VALENCIA, Spain — Simes Audio, led by David Ferri, provided D.A.S. Aero line array systems organized by Acció Cultural del Pais Valencià for a four-hour outdoor festival at Valencia’s Polytechnic University featuring bands including Berri Txarrak, Aramateix, Sva-ters, Pirat’s Sound Sistema and Rapsodes.
The PA system included 20 D.A.S. Aero 38A powered modules, arranged in two 10-unit line formations at each side of the stage, along with 16 D.A.S. Aero 218A 2K powered subwoofer units aligned along the bottom of the stage. They were placed approximately one meter from each other so that there would be consistent pressure over the audience area and minimize pressure lobes.
Simes Audio used EASE software to predict the coverage over the audience area and made adjustments to widen the coverage of the subwoofers, then checked this against the coverage provided by the Aero 38A line array systems for coherence.
Completing the setup, two Aero 28A units were used as a frontfill for the first rows in the audience. A further cluster, made up of three Aero 28A powered systems plus two CA-215A subwoofer units, was placed at each side of the stage as a sidefill for the different acts.
“During the sound testing for each of the bands, we could see the consistent response and high versatility of the Aero systems for different musical styles,” said Simes Audio’s David Ferri. “A variety of acts, each with their own technical staff, different requirements based on their specific needs, and the systems always responded effectively, which greatly eases the job of sound engineers.”
