LONDON – The beautiful setting of St John’s Church, situated in the heart of London’s Westminster, played host to BRIT award-nominated The Feeling in part of Capital Radio’s Capitalive Summer Tour in association with Rimmel London. Turbosound’s new Flex Array series were used on the tour.
“The band are avid Turbosound fans and normally tour with an Aspect system,” explains Turbosound’s UK sales manager, Paul McMullan. “So, when Systems Etc, the audio rental company supplying the equipment for the Capital Live Summer Tour, asked if they could try out our new Flex Array series , we felt it was the perfect opportunity to show them just what it can do in a live environment.”
The front-of-house system comprised four TFA-600H compact trapezoidal three-way enclosures in ‘A’ mode – its line array mode – ground stacked on top of three TSW-218 subs per side. A further pair of TFA-600H in ‘B’ mode, i.e. with its horn rotated and in virtual point source mode – on a fourth TSW-218 cabinet, acted as infill for the first few rows of the audience.
Amplification was via two racks of T-Series amplifiers, consisting of six T-45 and four T-25, with Turbosound LMS-D26s as control across the entire system.
“St John’s Church is a highly reverberant space, having a lot of very hard, reflective surfaces,” says Paul. “Flex Array’s horizontal dispersion of 75Ëš, as opposed to most other line arrays, which have a fixed 90Ëš or greater dispersion, is the perfect solution to cope with such a space. It gave us greater control and allowed us to focus the energy on the audience area. The results we obtained were extremely good and everyone was suitably impressed.”
