Glastonbury festival 2007 Pyramid Sound System |

The following press realese was issued by dick tee of That's Enteetainment
The year off in 2006 gave an ideal opportunity to review audio designs for the Pyramid Stage. Michael Eavis wanted to revisit a point source PA system installation as he felt that better suited the festival than the current almost default use of line array. Of course such decisions could not be made without careful analysis to ensure that performance and environmental criteria would be met. An initial exploration of options was made by Dick Tee, Glastonbury Festival Pyramid Production Manager, and this resulted in Tony Andrews and John Newsham at Funktion One being invited to collaborate with Festival Sound Coordinator Chris Beale of Chris Beale Agencies and Environmental Sound Consultant David Leversedge of Simons Capita to present a design using their Resolution Series Loudspeakers. Funktion One provided comprehensive and detailed modeling to demonstrate that audience sound levels and coverage could be achieved whilst maintaining a margin of safety for offsite noise criteria. Listening tests and performance at recent shows and events has given great confidence that the Resolution system will suit the Pyramid Stage perfectly and it has therefore been selected for the 2007 festival. Chris Beale will serve as Sound Coordinator for the Pyramid Stage and will support Funktion One and Audio Plus as loudspeaker suppliers and RG Jones who will supply the control and monitor systems. |
