USA - The Lollapalooza Festival in early August was an extraordinary event, offering 130 bands on eight stages over the course of three days in Chicago's lakeside Grant Park. Also living up to the dictionary definition of lollapalooza ("something outstanding of its kind"), according to Dolby, was the Dolby Lake Processor, four of which were deployed by production services company StagePro on the festival's Playstation and AMD stages.

"We love it - it sounds awesome," said Tim Smith, production manager for StagePro, of the Dolby Lake Processor. The company purchased the four units two months ago. "The ability to make changes from multiple locations around the venue, as well as the intuitive control software made tuning the rigs a joy. There were many compliments from both band engineers and patrons. For where we were at with our audio systems, which are based around JBL Vertec 4889 speakers, the Dolby Lake was the perfect choice."

The Kansas-based full production services and mobile staging company used two tablets computers for wireless control of the Dolby Lake Processors. The Playstation and AMD stages hosted a dozen bands each day: StagePro supplied its APEX hydraulic mobile stages, manufactured by sister company StagePro Mobile Stages LLC, in addition to providing complete sound and lighting services at each of the locations.
