UK - Park Audio was commissioned by promoters PLM to supply systems for the beach-side dance music festival in Portrush, Northern Ireland, featuring DJs such as Fedde Le Grand, Utah Saints and Eric Prydz, and headlined by The Chemical Brothers.

Park Audio's systems engineer Mark Morrison described the set-up. "The plot was 16 XLC DVX a side, six X-Subs (stacked six-high) a side, and centre- fill of six XLC215s plus two XLC DVX. For monitors, we used EV ZX5s and side- fills were X-Array cabinets. The system was overseen by Iris-Net control software to ensure we had adequate headroom throughout the event."

Park's decision to buy Electro-Voice's XLC compact line array was taken just as EV launched its DVX upgrade - the incorporation of new EV 12-inch low-frequency/mid-bass woofers into the XLC127 cabinets, giving greater high-SPL stability and full-bandwidth intelligibility than previously available.
