    The main deck sound system

    was shit hot.

    when adam was on, and when Lee was on it sounded amazing. They really got the best out of it. the clarity was amazing. FAR better than the system in foundation for trance. When sheridan played the crush!! :groovy: the main synth was so clear...

    can foundation have an upgrade? :p :) :confused:

    Aye - was gonna ask about those 'new' speakers - did you actually look at them? They looked totally different to Foundation's 'flat box' speakers.. they were like horns or something. Funny shaped with a cylinder coming out the middle. They were stacked and you could add as many as you wanted to fit the size of the room. One on it's own wasn't very big. Gatecrasher @ NEC had loads of bigger ones of them. New breed of speakers or have they been out a while?

    Either way - very good at spreading the joy. No distortion, crisp, bassy as fuck. Get some in Foundation

    these aren't the same, but have a feeling they work along similar principles. Plus they're fatter than Michelle McManus which is the real reason i posted this here :D

    Innerfield Soundsystem
    Innerfield soundsystem is a 12 kW sound reinforcement system designed and built by our in house team of engineers. The unique visual impact and audio clarity of the system make it the perfect choice for prestige events.
    For bands or recorded music in clubs, festivals or corporate events the Innerfield Soundsystem gives an unsurpassed "wow" factor!

    The horn-loaded and direct radiating speaker designs provides efficiency in the bass and treble ranges for high output while not compromising smoothness, intelligibility and detail in the crucial mid ranges (where most conventional PAs break down). The system sounds clear and musical with acoustic music, but still has the kick needed for dance and rock.

    :spangled: cant really remember what the quality in the main room was like but the rest of the systems sounded really really poor.. as if someone had wrapped a blanket round them.. especially in the funky room...

    was talkin to one of the djs who played on the boat on thursday last night and that was one of the first things he said to me..

    :)

    those speakers are fooken mental!

    your right there mate, it was pretty pointless playing really, cos i could hear fukk all when i was mixing, apart from feedback and overblown bass. The monitor was really bad, the sound wasnt defined from it, so u couldnt hear the beat. It was pretty impossible to mix.....
