Electrikal/Danley linkup at Boomtown Thurs eve....

I'll accept that excuse, given what I did myself the rest of the weekend

As much as I would love to say yes to that, said engineer had probably partaken a little too much! Although if it was J1, J2, or J5 it would be a different story.

Subs were definitely on, running the custom Electrikal processing I setup for them with their custom ES18 version a good while back – some overlap but phase aligned throughout.

ES18 had an 18dB BW LPF in the mid-70s, where the Jericho took over right through to 20kHz. Their custom Faital reflex boxes handled the very front row but were running about -20dB from their normal level. All run from DSP Powersofts, K20s and X4s, with a Danley OEM Linea Research ASC48 handling the linear phase Jericho preset in front for those boxes only.

Overall we only put a small dip at 2.6kHz from factory preset in the Jericho, and a rising shelf from 100Hz down of around 2dB. Was pretty happy as it was, although yes they do beg to be flown 4m or more to get an even coverage front to back; if you didn't catch the Sunday setup in Mayfair then be glad cos the people at the front there got a reet pasting due to time constraints (don't ask!) and the slightly more savage incline of that hill limiting our elevation options.

Either way, two Jericho pretty easily covered 32x 18" drivers… and we had stupid amounts of interest and positive feedback.

Lighting was nowt to do with us, but there were 'issues' with site overall being delayed massively with mud and so on, hence the somewhat slap dash console approach. In all honesty I think their programming on the bridge took a big back seat to everything else, given it was left in a looping preset the rest of the weekend!

Was great fun overall especially since the sun made an appearance, big ups to the Rince and all Scotland crew for getting me down and slogging through some of the more troublesome parts of production. Likewise to all the regular Boomtown peeps, still a highlight of my festival season cos of the sheer number of friends across the site.

Those Electrikal midtops look like clock-radios next to the Jericho horns.

Yep, four days behind overall by the time doors had to open. That queue business was necessity just to get mulch down to make site traversable.

Nice set up how did you lift the Darnley's so high up what equipment/man power did you use

Nah mate, we got on each others shoulders and hup ho!

As for applications, there are micro venues all around site - it isn't the rig they're booking, it's the micro venue concept as a whole. Come up with a good one that fits in with a district's theme and you have a good chance.
