Antony King, (L) FOH engineer, and Leon Dalton, systems engineer from Britannia Row.
UK - Pop-rock star Daniel Bedingfield is using Britannia Row's ElectroVoice XLC compact line array system for his UK tour. Playing a variety of venues on this 16-date tour, Bedingfield's front-of-house engineer Antony King is using XLC for the first time as a main system. He commented: "For a compact box, it puts out a lot of sound. Bedingfield likes a loud stage, which means the show is loud; we're pushing the EV system every night, and it's coping with that very well."

Having recently used the XLC system at the MTV Europe Awards, Brit Row system engineer Leon Dalton has rigged 12 XLC127+ per side, with four X-Line subs and two 1152i infill cabinets each side. The system is driven by Klark-Teknik DN9848 loudspeaker processors, and powered by 24 ElectroVoice P3000 amplifiers. King is mixing the show from a Yamaha PM1D. He continued: "We've taken this show into clubs, to theatres with up to three balcony tiers, and to small arenas, and XLC has coped very well with the different environments."

Paul Barretta of Shuttlesound, ElectroVoice's UK distributor, confirmed: "XLC is being used more and more as a system in its own right, as well as supporting X-Line. We're delighted to see this because, although the two systems marry up very well, XLC deserves its independence: it offers incredible coverage and SPL levels for a compact system, as well as audio quality that you'd expect from EV."
