FOH engineer Bruce Johnston said: "I liked the sound of the system. The horns were very powerful and exactly suited what I was looking for with Oasis. After a few shows, the system really started to get up and go and I got lots of comments saying that it was the best Oasis had ever sounded. With 15 Subtech 218 subs per side, we had some amazing low end happening and really got the room shaking. We had no issue with the system's capabilities and were able to get the volume needed for a band like Oasis. The system just kept getting louder."
System engineer Davide Lombardi commented: "I consider the Butterfly a perfect system for arena tours - small and easy to rig, but with a big beefy sound and a plenty of headroom, which is needed for this kind of music. It is also very precise and this helps me a lot when I aim it, giving us less problems with reverberant rooms.
