TORONTO'S 'EDGIEST' DAY
Toronto's Olympic Island was the site of the city's 'edgiest' day of live music this summer as Adamson loudspeakers helped create some all-Canadian sonic boom. Towers Productions took charge of providing the system for the festival, which attracted over 8,000 to Olympic Island.
A Y-Axis line array system was employed for the event stage, comprised of 32 Y10s and 16 Y10 Subs. Four Adamson LX10s provided centre lip-fill; and for side-fill, three Adamson SpekTrix and one SpekTrix Sub per side were used. Adamson's compact, versatile SpekTrix and its new companion SpekTrix Sub were also ground stacked 'two and two' to handle drum-fill duty. A dozen low-profile Adamson 12MX were used for on-stage monitors.
Headliners Sam Roberts and veteran alt-rockers Sloan capped off a day of musical acts that included Broken Social Scene, Buck 65 and the Constantines.
