With the reinforcement of 6 hangs of 14 enclosures of GSL boxes and Y10P front fills, the GSL delivered a new dimension of performance-enriching sound. So far, this is the largest deployment of GSL in the round to date.<br>\u201c<em>Having worked this event in the past, we were aware that our biggest challenge to overcome was the buildup of low-end frequencies<\/em>\u201d recalls Dave Thomas, Advance System Support for d&amp;b audiotechnik, who previously mixed five NCYC shows. \u201c<em>The rejection of the GSL eliminated this issue and kept consistency from the floor to the bowl<\/em>.\u201d<br>The switch to GSL proved to be a solution for two long-standing challenges they faced. Declan Weir, the producer of the event, was concerned that the bowl sounded different from the floor, resulting in a lack of consistency and tonality across the listening plane.<br>The GSL provided enough horsepower with directionality that cut the delays entirely. Front of house engineer Jeremy Bane was overjoyed at the improvements he experienced from his perspective.<br>\u201c<em>We got rid of delays, subs, took 13,000 lbs out of the rig overall and shaved off six hours rigging,\u201d <\/em>he explains.<em> \u201cFor the first time ever, we didn\u2019t have a single sound complaint for the entire show<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-heading wp-block\">\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Delve into industry best practices<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<!-- Begin Mailchimp Signup Form -->\n<link href=\"\/\/cdn-images.mailchimp.com\/embedcode\/classic-071822.css\" rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text\/css\">\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t#mc_embed_signup{background:#fff; clear:left; font:14px Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;  width:450px;}\n\t\/* Add your own Mailchimp form style overrides in your site stylesheet or in this style block.\n\t   We recommend moving this block and the preceding CSS link to the HEAD of your HTML file. *\/\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"mc_embed_signup\">\n    <form action=\"https:\/\/solotech.us18.list-manage.com\/subscribe\/post?u=60e7fd343b56a91444f41b89d&amp;id=82d8ebb461&amp;f_id=00399de1f0\" method=\"post\" id=\"mc-embedded-subscribe-form\" name=\"mc-embedded-subscribe-form\" class=\"validate\" target=\"_blank\" novalidate>\n        <div id=\"mc_embed_signup_scroll\">\n        \n        <div class=\"indicates-required\"><span class=\"asterisk\">*<\/span> indicates required<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-field-group\">\n\t<label for=\"mce-EMAIL\">Email  <span class=\"asterisk\">*<\/span>\n<\/label>\n\t<input type=\"email\" value=\"\" name=\"EMAIL\" class=\"required email\" id=\"mce-EMAIL\" required>\n\t<span id=\"mce-EMAIL-HELPERTEXT\" class=\"helper_text\"><\/span>\n<\/div>\n<div hidden=\"true\"><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"tags\" value=\"63006,62866\"><\/div>\n\t<div id=\"mce-responses\" class=\"clear\">\n\t\t<div class=\"response\" id=\"mce-error-response\" style=\"display:none\"><\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"response\" id=\"mce-success-response\" style=\"display:none\"><\/div>\n\t<\/div>    <!-- real people should not fill this in and expect good things - do not remove this or risk form bot signups-->\n    <div style=\"position: absolute; left: -5000px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><input type=\"text\" name=\"b_60e7fd343b56a91444f41b89d_82d8ebb461\" tabindex=\"-1\" value=\"\"><\/div>\n    <div class=\"clear\"><input type=\"submit\" value=\"Subscribe\" name=\"subscribe\" id=\"mc-embedded-subscribe\" class=\"button\"><\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/form>\n<\/div>\n<script type='text\/javascript' src='\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/downloads.mailchimp.com\/js\/mc-validate.js'><\/script><script type='text\/javascript'>(function($) {window.fnames = new Array(); window.ftypes = new Array();fnames[0]='EMAIL';ftypes[0]='email';fnames[1]='FNAME';ftypes[1]='text';fnames[2]='LNAME';ftypes[2]='text';fnames[3]='LANGUE';ftypes[3]='dropdown';fnames[4]='OFFICE';ftypes[4]='dropdown';fnames[5]='SOURCE';ftypes[5]='text';fnames[6]='COUNTRY';ftypes[6]='text';fnames[7]='STATE';ftypes[7]='text';fnames[8]='MMERGE8';ftypes[8]='dropdown';fnames[9]='MMERGE9';ftypes[9]='date';fnames[10]='MMERGE10';ftypes[10]='imageurl';}(jQuery));var $mcj = jQuery.noConflict(true);<\/script>\n<!--End mc_embed_signup-->\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-heading wp-block\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-normal-font-size\">CAPTIVATE YOUR AUDIENCE<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-paragraph wp-block\">\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\"><br>According to Bane, the greatest metric of success when producing an event for teens is if the conversations are to a minimum and no one is on their phone.<br>\u201c<em>The clarity and continuity of processing took the coverage and experience for the audience to a whole new level,<\/em>\u201d he adds. \u201c<em>We never lost their attention from the minute we started, to the minute we ended.
