Get It In Writing

JOHANNESBURG – Soccer fans watched screens set up at four official FIFA Fan Fest venues in South Africa and heard the World Cup action via EAW speaker systems provided by Surgesound, EAW's South African distributor.
The systems consisted of 48
KF760 and 12 KF761 line array modules, including a complement of 48 SB1000z
subs, with 48 KF730 compact line array modules and 48 SB730 subs providing
in-fill.

Monitoring was performed with
EAW SM12 units, and 24 UX8800 Digital Signal Processor units provided
processing.

Surgesound recently delivered
a large complement of EAW speakers to Johannesburg-based The Sound Corporation
in time for the installation to take place before the World Cup kickoff.

The Sound Corporation
installed EAW speaker systems at Soweto (Johannesburg), Rustenburg,
Bloemfontein and Nelspruit. The company was the only production company to be
awarded more than two official FIFA Fan Fest sites out of the total of nine fan
parks across South Africa.

According to official FIFA
attendance figures, 300,000 fans gathered at the country's Fan Fest venues,
including 75,000 just at the Soweto Johannesburg location, for the month-long
competition's opening match between South Africa and Mexico.

The Sound Corporation
has been a great client for many years and currently has the biggest EAW system
in Africa, said Andrew Rowan, founder of Surgesound. The Sound
Corporation recently added 60 EAW KF760 large-format line array speakers and 48
EAW SB1000z subwoofers to its inventory.

Surgesound also supplied
amplifiers from Lab.gruppen, with whom EAW recently announced a strategic
partnership, to power the EAW speaker systems at the four fan zones.

We are extremely proud
that a production house of The Sound Corporation's caliber can trust EAW and
Lab.gruppen products with their high-profile gigs, Rowan said.
