Switzerland - The Festilac festival, which takes place near Geneva at the end of August, is serviced by a French sound rental company, Digiteac Industrie. This year, for the acapella and acoustic music event, they provided a sound system which featured Soundcraft mixing desks and JBL Pro loudspeakers supplied by SCV Audio.

Digiteac put a Soundcraft MH3 console out at front-of-house, electing to use a Soundcraft SM20 for monitor mixing. The main PA system was a JBL Vertec line-array, comprising 16 VT4888 mid speakers and eight VT4880 subwoofers, combined with six VRX932LA speakers providing frontfill.

Powering the system were 16x Crown I-Tech rack-mounted amplifiers, suspended and linked up by an appropriate patch system. Signal processing was done by two BSS Omnidrive FDS366Ts, and also in the rack were Lexicon multi-effects and DBX graphic equalizers. The JBL SRX Series provided onstage monitoring, using eight SRX712M cabinets.
