Audio variety is our forte.

Lovely to catch up with old friends at FLY Open Air last week for a trip back in time to a 1992 Warehouse party.

Fortunatly the PA was not from 1992 and we had Danley Sound Labs J3-94 flown mains, with BC415 subs flown behind them to get better sub coverage throught the room.
WIth SH95HO as front fill and 8x BC215s taking care of sub business on the floor, the room was cavernous so 4x SH46 as delays up the room keept the volume even throught the dancefloor.
With the crowd also behind the DJ we took care of that with more flown Sh46 and the DJ monitors were SH46 and Th118XLs.

All procesed through one of our Outline Professional Audio Newton racks and control was an ALLEN & HEATH S7000.

Lovely to catch up with the Watchtower Events team, KSG Acoustics, Blair Martin as PM and plenty old friends on lights and video and our very own Chris Kane on PA design and deployment.

If you have a tricky space needing a clever deployment, we can help.

One of our Outline Newton racks getting spring-cleaned and some new lights for the upcoming festival season.

This is what our chief engineer Martijn had to say about it on their website - "Because we are using a lot of different point source speakers in different configurations, we need the best filters available to perfectly time and phase align all of them – Newton opened that door for us, and we never looked back. With its modern, intuitive GUI it is also easy to use for less experienced sound engineers. After personally using Lake System processing for 10+ years, the Newton really changed my way of running PA systems.”
