The Nordic Music Awards took place after the Eurovision Gala, where Nordic Rentals had a sound system already set up at the Copenhagen Forum. It required only minor adjustments from the Eurovision set-up since the event had a similar format. Both were live, televised events with speeches, music and elaborate visuals. The main live reinforcement consisted of eight Y18s per side with six SpekTrix and two SpekTrix Wave's as down-fills. Elsborg used EV XLC's as delay clusters. Nordic Rentals supplied the entire technical production, which featured Coldplay, Shakira and Robbie Williams.
For Duran Duran, Nordic Rentals used 16 Y 18's, with a 16 SpekTrix under-hang. Snake Newton, FOH engineer for Duran Duran, joked: "I could kill myself with this system!" adding: "it's got everything that I miss in the best of the all the other rigs."
