"Besides the expectations on sound one would have for a tour of this calibre, the Turn It On Again tour scenography has a strong emphasis on video and pyrotechnics," says Colin. "Moreover, the stage was primarily designed for stadia and large format arenas with a total width of 90m. Therefore, the sound design is challenging as it requires high throw capability and must be as visually unobtrusive as possible with an unusual spacing of 46m between the L/R V-DOSC clusters."
In order to cover the stadium audience for almost every show, the main FOH consists of 96 V-DOSC cabinets with four clusters of 16 cabinets each. This 64 V-DOSC system is completed by additional outer-fills featuring 16 additional cabinets each and additional delay lines."
Alain Schneebeli adds: "Although the band mostly operates with in-ear monitors, keyboardist Tony Banks uses a pair of reference stage monitor 115 XTHIQs. The drum kit operates with an LF extension consisting of a dV-SUB which is great for impact."
