BRIT ROW TESTS X-LINE AT MOBO

Sound contractor Britannia Row took the unusual step of evaluating a new Electro-Voice X-Line line array loudspeaker system at the sixth annual MOBO (Music Of Black Origin) Awards, the X-Line system’s very first major UK gig. “We had a day less than is normally scheduled for load-in and set up,” said sound designer and FOH engineer Derek Zieba. “Despite a 36-hour delay in getting our rigging points, we plugged it in, selected the presets on the controllers and fired it up; the system worked straight out of the box, and it sounded fantastic!”
