The popular British stand-up humourist Jack Dee also recognised as the “Grumpy Comedian” brought his live show to Dubai. Promoted by Done Events, the comedy night took place at Dubai World Trade Centre on 19th March.

Delta Sound were asked to deliver the PA system for the event. “These types of show are often reinforced by a distributed system, small main PA and multiple delay loudspeakers” says Al Woods who explains, “on this occasion we opted to try a main hang of K2 with a flown side hang of KARA and the amazing L-Acoustics 5XT boxes (8 in total) as front-fills. It’s only one bloke and a SM58 so it`s got to cover everywhere.

“The throw was just under 50m and the K2 nailed it beautifully. The roof in the Trade centre is particularly low especially in Hall 1, so we opted to rig from the upper nodes in the roof. This meant that the PA could be flown to a height where it was easier to create even coverage in the room.

“Jack Dee has a very ad hoc mic technique. Often he holds it below his chest so at times it was tricky to mix but the K2, KARA and 5XT’s held it together really well. It sounded full and very coherent everywhere” closes Al Woods
