Scouting for sounds

Published Tuesday 2 December 2008 at 09:55

ADLIB Audio supplied a V-DOSC sound system for Scouting For Girls’ recent UK tour, as specified by the band’s FOH engineer, Andy Williamson.

It was the first time he had toured V-DOSC and his first experience using ADLIB on a full touring show.

Eight V-DOSC elements were used per side, with six of the new L-Acoustics SB28 subwoofers used per side and four ARCS per side ground stacked. Due to the differences in venue sizes, they also carried 24 dV-DOSC and four dVSUBS to act as side hangs. For the arenas, they upped the total V-DOSC count to 24, the ARCS also serving as front fills, together with two dV-DOSC for front lip fills.

The system was driven by the new LA8 amps, which have onboard processing. There was a standard ADLIB control rack at FOH, complete with Lake DLPs run on a wireless tablet system. For additional fine-tuning and time alignment, they also ran a Meyer SIM 3 system. Monitor ‘babysitter’ Declan Fyans oversaw a d&b M2 wedge system onstage, specified by monitor engineer Matt Simmons.
