Europe - Following the successful pairing of an Electro-Voice X-Line array with Simply Red on their last tour in 2003, Britannia Row has supplied the same system for the Simplified tour of Europe. Once again mixed by front-of-house engineer Gary Bradshaw, the system uses left and right arrays of X-Line cabinets, each comprising eight Xvls high-output cabinets and four Xvlt 5° trapezoidals for the lower section of the array. A centre array uses eight Xvls plus three Xvlt cabinets, while Xi1152 full-range boxes are flown two-deep at the side of the stage, with two more on the ground; six Xsubs complete the picture.

X-Line is powered by 16 racks of amplifiers, each containing four P3000RL Precision Series units, all under the IRIS software management system. Electro-Voice says Britannia Row has been instrumental in the development of this powerful software tool, providing invaluable feedback to Electro-Voice programmers from front-line applications, notably the Live8 production in London this summer.

Britannia Row's Bryan Grant says: "IRIS is a very powerful tool, which allows us to be very precise in the management of amplifiers from the console. After lengthy collaboration over the last two years, we now have an operating system that is pretty cute, and you can do a hell of a lot with the package."
