With just a single stack per side, comprising a VQ NET 60 cabinet above an accompanying VS218 DR subwoofer, the aesthetic impact on the visual projection space of the Igloo interior was minimal.
Tannoy's Tim Gray comments: "I was worried that just two subs and two VQ NET 60 tops for 1400 people would be cutting it fine, but it did the business. The best thing about the system though, was getting more familiar with the subs.This new twin 18" design clearly sets a new performance standard for Tannoy subwoofers and it's just awesome for sub-bass."
The new VQ series was designed for any application where precise directional control, outstanding sonic performance, and high SPL's are critical issues; and the Igloo dome demanded just that, as Igloo Vision's Colin Yellowley explained, "Due to the nature of Glastonbury's restrictions on what we could use for a sound system we found ourselves in a tough position. The old Igloo rig was a cumbersome 10K Das system which Glastonbury would not allow us to use based on the power consumption. Tannoy's VQ system allowed us to provide amazing clarity of sound at a high impact level that left DJs clamouring to use the system. "
