UAE National Day 2021, celebrates 50 years since the UAE’s formal nationalisation in 1971. In UAE style, these celebrations were a global spectacle, staged in the Hatta Dam.
All about the UAE National Day sound
The incredible design team from led by Es Devlin came up with the amazing concept. Undeniably, the creativity in this design work is remarkable. The opening show included water displays, light shows, drone-launched fireworks and 5.1 surround sound. Notably, to celebrate the location of the celebrations an immersive audio system of over 950 speakers was installed to exaggerate the space.
We supplied, installed and maintained the audio system designed by Scott Willsallen. Arguably, this is one of our most complex projects to date, and our ten staff worked tirelessly to make this happen.
Loudspeaker System – A four-part system consisting of, personal 5.1 systems, sides, panorama & mountain systems. The near-field and far-field systems enabled spatial listening and depth of field.
Audio Control System – Mirrored DiGiCo SD7Q consoles with a pair of L-ISA processors connected using MADI. Racks and various network devices distributed sound around the vast venue.
