For those who want to hear a XL8 through a large PA system, two more will be performing front of house duties for all three stages at the Agora Tent, handling a range of live performances throughout the day and into the night, while the fifth XL8 will be installed in a private VIP room where Midas will host hands-on demos for the duration of the show.
XL8 is the first of a new generation of open-architecture, cross-platform, integrated audio control and distribution systems, which brings control of not only audio, but other aspects of live performance to a single, intuitive control centre. XL8 represents a new generation of networked systems, requiring only mics, amps and speakers to provide a complete audio system. However its open architecture ensures that third-party devices can easily be integrated into the system, says the company.
Klark Teknik will be showing its Square ONE range of accessible, high-performance audio processors which combines the brand's sonic quality with a feature set containing all the essentials; plus Show Command, an integrated system of hardware, software and Ethernet technology, which provides full control of the audio system including equalisation, management and routing, from a choice of user-interfaces.
Also on display will be the Heritage 3000, Verona, Siena and Venice consoles from the Midas analogue range.
