Carlson Audio was on hand with the system and support - including EAW KF761 line arrays - for the official launch gig of Microsoft's new Zune digital media player held at Westlake Center in downtown Seattle. Popular indie band The Secret Machines (pictured here with EAW KF750's in the background) provided the entertainment for a large crowd that also heard introductory remarks from Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates.

Carlson Audio Production Manager Chez Stock also said that in addition to the four-box KF761 line arrays flanking the stage, the system also featured KF750 full-range loudspeakers for fill applications, while EAW SM Series stage monitors were the choice on stage.
