One
of the largest rigs of
Turbosound's Aspect
loudspeakers was assembled for
the annual Roskilde Festival
in Denmark at the end of June
by the system rental division
of DPA SoundCo, Turbosound's
Danish distributor. Over one
hundred Aspect loudspeakers
were deployed by DPA for the
Orange Stage at the Festival,
which attracted a total
audience of around 70,000
during the four-day event. DPA
configured the Orange Stage's
left-right system with 24 x
Aspect TA-890H touring
mid-high and 32 x TA-890L
touring bass cabinets flown
per side, with an additional 8
x TSW-218 double 18" sub-bass
units ground-stacked on each
side of the stage.
With
a rich programme of bands,
DJ's and solo artists covering
every musical genre, the
Roskilde Festival featured
over 150 international acts,
with the Orange Stage
presenting sets from acts as
diverse as Black Sabbath,
Duran Duran, Foo Fighters,
Green Day and Snoop Dogg. The
Aspect-based system delivered
this wide range of material
across the 70-metre depth of
the arena, with Gorm Jakobsen,
of DPA SoundCo,
commenting:
"Our
company handled all the audio
requirements of the Orange
Stage - the main stage at
Roskilde - and we were very
happy with the results from
the Aspect design. We knew it
was going to be good, as
having heard just one speaker,
with our experience of
configuring large rigs, we
could tell very quickly that
it was going to prove to be a
successful design, especially
for a festival of this scale.
The Aspect's new type of HF
horn design works very well,
and on the practical front,
load-in and get-out could be
accomplished quickly and
easily."
