RG Jones provides Martin Audio WPL for Classical Summer Concert

Leeds Castle in Kent recently played host to the open-air Leeds Castle Classical Summer Concert in celebration of its 900-year milestone. This gave around 11,000 concert-goers the opportunity to witness the world premiere of the fanfare, ‘A Tribute to Leeds Castle’, composed by Tom Hodge, performed by the Band of the Royal Marines and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, and conducted by John Rigby.

The Martin Audio Wavefront Precision Longbow (WPL) - supplied, optimised and controlled by RG Jones Sound Engineering - delivered the sound. Working for concert organisers Heritage Events, the sound production company, under project manager and FOH engineer Ben Milton, had to contend with a site that was both deep and wide (180 m x 200 m), with a steep incline.

They deployed 16 WPL elements per side for the main hangs, with eight Wavefront Precision Compact (WPC) for the outfills, 12 WPL for the Hill Fill (the single auditorium right delay position) and four-a-side Wavefront Precision Mini (WPM) for the infills. In addition, four Martin Audio DD6s were spread across the front for near-fill coverage and six-a-side Martin Audio SXH218 subwoofers provided low-end extension in a non-cardioid configuration.
