(it's taken me half a hour of racking my brain to remember this! i was determined not to look it up). You have the name right, but not the tech, but I'll give it to you if you can tell me what happened to stop them coming back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They used point based arrays rather than line based. On the Saturday, they were a little unlucky with the weather conditions, as a large band of cloud reflected The Killers set for miles, meaning that they had to turn it way way down to stop the festival going over the off site db levels. The other bit of bad luck was Iggy Pop turning it right up on Other at the same time. This led to Michael canning them off, saying the festival needed "something stronger" (or words to that effect), which worked out well in the end because Martin Audio later developed a system that was very good as cutting off the sound outside the arena, which I'm sure would have coped much better with the "unique atmospheric conditions" of 2007. https://www.funktion-one.com/dl/files/365.pdf So, over to you @gizmoman Edited April 4, 2020 by stuartbert two hats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizmoman Posted April 4, 2020 Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 O.K. here's my question then, when Yes played the festival in 2003, what was the name of the stage they appeared on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuartbert two hats Posted April 4, 2020 Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 To clarify, I think the festival did go over the limit, but they got sacked off for being too quiet, rather than being too loud. What you really want is a system that can be loud in the arena, but quiet outside - which is what they've had since 2014. It's relatively easy to make it loud - just add more watts and speakers, but tackling overspill is the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
