The specification also includes 80 intercom control panels, 24 system interfaces for the integration of digital partylines, 210 digital partyline beltpacks, 44 RiFace radio repeaters/interfaces, 650 Motorola radios, six FM transmitters and a remarkable 12,000 radio receivers.
Riedel Communications’ director marketing and communications, Andreas Hilmer, told II: “We created a fully integrated intercom solution which combines both wired and wireless components to form a seamlessly working system. Since the Artist system allows us to build a distributed matrix consisting of several mainframes connected via fibre, the cabling effort is significantly reduced. As a result, this system offers maximum flexibility and is ready for last-minute changes, which are so common with live event performances such as the upcoming big opening and closing ceremony this installation is going to.”
