Standon Calling 2019 was the biggest yet, welcoming a record 15,000 people
UK - Showcasing the latest and greatest music, Hertfordshire festival Standon Calling was the biggest yet, welcoming a record 15,000 people.
This year’s headliners across the three-day July festival included Nile Rodgers & CHIC, and Rag’n’Bone Man. Other acts included Friendly Fires, Echo & The Bunnymen, Róisín Murphy, IDLES, Lewis Capaldi, Mahalia, Kate Nash, The Big Moon, Steam Down, The Japanese House, Band Of Skulls, The Joy Formidable and Sea Girls.
The festival hosts a range of acts across multiple stages. Adamson’s UK distributor The Warehouse Sound Services designed an Adamson sound reinforcement system for the festival’s main stage.
The system consisted of a full complement of Adamson E15 line array loudspeakers and E119 Subwoofers with additional ground-stacked S10 line array loudspeakers on the sides, all powered by Lab Gruppen PLM 20K44 amplifiers running Lake Processing.
Front-fill was covered with new Adamson Milan ready CS7p point source loudspeakers. Systems engineer Aidan Thomson from The Warehouse created the system design and provided support as systems engineer.
Thomson comments: “The bar is high in terms of what people expect sonically at festivals, the Adamson systems are truly scalability and we received some favourable comments from several visiting engineers who really enjoyed using the system on the main stage.”
