As in previous years, a team of sound specialists led by Ingo Haasch was responsible for the production. The centrepiece of the sound reinforcement design for 2008 was an Electro-Voice XLC 127DVX line-array system, with Electro-Voice TG-7 power amplifiers (equipped with RCM 26 modules) providing the power, and a Midas XL8 console.
Haasch commented: "With many sound engineers still unfamiliar with the XL8, the choice was greeted with some scepticism initially, but effusive approval thereafter. We all agreed that the sound this year was even better than last year."
