Venue: Outdoor Festival
Perspective Venue View
Outdoor festivals include a number of inherent challenges. First and foremost, the typical audience
areas and throw distances are very large. The following example shows a large concert area (550’ deep
x 650’ wide) for a well-known festival in the UK. The design uses two arrays, each with one main
column of 16x Anya modules and one outfill column of 12x modules. The system is clearly capable of
addressing the 500+ foot throw without any need for delay towers, delivering consistent coverage to
the most distant listeners.
As mentioned before, a major advantage with Anya over any other pro-touring system on the market is
its ability to tailor coverage in-situ. It is no secret that major outdoor festivals endure the wrath of
surrounding neighborhoods on a regular basis and noise control is of paramount importance to festival
promoters and city government.
Most festivals begin early in the day and run late into the evening. The first half of the day is usually
light on festival attendees relative to the number that can be expected for the headliners later in the
evening. Still, with conventional systems, there is no way to tailor the coverage. The mains will run all
day long in full coverage regardless of how many attendees are present. While delay rings may be
turned off until they are required later in the evening the mains cannot be altered
Anya has the ability to alter the coverage to whatever the needs are at any time. Coverage could be 0
to 50 feet at the beginning and 20 to 300 in the evening or anywhere in between. The ability to tailor
the coverage in such a way minimizes unnecessary spill to the surrounding areas. The key is that even
reducing the coverage of the system does not disrupt the directivity control. With a traditional system
to attempt this would mean turning off sections of the arrays which would reduce its ability to control
