Spanish speaker manufacturer’s Lynx V8 line array was used on Glastonbury 08's Park stage

Glasto’s Park Stage hosted many quality acts over the three-day festival. Pete Doherty, Franz Ferdinand, John Cale, CSS, My morning Jacket, Battles and Tunng all performed on the stage, which had eight Lynx V8 active top boxes, with six Lynx active 218 subwoofers per side, driven through the new ARK 48 system processor provided by South West Audio.

Operations manager, Mark Bott, explained, “We’d already heard the Lynx at the VMB headquarters in Spain and were suitably impressed with the sound from such a compact system. We wanted to put the Lynx through its paces and the Park Stage was the perfect opportunity.

"We were allocated a very limited weight to fly from the speaker towers and the Lynx line array meant we could get everything we wanted into the air with very little flying equipment. The Park Stage is erected in a natural amphitheatre and the line-array allowed us to control more effectively the focus area of the sound. Whilst adhering to all the noise regulations, we also had an audience of 20,000 and everybody was very happy with the system.”
