Syntonic Staff Engineer Donnie Smith chose the D5 based on his previous experience—and success—using it on other symphonic events, and the console’s ability to handle the large input requirements and dynamic musical range
The house system included 12 Martin Audio W8LC line array modules per side and 12 Martin WSX folded horn subwoofers per side on the deck, with Martin components for sidefill and stage monitoring as well
“Everything functioned flawlessly. Our input lists were all Shure from snare mics to vocals. We had a number of options available for each act, which worked out nicely for our performers, who all were longtime Shure users for the most part.” – Sound Engineer Raphael Alkins
This year’s show placing an emphasis on heavy metal acts, with performers including Motorhead, Nervecell, Arch Enemy, Opeth, Chimaira and August Burns Red
Most of the systems have to endure -4 degrees F temperatures and the festival park’s outdoor public address system has to still function at -31 degrees
