VUE’s al-Class & h-Class powers the Imperial Ball 2020 featuring Johnny Depp

The Imperial Ball 2020 Charity Concert was once again held during the weekend of the NAMM show. The concert benefits The Sweet Stuff Foundation that was founded in 2013 to provide assistance to career musicians and families struggling with illness and disability.

Past Imperial Ball performers have included Steven Tyler, Joe Walsh, Alice Cooper, Joe Perry, Johnny Depp and more. Over the last 3 years, VUE Audio has co-sponsored the Ball by providing sound reinforcement needs through our rental partners. Most notably, Neptune Productions provided their VUE al-Class line arrays and h-Class for monitors and side-fills.

VUE NAMM Demo and Party

For the 2019 Holiday Season, The Magic Of Christmas is taking place at the Merrill Auditorium in Portland, Maine and the 82 piece orchestra will be performing over a 3 week period. In the past, Daniel Willis of AV Technik reports having used Dynacord Cobra and Meyer fill speakers mounted in the auditorium. When asked why he switched to VUE Audio al-4 he stated “We have always used Dynacord Cobra for this event – we felt that for how detailed the VUE al-4 is, it would be perfect for a large orchestra and vocalists.” 

AV Technik’s system engineer, Nick Pires, utilized Ease Focus to spec out 12 al-4s per side and ensure the rig was deployed properly. After the first performance, Willis explained “The system has exceeded our expectations for this application…Sound Killer…Our client (PSO) is thrilled. The coverage in the 2200 seat auditorium including the balcony, was crystal clear to the last row.”
