RCF amplifies the Pope's visit to Cuba

The Live and Touring series gives voice voice reinforcement to Pope Francis as he addresses believers packed into the city squares
The Pontiff’s historic trip to Cuba last September was amplified by RCF audio systems.
Pope Francis landed in Cuba on Saturday 19 September in the afternoon. The next morning he celebrated Sunday Mass and the Angelus in Havana’s Revolution Square, in the presence of more than 40,000 people, who were divided into separate zones for security reasons.
The closest area to the stage, set aside for VIPs, politicians and diplomats, was reinforced by eight TTL55-A three-way active line arrays (four per side), plus six TTS36-A high-power subwoofers, in cardioid configuration.
On Sunday afternoon the Pope celebrated Vespers inside the Havana Cathedral. An RCF system comprising eight HDL20-A active line arrays and two 8006-AS high-power subwoofers ensured good SPL and intelligibility to more than 2,000 people gathered in the Cathedral’s square.
On the morning of Monday 21 September the Pontiff flew to Holguín, the third-largest city in Cuba, where he celebrated Holy Mass in Revolution Square, which was filled with around 15,000 people, according to the authorities. The system used to amplify the Pope’s voice in Holguín consisted of 24 units of TTL55-A and TTS36-A, in cardioid configuration.
Back in 2012, during Pope Benedict’s trip to Cuba, the local government had chosen RCF’s TT+ Series to amplify the Mess in Havana’s Revolution Square. Even before that — back in 2010 — the Touring and Theatre products had ensured a homogeneous and powerful coverage to the immense crowd (more than 120,000 people) that had flocked to Brno, in Czech Republic, for the visite of Benedict XVI.
