BLACK COFFEE AT EGYPTS NEW CAPITAL

The Challenge

Along with the overall brief of delivering the opening event of Cairo New City for 8 thousand people, the principal challenge was to create a sound dispersion system inline with the visuals that were central to this show. The visual screen was 42 m wide and 20m tall in ½ ellipse. Sound had not been considered in the initial design for the show and we were placed with the challenge of needing to place the speakers within the event complex without the structure obstructing the large screen.

The Solution

C3 worked closely with the sound speaker company and video teams to find compromise between both in terms of the design and build of the event. The site was created and built for the event and due to  the continual push and pull between issues of the placement of the screens, speakers and DJ position there was careful consulting and scheduling in place to meet the demands of the various teams that formed this event. C3 ran the site management and consulted on the Health and Safety for the build as the size of the screen, wind factor and anchorage to floor had to be considered which it previously had not been. C3 also designed the audio for the event.
