The Loudest Band in the World | |
They call themselves "The Loudest Band in the World", and claim to hold the Guinness World Record for 129dB on-stage heavy metal. Reinforced exclusively by NEXO, American band Manowar has recently completed an ear-splitting tour of Europe, playing 35 shows in 11 countries to audiences of up to 8000 people.
The sound was provided by leading German PA company Ultraschall, a 36-stack NEXO Alpha system with 24x CAMCO Vortex 6 digital amplifiers, and FOH-mixed by Manowar engineer Jeff Hair, using a Yamaha PM4K. "Manowar is one of the biggest US acts to be serviced by a German sound company this year," explains Ultraschall's sound designer Jesko Purmann. "This tour has been a great success for us. Manowar frontman Joey DeMaio has commended our crew, particularly PA Tech. Michael “Miwe” Wengerter and Monitor Tech. Ingo Thürauf, for their work, and Jeff Hair has been really impressed by the powerful, precise and clear sound of the Alpha rig." | |
