Midas touch

ADLIB Audio supplied a JBL VerTec sound system and crew for the recent Panic at the Disco UK tour.

ADLIB had previously worked with the band’s FOH and monitor engineers Jason Decter and Paris Lahr on the Plain White T’s tour last year.

As the tour played a variety of small to medium venues, a system was needed that would perform in ground stacked as well as flown formats. The full rig consisted of 20 VerTec 4889 elements - 10 per side, with 16 VT4880A subs.

Dector mixed using a Midas H3000 audio console, with dbx 160 Blue Series valve compressors and dbx 160s, plus Lake DLPs for processing throughout.

For effects, ADLIB supplied an Empirical Labs’ distressor, an Eventide H3000 harmoniser and two Yamaha SPX 990s, the system being powered by Camco Vortex six amplifiers. Onstage, monitors were six pairs of ADLIB’s popular low profile MP3 wedges and an ADLIB drum sub, the band supplying their own microphones. James Neale was joined by Steve Pattison who looked after the

monitor requirements.
