The system debuted at the Shrewsbury Folk Festival, a four-day festival with many international acts including The Duhks; Richard Thompson, Oysterband; and Lunasa.
The iLive system was installed at FOH with a multicore and analogue split to a second iLive system - comprising an iDR10 stagerack and iLive-80 control surface - positioned on monitors. This was complemented with a flown HK line array, front-fills, subs and wedges.
"Due to the comms system, it was necessary to employ a traditional analogue set up, connecting the FOH and monitor consoles via multicore and active split," says CV Audio's Graham Bradshaw. "This wouldn't be possible with most digital systems but iLive is so versatile we were able to easily adapt the system on this occasion. All the visiting engineers were unfamiliar with iLive but they quickly picked up naming and colour-coding channels and saving band scenes."
