APR Audio Makes Glastonbury Festival Debut
APR Audio has made a successful debut at the 2005 Glastonbury Festival, using some of its huge inventory of Electro-Voice X-Line to provide audio production services for the Jazz World stage.
Generally accepted to be the most musical stage in the Glastonbury line-up, the Jazz World stage this year hosted Roy Ayers, Roots Manuva, The Wailers, Taj Mahal, Femi Kuti, and the Levellers amongst others, attracting crowds of up to 30,000 for the biggest shows.
Under the supervision of Pete Russell, APR Audio provided left and right Electro-Voice X-Line hangs, each featuring 14x Xvls and two Xvlt cabinets, and using 32 matched X-subs, with eight XI 1152s for fill. Control was provided by way of Midas Heritage 3000 consoles on stage and at front-of-house, with KT Helix EQ with DN370s. All power was delivered by Precision Series P3000RL amplifiers, managed by the latest v2. IRIS control software which allows up to 250 amplifiers to be remotely controlled and supervised.
APR is particularly proud of a king-size monitoring system, supervised by engineer Laurie Brace, which included 16x XW15A wedges, and 9ft tall sidefill stacks comprising Xb and Xn cabinets with Xds low-end, all boxes from the X-Array line of concert touring systems. “We took extra care when speccing the monitor system,” explains Laurie Brace, APR. “We worked on the principle that we could always take it away if the artist didn't need it.” But most people found that they did, and that they loved it – and Laurie was offered a number of tours as a result!
