Several thousand students gathered at the large open area on the sprawling campus of Valencia's Polytechnic University. Live performances were offered by bands including Berri Txarrak, Aramateix, and Rapsodes, the winners of Valencian music competition Amplifica't. Over four hours of music with amazingly different styles provided a truly enjoyable evening.
The PA system comprised 20 D.A.S. Aero 38A powered modules, arranged in two 10-unit line formations at each side of the stage, along with 16 D.A.S. Aero 218A 2K powered subwoofer units aligned along the bottom of the stage placed approximately one meter from each other.
Completing the setup, two Aero 28A units were used as a front-fill for the first rows in the audience. A further cluster - made up of three Aero 28A powered systems plus two CA-215A subwoofer units - was placed at each side of the stage as a side-fill for the different acts.
Simes Audio's David Ferri reports: "During the sound testing for each of the bands we could see the consistent response and high versatility of the Aero systems for different musical styles. A variety of acts, each with their own technical staff, different requirements based on their specific needs, and the systems always responded effectively, which greatly eases the job of sound engineers."
