That would be my lot and our Glasgow pals at A-Live. 12 stages including the little ones. Over 20 separate products too including the new studio monitors and a DTS10 proper theatre sub in the Love Dancin hifi tent. Jerichos on the bigger stages including one J3-94 a side on the main stage with a single SH96HO at 60m for delay and six BC subs. 8x 18s and 8x15s on bass with 106dBA slow and plenty of sub even for Mala’s orchestra show at FOH 52m back. Honestly we’re still blown away at the feedback from all corners. Noise police absolutely loved it, touring engineers had loads of fun, people who came just to see what the fuss is about sought us out to chat in detail about all sorts of things, and we had compliments from random punters at stages and online after. Even Gilles gave us a proper shout at before the incredible final act of The Comet Is Coming. I saw Ford mention something about Glastonbury too in another thread before we set off. I’m just catching up on life but I’ll try and do a bit more of a post about what was on each stage and why. |

I was there, sounded lovely! More than enough low end for Mala at the front, was absolutely immense, super clean controlled bass

Incubus at the Void, with some Nexus XL. No far field Arcline this year due to budget. That’s it from us. I think DAS or EV line array on most others. |

Did the absolute most we could without it being ridiculous. We only have two crew this year, and one of us has to be stage manager as well... Would have loved to have Danley there but no dice sadly. |

Cheers pal. We collaborated with our original big buyer Mackie at A-Live to do this one, our J3s went up on main stage with Martijn from A-Live doing the overall design and setup there. I handled design and tuning on the majority of the other stages. My main buzz personally is the feedback from Chris at SPLtrack, that’s all him and he has no horse in this race except making his and his clients’ lives easier. It was a big ask to do a full site with so many different bits of kit just a few years into having the big D in the UK but we’re all proud of the result. There’s a feature in TPi too  |

The Void rig was probably the best at Outlook imo , a bit shy on the tops in the back of the crowd but still great and fully enjoyable. Sinai comes second offcourse, expected the scoops to play a bit lower with greater authority but when it hits you 40hz up i think the disparity and difference in the spl makes the lower <38hz notes seem lackluster. First time i experienced my lips shaking out of control  Moat classic. The garden tops get a honorable mention everything else  That was my outlook review in an unrelated thread heheh

| Old thread resurrection but @toastyghost can we expect a similar set up this weekend for We Out Here? Not had a chance to hear any Danley yet so hoping this will be the chance to do so! |

Danley on everything apart from the tiny incidentals. Some Paraflex stuff on Lemon Lounge too. I’ve gone a bit hog wild on a few sub arrays. Some fine tuning on one left but quite proud of the forest setup. You’ve got a pair of J3-94 with six BC145 on main stage 😅 There’s also a pair of the unreleased Hyperion hifi towers on site. Ruler flat phase and magnitude from 15 Hz to 24 kHz with <20 ms latency… |

Four points of asymmetrical 96HO with some SM80M as rear fill in there. The sub array is a hybrid gradient end-fire arc with a level taper window that also adjusts the limiter curves to prevent pattern collapse. It’s all run from Powersoft X8, one box per channel. Rhythm Corner has a variation of that, ten TH118XL in spaced array with a shift more toward end-fire. That stage has a one button transition that improves rear rejection by 15 dB at the expense of transient impact out front, just in case there are any short term noise issues. J3-94 mains and SH95 on front fill.  Woodland has a prototype BC218RH flanked by a pair of TH118XL for a digital delta array. J7-95 in there. Main stage is J3-94 with 96HO down fill, and Genesis horn delay tower. Six BC415 with SH46 and SH95HO front fill. Lush Life is J7-95 over six DBH218. Love Dancin’ has a Mancuso-inspired five point Hyperion and SM60F / TH118XL system, all the hifi noodles up front you could ever want, and the option of three monitoring systems including the Danley Studio 2.  There’s various other bits on site - SM100, SM100F, SM100B, Sharc Fin, SBH10 over TH412, SM80 in a 360 degree array for a band stand… I’ve lost count

Highly impressed with all stages, main stage was very hifi sounding and from all areas of the crowd the sound was very detailed, much more consistent coverage than pretty much every line array I have heard. Rhythm Corner was the heaviest sounding I heard all weekend but every time I walked up to the stage I was convinced it was very quiet until I was in the crowd, so the end fire array was doing a good job of controlling spill behind the subs and I assume on stage. I didn't hear the Woodland stage particularly cranked but again was a pleasant and clean sound. Main take away for me was that the Danley tapped horns sound great and even the singles/pairs that were dotted around sounded great and surprisingly low/loud. And of course the coverage to size ratio of the J/SH tops. The paraflex system in the Lemon Lounge sounded good too. 4X stacks of 2x paraflex subs, double 10 inch kicks, what looked to be ASS MT502's on top all facing inwards in a circular tent that was rarely not packed. The only complaint was that Channel One and Irration played in a roller disco style stage and despite the maybe 6 TH118 (I think, can't quite remember the setup?) it was pretty quiet with minimal bass, but I am sure that was due to noise restrictions as it was fairly close to the mainstage. So a dusty scoop system out the way somewhere on site would have been the cherry on a what was otherwise probably the best sound I have heard at a UK festival. |

Thanks for the kind words, and sorry for not replying sooner! I've had this tab open somewhere in the midst of many browser windows over multiple machines, meaning to write something, but real life keeps getting in the bloody way. The roller disco was actually listed on the pre-show brief as 'maybe needs a small PA, just some DJs'. When we got on site, and saw the size of the tent and the running order, there was a bit of a scramble to shuffle kit around and get something half decent in there. Wasn't the only one! Considering what they pulled off at such short notice of being able to go ahead, it's understandable. Unfortunately there were several little bumps in the road like that, so I didn't get much time to roam and enjoy myself during the show. There are some things I'd have changed in hindsight, but given the circumstances I think it was a pretty stand up job. The Lemon Lounge lot got away with murder too - even though all of Paraflex don't really go low for their size, the harmonics are so strong that they feel much heavier in tone than they really are. The entire site's PA was packed into trucks and on the road by early afternoon Monday, with only a handful of crew. One of the best things about using Danley
You tell me...  Verified on site, with <30 ms round trip latency from the FIR (from memory, don't hold me to that as it was a LONG week with LOTS of traces) |

I’m not there this time around, but I presume it’s much the same for most of the site. There might be d&b for some of the smaller stages where bits will have been sub-hired in. We’re all just too busy this season. |
