Taking in over 50 dates across western and eastern Europe, the one-truck Rhythm Kings tour is visiting venues with audience capacities ranging from 500 to over 3,000. WE Audio is covering these capacities with just 12stacks of Aspect touring cabinets, with each stack comprising a TA-890H mid-high and TA-890L bass cabinet.
The Aspect loudspeakers are being flown as a 3 x 2 left-right system, with ground-stacked TSW-218 sub-bass units providing additional low-frequency support, particularly for the larger venues. The entire rig is being controlled via XTA DP-428 processors, and powered by a combination of MC2 E-25/E-45 amplifiers and Turbosound T-25 and T-45-equipped amp racks.
Wayne Barker, managing director of WE Audio, commented, "We have witnessed steadily rising interest for the Aspect loudspeaker system throughout this year, and have received extremely positive reactions from engineers, production crew and audience alike, at all the events and festivals we have handled. The European tour for the Rhythm Kings is no exception and, wherever we go, all concerned are very happy with the results. The system's flexibility in dealing with the variety of venues onthe tour is a strong benefit."
The Rhythm Kings' tour began in the Netherlands in September, and visited Scandinavia during October and early November, with its final pre-Christmas date in Hamburg, Germany. Further dates are planned for the Netherlands next year, starting in January.
