Vue Audiotechnik Gets Jazzy in Detroit

Vue Audiotechnik systems provided by Whitmore Lake, MI-based Aerial Enterprises were used for two of the stages at the 36th annual Detroit Jazz Festival this year.

Detroit, MI (September 9, 2013)—Vue Audiotechnik systems provided by Whitmore Lake, MI-based Aerial Enterprises were used for two of the stages at the 36th annual Detroit Jazz Festival this year.

“We’d been hearing a lot of positive things about Vue, and were very curious to hear their systems in action. We’ve known Jeff Taylor for many years, so when I found out he’d joined the company, I contacted him about trying a couple line arrays at the festival,” said Aerial’s Dave Bartlebaugh, who also serves as production manager for the festival.

Bartlebaugh, along with Aerial’s Jim Lillie, deployed Vue al-Class systems and complementary h-Class components at two of the festival’s nine stages.

The Mack Avenue Records stage featured Stereo al-4 subcompact arrays of eight elements each. A pair of Vue V4 Systems Engines provided power and processing. For the low frequencies, three VUE hs-28 powered subwoofers were placed in a cardioid arrangement. Finally, a pair of Vue hm-112s driven by a single V4 Systems Engine handled downstage center monitor duty.

At the larger Carhartt Amphitheater stage, Aerial deployed the Vue al-8 line array. Two hangs of eight elements each were powered by four Vue V6 Systems Engines. A quartet of Vue hs-28 subwoofers were arranged in end-fire cardioid configuration.

Midas Pro series consoles handled mixing duties at both stages, with a Pro 2 running the Mack Avenue Records stage and a Pro 6 at the Carhartt Amphitheater.

“From the moment I walked up to the console and pushed the faders up, I felt instantly comfortable with the Vue system,” commented Claudia Engelhart, who mixed guitarist Bill Frisell’s performance in the Carhartt Amphitheater on the al-8 system.
