As part of the live set up they used a pair of HK Audio CT115 Contour Series monitors which had been biamped off two channels of a Lab.gruppen fp+10000QSP and channel 1 of a HK Audio DSM2060 speaker management processor.
Taking the drum seat for the tour is noted session drummer Karl Brazil, whose previous tub-thumping exploits have seen him work with the likes of Robbie Williams, Take That, James Blunt, Elton John and Leona Lewis. He chose to use HK Audio monitors from the Contour Series (a pair of CT118 subs and a pair of CT115 speakers).
"Karl is a very musical and dynamic player," says monitor engineer Dan Trowhill. "It has been difficult for us on previous shows as the drum-fills provided haven't delivered a satisfactory performance - they just didn't respond well to his technique. It's been brilliant since using the HK Audio and Lab system as it is capable of delivering the subtle detail of the quiet moments without loosing the mega volume, cut and clarity required for the heavier parts."
