JBL’s VerTec line array system added power and style to the Miss Moneypenny’s area of the VIP tent at the Ministry of Sound’s mega dance festival - Knebworth 01. The VerTec system was specified by Ministry of Sound production manager Dave Bradshaw and the 12 cabinets were supplied by Liverpool-based Ad Lib Audio.

DJs performing at Moneypenny’s on the night included Jim Shaft Ryan, Anton Debiage, Steve Coogan, Steve Miller and Nic Gillet - joined by thousands of enthusiastic clubbers. Ad Lib also used a dbx Drive Rack speaker management system to control the VerTec rig at Knebworth: they are currently the largest stockist of Drive Rack in the UK. Additionally, there were also two bars in the VIP enclosure, one of which was sponsored by The Blue Zone and also featured a JBL sound system. JBL and The Ministry go back nearly a decade as technical partners. The famous flagship venue in south London has used a JBL sound system for some time, and very recently, a new JBL monitor system was installed in the main room - The Box - featuring Digital Theatre Sound (DTS). JBL is present in all the Ministry’s venues including the Bahia Hotel in Ibiza, and they also specify JBL for their hectic touring and events schedule.
