The Lower Bavarian city of Straubing recently had every reason to celebrate: its
picturesque tower – the town’s visual flagship – celebrated its 700th anniversary.
The round birthday was honoured with a large festival. Joining the celebrations was
Adam Hall Group’s newest brand of stands, Gravity®. Exclusively deployed on two
of the four stages, Gravity® stands have won the internationally-recognized Red
Dot and IF Design awards, while being recently nominated for the German Design
Award.
Michael Wittenzellner, head of the rental company StereoMike and responsible for
the production: “The event in Straubing was my Gravity® premiere. And I must
say: the optically outstanding stands also fully convinced me in terms of handling
and stability. They did a great job – which is why I also relied on them for the
Bluetone festival.’
The StereoMike team was responsible for the sound reinforcement and equipment
of the large and prominent “Goidhaibal’ and “Karmeliten’ stages on the Theresien-
and Ludwigplatz. The musical guests included amongst others Bernie & The Magic
Tones, TOPSIS, Kulticz and the Presley Family. Additionally, the grand opening of
the city festival took place on the “Goidhaibal’ stage.
“The musicians’ feedback on the Gravity® stands was great,’ says Wittenzellner.
“Several musicians commented on the pleasant feel and the cool design. They also
appreciated the interchangeable colour-rings.’
With the interchangeable colour-ring concept, the Gravity® stands can be
personalised. In Straubing, the stage crew assigned a certain colour to the vocal
microphones and a different one for the drum stands. “A small detail,’ says
Wittenzellner, “which however has a large effect in a sound engineer’s day-to-day
business.’
