VENUE 077
The Street Party is one of a series of events that take place throughout the week
featured Clay Paky, High End, Martin Pro, ETC, James Thomas, Pul- sar, Studio Due, Avolites, and Green Hippo, with effects from JEM. Anyone familiar with Audile, from its work at Manchester’s Warehouse Project, Camp Bestival and at previous Snowbombings, will know of its use of Funktion One systems over the years. Nothing has changed in that respect, but a combination of circumstance and experimenta- tion turned the company’s attentions to d&b audiotechnik’s J-Series line array. Audile’s Rob Ashworth said: “When it came to Snowbomb- ing, we’d planned to use Funktion One again in the Racket Club, but this year it transpired that Snowbombing clashed with the Warehouse Project back in Manchester, meaning a sizeable chunk of our Funktion One inventory was committed back home. So we took the opportunity to give the J-series a try in a different environment to Camp Bestival, indoors rather than out, ground-stacked rather than flown, and with
heavyweight DJ performances alongside the bands. “For a couple of years now we’ve been increasingly experiencing market pressure to add a line array system to our hire inventory, specifically to provide for live events. While we’ve enjoyed great suc- cess with the Funktion One system over the past nine years - in live applications like the main stage of Camp Bestival as well as the dance events that Funktion One tends to be associated with - it has, of course, become practically de-facto for live events to be serviced with line arrays in recent years.”
The Racket Club - the largest of the venues, and host of the main live performances - provided the setting for Rob to testdrive the system. It comprised eight d&b J-8 mid/hi speakers, four J-12s, 12 J-Subs, with four D12 amp racks and processing via an XTA GQ-600. Acts were mixed on a Midas Heritage-3000 console, with an insert/FX
