Matthew Manasse, Rufus Wainwright's FOH sound engineer commented: "The Y-10 provides such pure audio that I can forget about the loudspeakers and just listen to what the musicians are doing. I am no longer listening to a PA system; I'm mixing a band and finding it possible to concentrate on the music, confident that the majority of the audience will hear exactly what I hear. We achieved excellent coverage and a consistent SPL in a wide variety of venues around the UK. After nearly every show people came up to me giving congratulations for a great sounding show."
Concert Sound chose to use 20 Y-10s and eight SpekTrix as the main PA for all stops of the tour. Lab.gruppen amps provided the power, and XTA DP428 units smoothly processed the sound. Andrew Davies, hire manager for Concert Sound says: "It's not only the outstanding technology and good image, which come along with the Adamson Y-Axis and the SpekTrix systems that convinced us to take this important step for the company; but it's really refreshing to experience how the entire Adamson Europe - DV2 team is supporting us on every detail."
Andy Weingaertner, European sales manager for Adamson Europe - DV2, says. "With Concert Sound being one of the most established rental companies in the UK, having them on board as our new UK partner is a real privilege. We know that Concert Sound is very well known for their outstanding technical competence and their high end, quality productions. Therefore we're looking forward to great collaborations in the future."
