EV Sub Bass Extravaganza for Korn
American hard-core metal rock band Korn played a sell-out gig at the London Apollo using an unprecedented EV X-Line system which utilised a 1:1 ratio of line-array cabinets to subwoofers.
The system was designed by Chris Marsh of Major Tom, who described it as "phenomenal! Korn is predominantly about strong low end frequencies, so they used every bit of the energy in the subs, but this was the first time I'd put together a system like this. It was incredibly loud." With 10 x EV Xvls high-output cabinets per side, and 10 x X-subs a side, Marsh admitted that he was glad that Korn had their own sound engineer to mix the show. "That kind of level hurts."
Major Tom has also been using X-Line at the Belfast Odyssey Arena, where the annual indoor festival is being headlined by the legendary Bob Dylan. Marsh has set up a very different system, using 8 x Xvls and 2 x Xvlts a side and only 14 x subs distributed left, right and centre. The side hangs each consist of 4 x Xvls and 2 Xvlts, and there are a number of EV 1152s for infills, outfills and side fills.
