The latest on the list of must-attend events on the Spanish festival calendar, the Festival de Les Arts was recently staged in Valencia with performances from national and international bands that included La Habitación Roja, Lori Meyers, Delorean and The Wombats.

More than 22,000 festivalgoers assembled on Valencia’s City of Arts and Sciences complex for the two-day event, where three stages hosted more than 30 performances. Sound company Fluge was called in to handle the sound for the festival and teamed up with DAS Audio, setting up a range of systems from DAS Audio on all three stages.

Fluge rolled out 24 large-format DAS Aero 50 line array systems for the Heineken main stage, which required a robust sound system for its line-up of artists.

The main arrays were flown in two hangs of 12 units each on either side of the stage. New DAS UX-221A double 21-inch powered subwoofers were set up in two blocks of nine cabinets under each hang for low-frequency support. DAS Convert series systems were used for front fill, with a combination of Convert systems with LX-218CA subwoofers for side fill. The constant stream of artists that crossed the stage over the festival also had a battery of self-powered DAS Road Series stage monitors at their service. The set-up at the Heineken stage was rounded out by a delay system equipped with the new powered Aero 40A Alas (Advanced Line Array System).

The system used at the Negrita stage called on 12 Aero 50s flown on either side of the stage matched by 12 ground-stacked LX-218CA powered subwoofers. Convert systems were used for side fill, while a combination of Convert/ LX-218CA served as front fill. On stage, the artists were backed up by DAS Series Road stage monitors.

The PA at the Coolway stage was based on 16 Aero 40A systems, flown in two eight-cabinet hangs and paired with 12 LX-218CA subwoofers groundstacked in a line in front of the stage. Convert Series systems once again provided front fill, with a combination of Convert/LX-218CA as side fill and Road Series monitors on-stage.
