[QUOTE="kristianjohnsen, post: 31336, member: 441"] Re: Streetfest setup James. I haven't done exactly what you propose, but I just had a gig where I took some photos that might initerest or inspire you :) Basically it's a youths' soccer event with 1500 participants + audience that spans over 4 soccer fields. They want to be able to make announcements and commentaries and this is a quick breakdown of our solution: Wireless receiver with paddle antennaes as well as playback sources and some 58s on stage. They are connected to a Yamaha 01v96 routed to make 3 mono mixes and one stereo. A custom layer is configured so that there is a master fader for each mix. Three mixes are routed to the surrounding areas whereas the stereo mix feeds two stacks of PA on stage to cober the area in front of it for prize ceremonies. The three mono mixes go from the 01v96 through a 50 meter EWI multicore to an Allen & Heath MixWiz 16:2 where the main outs and some of the AUXs are used to distribute the various zones to various lines and wireless transmitters running from that one centralized location. Where we can safely lay wire we do so, where we can't we use wireless. By transmitting on several frequencies we can just "tune" the speakers to the zone we want for that location 8)~8-)~:cool: By conicinence, the places where we would have had ground loop issues is where we intended to use wireless, anyways. Lucky for once! Iso transformers would have been the way to go, otherwise. For really long runs, running a 70 volt amp and getting one of those 70v-to-lineout- boxes on the end is a great solution. The announcer could stroll all over the area with his handheld mic if he wanted but it took some heavy concentration in some areas as the delay of sound propragation was pretty severe is some parts of the venue. I run a small company so we had to get a little creative to manage all the long lines, but using DMX and various snakes got us there with cable left over for all other projects that weekend. If we land more gigs like these I'll be investing into more long single lines on reels.
