Juan Gomez gig at Zhongshan Park Concert Hall sings with GREEN-GO
May 2024Beijing, China – Colombian singer-songwriter Juan Gomez’s concert at Beijing’s Zhongshan ‘Forbidden’ City Concert Hall has used the ethernet-based GREEN-GO digital solution to improve efficiency.
The Concert Hall is known as the “pearl of music in China’s royal garden” as it is situated inside one of Beijing’s most beautiful parks, Zhongshan Park, and surrounded by historic gardens and landmarks. Its main stage measures 23-metre wide and 14-metres tall, offering more than 1,400 seats on two floors. The venue hosts both international tours, the Beijing International Music Festival and concerts by the China Philharmonic Orchestra and Beijing Symphony Orchestra.
China GREEN-GO dealer and AV expert EZPro was tasked to provide a high-quality intercom system for sound engineers and stage staff for the show. “The technical team had no previous awareness of the GREEN-GO system and what it could achieve, so we demonstrated a range of equipment for them, which we had recommended following their brief,” says Wei HE, GREEN-GO Product Manager at EZPro. “They were impressed with what the GREEN-GO solution could help them realise, offering much improved clarity of communication and a simple-to-use array of kit. The GREEN-GO intercom system has greatly upgraded the efficiency and communication of the technical team.”
Inside the Concert Hall’s main auditorium, the team configured a GREEN-GO Wall Panel X – a wall mount station with direct access to three channels and an integrated speaker and a headset connection – at the FOH position, for use by sound engineers. At this point, a GREEN-GO Beacon call indicator was also rigged, which emits a flashing red signal when receiving a call ensuring the sound engineers can communicate effectively in low-light environments.
Four GREEN-GO Wireless Beltpack X units were used by the stage staff, enabling them to make use of 32 available channels, a program audio channel and an extra channel for direct user communication. This allowed them to talk directly to other stage staff or within multiple groups. In addition, a GREEN-GO Wireless Antenna was located at the rear of the Concert Hall, serving the four Wireless Beltpack X devices.
“The GREEN-GO system is easy to use with great flexibility and so simple to debug, if necessary,” Wei HE continues. “Because it operates without a central matrix, its digital Ethernet-based communications system is renowned for its stability, ease of use and scalability, which is convenient for various performances and activities. When it premiered at the Juan Gomez Concert, it greatly improved the workflow of the technical team.”
