Promoting their latest album Forevermore, the six-piece played dates in Osaka, Okayama, Miyuzaki, Nagoys and two in Tokyo. Four Apex Intelli-X2 processors were supplied by Apex's Japanese distributor Audiobrains to sound rental company MSI Japan, a fellow member of the MSI Japan Holdings group.
"The shows used Martin Audio's MLA system as the main house PA, together with MLX subs and W8LM cabinets for fills," says Yusuke Karato of Audiobrains. "We controlled the system using two laptops, one for the MLA and the other for the rest of the system."
The Intelli-X2 processors were used as system crossovers and for signal processing, set up with the main L/R signals coming into inputs A and B, with Outputs 1 and 2 going to the MLA, 3 and 4 for the subs and 5 and 6 for the W8LMs.
"The Intelli-X2 processors sound fantastic," says Yusuke. "We also used them to measure the rooms using Wave Capture, which meant that we didn't have to use a third laptop."
