Germany - Guitar legend Carlos Santana and his band are currently on a world tour which is turning into a global triumph for the Grammy Award winner. The German leg of the tour is proving no exception - selling out major venues like Munich's Olympiahalle several times over.

Providing the sound system for the tour is British rental company Major Tom Ltd / Sound Image, who have made the Electro-Voice X-Line and XLC PA system the centrepiece of their production. Major Tom's Chris Marsh, explains why: "We were all agreed that the EV X-Line has the most brilliant sound of any comparable system. It offers impressive clarity at the top and remarkable warmth at the bottom." As side-hangs, FOH man Rob Mailman and his team are using Electro-Voice's new, compact XLC system with eight cabinets per side. The system is being driven with Electro-Voice P-3000 amps.

For Major Tom Ltd / Sound Image, the Santana tour follows the tour of ex-Beach Boy Brian Wilson earlier this year.
