UK - At London's Notting Hill Carnival Turbosound Aspect loudspeakers and XTA processing saw action on a street corner of London W11 throughout the event.

Jeff Woodford of NBS Audio provided his NineBar Sound System to Pineapple Tribe, whose eclectic mixture of DJ styles - including dub reggae, breakbeat, Techno and drum & bass - makes them a favourite at a wide range of dance-orientated events.

Located on the corner of Ledbury Road and Lonsdale Road, the NineBar Sound System was arrayed as a mono stack comprising eight Turbosound Aspect TA-880H mid-highs on 12 thumping custom-built subs. This delivered the balance of heavy sub-bass and crystal clear mid-highs or, as Woodford says, "A seriously upfront sound."

With an XTA DP448 processor managing the system, it not only delivered quality sound, it was also straightforward to set up.

"We were doing a club event with the system up until 6am on the first day of the Notting Hill Carnival," says Woodford. "So the speed and ease with which we can set up is a real benefit. It really helps that the cabinets are light and, being a point source system, we can align the cabinets by eye. We control the DP448 via AudioCore on a wireless laptop to fine-tune it, so the whole set up only took a couple of hours."
