Event production specialists Showtime Sound LLC recently supported the debut concert at the new Audi Field in Washington, DC. Featuring Megan Thee Stallion, the event utilized SC-Mercator QUAD 4 x CAT.7 cable from Sommer Cable, a 2025 TEC Award finalist.

Showtime Sound continued their reliance on partners at L-Acoustics, Absen Inc., Tyler Truss Systems, LLC, and Sommer Cable to ensure a smooth event. Marc Chauvin (SSM, MSPM, CTS), Showtime's director of technical operations explains the choice of cabling, "In planning transmission systems for audio, lighting, and video distribution we know that reliability and quality is a must to ensure the high level of productions that we do. No single show for us is more or less important than any other -- that's why we continue to invest and rely on our partnership with Sommer Cable."

After handling many such large-scale events, Sommer Cable has become an integral element at Showtime. "When we build out and integrate our systems," Chauvin continues, "we use Sommer's Mercator CAT7 line for multi-channel ethernet-based snake solutions. Using single, two-channel, and four-channel versions, we seamlessly cover 300+ feet with advanced cabling that not only works for our day-to-day production needs and our touring clients, but also as the backbone for large-scale events like this Megan Thee Stallion concert for all aspects of production."
