House Of Usher
The current U.S. tour by R & B artist Usher carries house
and monitor sound systems from Gemini Sound of Dallas, supplied
to the specifications of FOH Engineer Tim Lawrence and Monitor
Engineer Maceo Price. Not only are line arrays utilized for
house, but they also play a key role in the monitoring system.

Feature Story Archive

Weller has been a Canegreen client for many years, making
regular one-off appearances and full-scale tours with the

Muse in Europe
- under Feature Story Archive
Muse is the first major tour in the UK to use EAW's revolutionary
new line array system, which arrived at the Canegreen warehouse
barely a few hours before the system was due to load out.
Paul McCauley, the company's project manager, explained that
this type of mixed touring is a challenge for a 'big' system.
"It's been designed for larger arena venues," he
pointed out, "but because of the wide range of audience
and auditorium sizes in Europe - often on the same tour -
we need to be able to put it into venues where, for example,
we won't have the luxury of high-capacity flying points."
