Dora Showtechnik deploys XTA MX36 console switcher at Oktoberfest in Munich

The largest folk festival in the world, the 189th edition of the Oktoberfest, took place recently on the Theresienwiese in Munich. Across the event’s sixteen day duration, more than six million guests visited the site. Germering-based event production specialists Dora Showtechnik handled the audio for the festival’s Paulaner Festzelt venue - where two bands alternate throughout the day - and this year deployed the XTA MX36 console switcher to simplify their workflow.

Dominik Hähnel of distributor S.E.A. Vertrieb & Consulting GmbH had drawn Dora Showtechnik’s attention to the MX36: “Dora Showtechnik is a longtime customer of ours and during a conversation with their team about making elements of live projects more efficient, it quickly became clear that the MX36 could make a significant difference to their workflow for this and many other projects”, he says.

“At this year’s festival, for the first time, the bands in the Paulaner Festzelt tent used their own mixing consoles, enabling each front of house engineer a separate direct connection to the PA and the comfort of using a familiar mixing setup”, continues Hähnel. “The MX36 also allowed them to connect other essential signals to the PA, including evacuation microphones and media players.”
