The equipment list was comprehensive, with an ElectroVoice Xlc system as the main PA run from a Midas Heritage 3000 mixing console at FoH. An impressive 20 channels of Klark Teknik Helix handled system EQ, while no less than 48 channels of KT DN1248 were available for the microphone splits, as jazz bands often place heavier demands on the splitter system than traditional rock bands. Looking after the monitor system, which comprised a mixture of Dynacord Madras and EV Plasma cabinets, was a trusty Midas XL250 monitor board.
Festival founder Heinz Huber was delighted with the results: "The sound equipment was a sensation," he commented, "and the musicians thought so too."
