Norway’s ‘Skifestivalen’ with the DYNACORD Cobra

Ski / Straubing, December 2008 The small Norwegian town of Ski provides an idyllic setting for the so-called ‘Skifestivalen’, an annual open air music festival held in fall in the town centre. The festival features acts from a wide variety of genres—from rock to hillbilly, from blues to folk. This year, the technical side of the production was the responsibility of rental company MultiTechnic, ably supported by technicians and engineers from the local theatre, the Rådhusteateret, the centrepiece of whose sound reinforcement concept was an extensive Cobra system from DYNACORD (details below).
Hans Erikstad of the Rådhusteateret was in no doubt that they had made the right choice: “The Cobra delivered a transparent, clear and warm sound—but with the requisite capacity to project. It made it possible for us to provide homogeneous coverage throughout the entire square. What also pleased us no end was the unproblematic handling of the system.”

About the “Skifestivalen”
The “Skifestivalen” takes its name from the small town near Oslo where the event is held. The picturesque village square is transformed for two days each year into an open-air concert hall. The festival features a wide variety of musical genres: this year, for example, high-calibre international acts such as “Powersection” and the rockabilly group “Steven Ackles and the Memphis News” took centre stage and the atmosphere was excellent.
