The event featured two stages, a large main stage and a secondary, smaller one to the left, with an audience arena around 109m deep. In Norway labor is expensive, so having a system that does not need lots of crew to set up is very good. About Volbeat is a Danish heavy metal band which was formed in Copenhagen. . Its large Alcons inventory was ideal for an event where the sound needed to be loud within the arena, but very quiet outside it. They play a fusion of rock and roll, heavy metal and rockabilly. I thoroughly enjoyed working with the product, and look forward to using it again in the future.
The systems used 69 Sentinel10 and one Sentinel3 amplified loudspeaker controllers, totaling 280 channels of processed amplification. Their current line-up consists of vocalist and guitarist Michael Poulsen, guitarist Rob Caggiano, drummer Jon Larsen and bassist Kaspar Boye Larsen. However, the directivity and all-natural cylindrical wavefront of Alcons pro-ribbon technology meant that neither caused any problems. In fact it only exceeded them by a few dBs and there were no complaints at all from residents. A festival is also a social happening, where people want to talk together, so it was good to have some areas where the audience could sit down with a beer and chat, but still clearly hear everything that was happening on both stages. Sound for the event was supplied by , a company with many years experience of supplying the technical production for festivals and high profile international artists.
These members of the audience discovered bands that they never would have seen if it had not been for the Alcons sound system. It meant we had more capacity in the roof for lighting, video and sets, which was very important at this festival. They are inspired by classic rock and roll artists such as Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash, as well as modern hard rock, thrash metal, heavy metal, alternative rock and hardcore punk groups. Having seen how well it performed, promoter Trondheim Concerts had the confidence to specify no delay towers at Trondheim Rocks. . . .
