A Barking Dog

Collado Villalba, ES (suburban Madrid)

Venue: Campo de Futbol Municipal, (small soccer stadium) about four thousand initially, but due to show delayed by production crew, we didn’t take the stage until 0115 or so. Show ended about 0300.

FOH
consoles: PM5D-RH with Midas Heritage 3000 for support.
speakers: EV Xlc (8 modules per side) with Xsub(F) (4 per side) controlled by EV Dx38 and powered by EV P3000 amps.

MON
console: Midas Heritage 4000 w/ KT DN360 eqs with Yamaha 01v for support.
wedges: I tried to search the EV site for the model numbers but the layout of the site is so screwed up I couldn’t find them. It’s the curved little ones that have a 12″ and what sounds to be a 1″, passive with EV 2200 amps.

Note to Bosch, find whomever designed the information flow on the current EV and Telex sites and either reassign them to something else, or fire them entirely. Hopefully Bosch won’t let the folks at Telex that ran EV into the ground continue to do that. Why are the products listed by model line and not application? Let’s say a first time user is coming to the site and I want a wedge. I have to know what model brand it’s under to find it and the search is about as useful as tits on a bull. You need to promote guys like Jay and Jeff into positions where they can actually make a difference. You’ve got some good people in the middle of the org, but aren’t letting them “be all they can be”, if you catch my drift.
