The concerts during the festival took place at various outdoor venues, including the town square, where the front of house position was in a control room constructed above the performance area. As 800 temporary seats for the public had already been installed in the town square, access for the 56-channel console into the control room was restricted. Heads were put together, and it was decided that the easiest way of delivering the console was through the rear window of the control room.
The remainder of the equipment, which included a Midas XL250 for monitors, was delivered to the square in a more conventional fashion. The annual Festival International des Pyrénées celebrates the relationship between France and Spain, and features a programme of world and folk music and dance performances.
