14 CT 115 ConTour Series high-/midrange units, biamped with DSM 2060 controllers and LABgruppen FP 10000 power amps, served as front monitors. Two CT 112 enclosures and four CTA 118 units provided the drum-fill, and one ConTour Array with two 2 CTA 208 and CTA 118 enclosures made up the side-fill system.
Commenting on the performance, Taylor noted: "I've been an HK Audio user for quite some time. Because the cabinets that we used last year didn't work out so well, this year I used the CT 115 from HK Audio, which satisfied all the demands, and performed and sounded excellent. With 43 bands and 20 minutes each change-over time for the entire stage, you need monitors that handle this kind of action.
"I was tremendously satisfied with the CT 115 units. The ConTour Array side-fill was so accurate it felt like being in a studio. And the CTA 118 and CT 112 combos for the drummers were a real hit.
"At very festival you encounter minor problems, usually in the guise of a band's own audio engineer who doesn't know the system and insists on tweaking it to his taste. This year, not once did I have to re-EQ, and that's quite remarkable when dealing with 43 bands in three days."
