Adlib supplied their most experienced V-DOSC systems engineers - Tony Szabo and James Neale, plus monitor guru Marc Peers who looked after everything onstage.
The spec comprised 12 V-DOSC elements and 3 dV-DOSC under-hangs per side for the main arrays with four V-DOSC left and right for the side- hangs, complete with six dV under-hangs per side. Ground-stacked were 16 of the new V-DOSC SB28 Subs, eight per side.
For in-fills they used two L-Acoustics ARCS cabinets per side, and four dV-DOSC fills were positioned along the front lip of the stage.
The whole system was run off the new LA8 amplifiers which have inbuilt remote control software and DSPs, plus a small footprint, taking up about half the space of their predecessors.
System processing and distribution was achieved using Lake DSPs. Also at FOH Szabo utilized his SIM3 system for time alignment and system EQ.
At FOH, Jim Ebdon specified a DiGiCo D5 console and a small assortment of high end effects and compressors (Lexicon 960, dbx 160SL, TC Finaliser).In monitor world, Adlib supplied a Digidesign Venue console for engineer Chris Sharp, and the band brought their own Sennheiser G2 IEM system.
