Tannoy's VQ for Glasto Igloo |

This year's Glastonbury festival saw Tannoy’s new VQ Series loudspeaker system deployed in one of the tents - the Igloo in the Dance Village.
Brainchild of events company Igloo Vision, the Igloo provided an immersive 360 degree projection environment involving live video mixing and audio.
With just a single stack on each side, comprising a VQ NET 60 cabinet above an accompanying VS218 DR subwoofer, the aesthetic impact on the visual projection space of the Igloo interior was minimal.
The new VQ series has been designed for any application where precise directional control, outstanding sonic performance and high SPL's are critical issues, with the Igloo dome being just such an application.
Commenting, Igloo Vision’s Colin Yellowley said:
"We found ourselves in a tough position. The old Igloo rig was a cumbersome 10K Das system which Glastonbury would not allow us to use based on the power consumption.
"Tannoy’s VQ system allowed us to provide amazing clarity of sound at a high impact level which, combined with the 360 projections of the Igloo, allowed us to create something that was considered to be the best offering in the Dance Village area."
