This year’s Wohlsein Open Air festival took place in the castle and meadow park in the German city of Paderborn on July 18th – 21st.
An audience of 6000 enjoyed headline performances from top German rock band the H-Blockx, Hanover indie-funk band Jeremias and rapper and singer Jan Delay.
Paderborn-based event production specialists Sound Linear rigged an all-NEXO main stage that drew on both line array and point-source speaker ranges from the French manufacturer’s catalogue, including left and right hangs of 15 x compact STM M28 omni modules with bass extension from separate hangs of 8 x STM B112. A total of 32 x STM S118 subs were stacked across the front of the stage.
Left and right arrays of 6 x NEXO GEO M10 performed out fill duties, while 5 x P12s from NEXO’s P+ Series were deployed as front fills. The highly versatile P12s were also used for monitors and drum fills (on NEXO LS15 subs), while the legendary NEXO Alpha was used for side fills. Amplification was provided by NEXO’s NXAMP Powered TD Controllers in NUAR racks.
“The festival is located close to the centre of the city, so we deployed the subs in 1:1 cardio mode to control the LF dispersion” reports Sound Linear Project Manager Olly Thiele. “The STM system delivers very precise coverage with a long throw and the NEXO NXAMPs have processing presets for all NEXO speakers, making it easy to configure a system comprising many different NEXO boxes.
“From FOH to monitors, there’s a high-performance solution that makes NEXO perfect for this type of application.
