Electro-Voice X-Line Advance celebrates UK premiere at British Grand Prix

The Formula One British Grand Prix welcomed a record crowd of over 140,000 fans to the Silverstone racetrack on July 5th, 2015. Along with the triumph of Lewis Hamilton, the attendees also witnessed the UK premiere of the new Electro-Voice X-Line Advance line-array loudspeaker system.

Neal Allen of Merlin PA opted for a total of 30 X2 line-array elements to each side of the stage, with 18 X12-128 subs ensuring high-output capability in the low frequencies. “The subs are designed to acoustically match the X2 top cabinets,” comments Allen. 12 XLE181 compact line-array elements complemented the X2 speakers for far stage left and serviced the interactive entertainment village. 36 TG-7 power amplifiers drove the main system; Xw15A wedges ensured foldback on stage.

Allen and his team connected the system to three Electro-Voice NetMax N8000 digital matrices via an Omneo network. “Using a Dante backbone and NetMax digital input cards, we integrated all FOH consoles into the system. This way we didn’t have to convert the signals from analogue to digital and back several times, but remained entirely on the digital level.”
