Ireland - Dublin-based CAVS (Corporate Audio Visual Services) have debuted their L-Acoustics dV-DOSC system outdoors for the first time. The event was the inaugural Medieval Festival at Slane Castle, which ran from the 9-11 May. CAVS provided 24 flown dV-DOSC cabinets, with eight dV-SUB, and eight 115FM monitors on the main stage for, amongst others, The Mediaeval Babes. All the cabinets were powered by L-Acoustics LA48a and LA24a amplifiers with processing by XTA and L-Acoustics LLCa controllers. CAVS also provided four L-Acoustics 115XT for the main jousting arena, and 4 MTD108a for the banqueting marquee, again both fully packaged systems.

Despite the usual problems with the elements, from the technical perspective the show was a great success allowing CAVS the opportunity to demonstrate how they can provide different audio solutions quickly and easily under the most demanding conditions. Fran Quigley, managing director of CAVS, comments: "All the systems were up and running in no time and covered every corner of the field, which as anybody who knows Slane will tell you, is huge. Hopefully, this will now become an important annual event in the outdoor calendar."
