UK - Britannia Row Productions recently used their new Butterfly line array, from Italian manufacturer Outline, for the largest children's choir ever assembled. The Young Voices tour, which took place throughout December 2006, saw Brit Row use the Butterfly system at all of the UK venues on the tour.

The show is an assembled choir of 5,000 school children (and 8,000 in Manchester) who are celebrating music in schools; concerts were staged at the NIA Birmingham, Sheffield Arena, MEN Manchester, Belfast Odyssey and ended at The Royal Albert Hall in London.

System technicians were Davide Lombardi and Adam Smith, who say: "This system never [fails] to amaze us, we are really putting it through its paces from rock and Roll with artists such as the Foo Fighters to 5,000 kids in the Royal Albert Hall assembled as a choir, the dynamics are absolutely fabulous."

Maurizio Gennari, FOH engineer commented: "It's great, so small yet so powerful, this system is a true reference for what is going down the microphone to what is coming out of the loudspeakers."
