AVLEX ON STAGE DURING SANTA-CALI-GON DAYS

Independence, MO… The Santa-Cali-Gon Days Festival, a free, annual event celebrating Independence as the starting point of the three trails—Santa Fe, California, and Oregon—had another successful four-day stint this past Labor Day weekend. Attracting upwards of 250,000 people, this year’s festival featured live music performances distributed across three stages and included appearances by artists Mark Chesnutt, the Bellamy Brothers, and others.

For the Gospel stage, which saw performances by the Jason Watson Band, the Reverend Jimmy Bratcher, and Dewayne Phillips, sound services were provided by Independence-based KVI Productions. The KVI installed SR system included Sound Bridge 3222HT top boxes powered by Avlex PAHS-2460B and PAS-1080B amplifiers on mids and horns respectively, coupled with Sound Bridge 3818SW and Sonic R218 subwoofers powered by Avlex PAHS-3820B amps. For stage monitors, KVI proprietary floor wedges were utilized— driven by Avlex PAHS-2460B amplifiers.

Mixing tasks were handled by a Crest Audio Century GTX 40-channel, 8-bus console. Wireless microphone systems included MIPRO ACT-707D UHF receivers used with MIPRO ACT-707H condenser handheld transmitters as well as MIPRO MR-212 VHF true diversity receivers along with MIPRO MH-202 dynamic handheld transmitters. For in-ear monitoring, MIPRO MI-808 wireless in-ear systems were used.

Cabled microphones included models from the Avlex, Superlux, and MIPRO catalogs. Several Superlux CM-H8A, S241/U3, PRO-258, PRO-218A, and PRA-C5 models were deployed, along with MIPRO MM-707P plus Avlex AVS-21 and CI35 models.

Jerry Keller, owner of KVI Productions, reflected on the festival. “The Santa-Cali-Gon Days are an important event in this region of the country,” notes Keller. “We had some terrific musical performances throughout the four days, and we consistently saw crowds of at least 600-700 people at any given time. The gear performed flawlessly and the people really got into the spirit of things. This festival is a great way to help support numerous community projects.”
