of Soundworx, using Adamson's Shooter v.2.8.4.
