Florida Family Event Grows with Dynacord Sound
Drawing over 12,000 people from across South Florida's Dade and Broward counties on Halloween, the Family Fun Night held at Christ the Rock Church in Miami is less local church function and more regional phenomenon. Once again, Miami-based Drummer Boy Sound deployed Dynacord Cobra compact line arrays, EV monitors, amps, mics and fills to deliver perfect audio for the free outdoor event, headlined by Latin hit makers Contagious.

"Last year we were a smaller company, and this was a smaller event," says Harold Cummings of Drummer Boy Sound. "But word spreads quickly when you sound good! Like this show, our company has grown a great deal in the last 12 months, and we came back equipped to up the ante once again. We pooled our Cobra-4 and Cobra-2 rigs for the main PA, flying five Cobra TOP boxes per side, ground-stacking three Cobra SUB and three Cobra PWH subs per side."

The stage was set on a 40 by 40 feet mound, outside on the Church's four-acre campus, so DBS had plenty of space to fill. The clarity and coverage the Cobra provided was, as always, amazing: "You could hear the bass tight and true three football fields away," Cummings adds, "and we flew just five boxes per side over the subs-you'd have to hear it for yourself before believing such small arrays could throw clean audio over such a large area.

"The EV equipment also sounded superb: the band loved the eight QRx monitors onstage and the SxA360 side fills. We ran our trusty CP3000S amplifiers alongside the dedicated Cobra drive racks, and also used EV N/D967 microphones. This system spec is works for us every time, for a wide range of events and shows. The sound quality and performance we get from our EV and Dynacord gear is one of the reasons our company continues to build a strong reputation. Event organizer Karen Tejada remembered the sound quality from last year when the Cobra was ground-stacked, and was even more impressed this year with the bigger stage and flown arrays. That said, we're very proud to have been a part of this event and are looking forward to next year's!"
