Shaping up in Scotland

Published Monday 21 July 2008 at 18:30

ADLIB Audio supplied the sound for two stages at the T In the Park 2008 festival, staged at Kinross, Scotland - the King Tuts Wah Wah Stage and Slam Stage.

The Slam Stage, a V-shaped dance-orientated tent had a capacity of 20,000 and its shape and scale presented interesting challenges for ADLIB’s crew chief Hassane Essiahi and his team which worked closely with sound engineer Dave Pringle.

The 40 metre wide stage - with DJ platform in front - was located at the middle point of the V, leaving large sections towards the edges of the tent needing to be covered. This was achieved with the installation of two delay stacks per side. They chose to use a JBL VerTec system, all ground stacked, with the main stage stacks containing 6 VT4889 elements a side, augmented with two x 4889 per side at the edges of the stage, plus AA FD2 infills along the stage lip. For subs, there were eight VT 4880As per side. The FOH console was a Soundcraft Series 5.
