Members heatheroo Posted August 18, 2008 Members Share Posted August 18, 2008 Dragged out my old woodstock album last night and it got me wondering what the PA setup was like for that event. Anyone know? watts? channels? speakers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members flanc Posted August 18, 2008 Members Share Posted August 18, 2008 A little info here http://www.woodstockpreservation.org/PastPresent/BillHanley.htm From Wikipedia Sound for the concert was engineered by Bill Hanley, whose innovations in the sound industry have earned him the prestigious Parnelli Award.[citation needed] "It worked very well," he says of the event. "I built special speaker columns on the hills and had 16 loudspeaker arrays in a square platform going up to the hill on 70-foot [21 meter] towers. We set it up for 150,000 to 200,000 people. Of course, 500,000 showed up."[citation needed] ALTEC designed 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
