"They are a great bunch of lads," remarks Capital's Paul Timmins, who also serves as Kasabian's production manager. "They are having an absolutely meteoric rise at the moment, and it's great to be able to give them such a fantastic sound system."
The system design was anchored by main left and right arrays of 16 MILO cabinets each: 14 MILOs covering the long throw and mid-floor and two MILO 120 extended coverage high-power curvilinear array units splayed underneath providing downfill for the near field. Two side hangs comprising six MICA compact high-power curvilinear array loudspeakers each covered the stage-side seats, marking one of the first UK uses of this brand new product.
"MICA is doing exactly what we wanted it to do," remarks Timmins. "It's a great sounding box that works superbly with MILO, but it also gives us an entrée into theatres. We're using it in September for another tour by a band called Bloc Party."
Rounding out the system were eight ground-stacked 700-HP ultrahigh-power subwoofers per side, and a total of eight M1D ultra-compact curvilinear array loudspeakers used individually along the stage lip for front-fill.
