Luo Dayou Chunlong Symphony Night Concert Guangzhou Station selects Verity Audio’s first three-way large line array
The “Luo Dayou Spring Dragon Symphony Night Concert” is being held in theaters and concert halls in various cities, breaking the traditional singing style of pop music. Luo Dayou invited 17 musicians to form the “Spring Dragon Orchestra” with him, adapting numerous classic pieces with Eastern and Western acoustic instruments, combining classical and pop music, bringing a refreshing experience to the audience.
The Sun Yat sen Memorial Hall, where Guangzhou Station is held, was completed in 1931. It has 4729 seats on two floors and is an iconic building in Guangzhou. It is also a national key cultural relic protection unit. There are many restrictions on the placement of the sound system here. Circular domes and glass windows are also prone to various reflections.

The main expansion system is provided by Guangzhou Haona Audio Equipment Co., Ltd. As a well-known and experienced performance rental company, Haona has adopted Verity Audio’s latest V2 line array for the first time at the Zhongshan Memorial Hall, effectively overcoming the challenges brought by the venue.

Due to the fact that Zhongshan Memorial Hall is a cultural relic preservation unit, many locations do not allow hanging or placing speakers. In addition, the original sound field conditions mainly rely on natural reflection sound. The biggest challenge for the sound system during performances here comes from high-frequency reflection, so the angle of the speakers needs to be calculated very accurately, “said Zhang Liyang, the technical manager in charge of this performance at Haona. As the latest model of Verity Audio, V2 has a long and accurate high-frequency transmission distance, which can effectively cover the second floor audience area
In addition, as this is a symphony concert with a large number of vocals and instrument performances, it also greatly tests the high-frequency clarity and expressiveness of the sound system. Symphony music tests the quality of speakers the most. Various ethnic instruments such as flute and yangqin are used in performances. To spread the sound of so many instruments just right without being too loud, the requirements for speakers are very high. If the resolution is poor, the sound produced will be blurry, “Mr. Zhang continued to explain.

Due to the large number of instruments occupying the stage, the performers are located almost in the middle of the speakers on both sides, making it easy for the microphone to pick up the sound coming out of the speakers, which can have an impact on the performers or singers on the stage. Therefore, the angle placement and volume control should also be very accurate.
The main expansion system adopts four Verity Audio V2 three-way 12 inch line arrays on each side of the stage, stacked above two VS28Bs. There are 10 P10s on the platform lip to supplement the coverage of the first three rows of audience seats, and the system is driven by Verity Audio’s V4.25 amplifier. The PA mixing console is a DiGiCo SD10, while the monitor is a DiGiCo SD5 Quantum to handle the large amount of echo signals from the symphony orchestra.

Verity Audio has been working closely with Magna and has made multiple improvements to the design of V2. Haona has always had many requirements for the sound quality of performances, “said Igor, Chief System Installation Engineer at Verity Audio. This is our first three-way line array, which also means we have entered the live performance market, because the three-way system is currently a standard configuration for live performances. Horner gave us many suggestions, and after trying different high-end unit combinations, we finally obtained satisfactory results for them. At the same time, we have also equipped this system with a very high-quality processor
