Glastonbury 2023

Showcasing renowned acts such as Guns N’ Roses and hosting Elton John's final UK performance, Glastonbury’s 2023 edition delivered three days packed with icons of the music world. British loudspeaker manufacturer EM Acoustics returned to the festival's Acoustic Stage, following the resounding success of last year's outing.

In total, eight HALO-A were used per side, accompanied with 24 Quake subwoofers deployed as a steered array to ensure even low frequency across the very wide audience area. Six R10s provided front fill, whilst two R12s acted as L/R outfill. EM Acoustics also delivered a full monitor package consisting of eight individual mixes of M-C15 coaxial passive stage monitors, an R12 and ST-218 per side as side fill, and M-C15/ST-215 drum fills to deliver focused audio specifically for the drum position. The entire system was driven by EM Acoustics’ own DQ20D advanced system amplifiers in their bespoke touring racks, running on AES and fed by an XTA MX36 console switcher to handle guest consoles.
