time mixing on Vero – it is ever ything you want from a PA. As an engineer
mixing a band that is low-end heavy, the Vero system exceeded all my
expectations by miles. Lots of headroom, without compromising sound
quality. I could mix in great detail without having to push the faders too
much.”
The X TA MX36, a DSP-enabled console switching system, also made its
Glasto debut at the Glade. “Using the MX36 was a breeze,” Kris Hayes, Audio
Plus System Tech said. “It made the whole process of console switching
straightforward again. A must-have for any festival drive racks needing
multiple formats. A rack of MC2 E Series were paired with DP448s to handle
monitoring at the Glade, and we were delighted to step in with the DNA120
and the MC2 Delta 120.”
When it came to lighting, Sam Akinwale took care of the DJs and artists
during the day before the main headliners hit the stage using the house
Avolites Arena lighting console. Fatboy Slim rocked the crowd on Fridaynight with Stephen Abbiss behind an Avolites Arena lighting console and
Saturday night Idris Elba put on an incredible performance with Abbiss also
in control Funktion-One speakers were not only featured in the Glade stage
but on several of the stages within the Silver Hayes area of the site.
