  • Deniliquin Ute Muster Festival 2009

    The Deni Ute Muster kicked of in a big way this year with Powderfinger headlining the main stage and doing their only live show for the month.

    The system was a D&B J system with a XL4 console out front.

    Over 15,000 people turned out for one of the greatest ute musters thus far. Lots of utes and dust to boot! The Ute muster is rapidly becoming one of the great summer festivals on the Australian calendar and we look forward to many more years of dust and utes!

    JAS supplied a full production solution to the client including audio, lighting, stage and all production staff. Larry Ponting was the production manager and put the whole show together.

  • The Who 2009

    Having recently purchased the D & B J system JAS was contacted by the Who to supply the system for their Australian tour. Paul Ramsay their FOH operator was keen to use the system if it was available as they had been using it worldwide. The tour consisted of arenas and some outdoor shows.

    The system also required 3 x Digico digital consoles and was the first, in Australia, to use the SD7.

    The SD7 was doing the FOH duties and the 2 x D5 consoles were on monitors. All the consoles were running with dual racks (112chls) and we also supplied a recording system.

    The schedule also meant JAS needed to supply a 2nd L-Acoustics VDosc system due to an overnight run back to the Melbourne Grand Prix. At the Grand Prix the Who played to a crowd estimated at 40,000.

    The tour also featured the Counting Crows as support.

  • Coldplay 2009

    Coldplay returned to Australia for another sold-out tour in Feb 2009. As Coldplay like numerous other acts are using the D&B J system, JAS was commissioned to supply our largest arena system to date.

    The system design, handled by Tony Smith who has been with the band for many years, was in a 270 ° 6 hang setup with 2 delays down the room.

    The system was made up of of 4 x 16 deep hangs of J8 & J12 with 12 x flown J-Subs. The outer 270 ° hangs were 2 x dVDosc subs and 8 x dVDosc boxes each. The 2 x delays up the room consisted of 4 x J8 boxes per hang. The delays had a 40m trussing system running down the room to supply the power and signal.

    Coldplay brought their own Digidesign Venue D-Show console packages which were supplied by Wigam UK.

    The band used a full in-ear monitoring system so no monitors were needed other than for the opening acts which used a JAS “Wayloud” monitor system with Yamaha M7CL consoles.
