Long-time EAW user Carlson Audio of Seattle is providing the sound reinforcement system and experienced support for the current concert tour by Billboard chart toppers Modest Mouse, with the system headlined by EAW KF760 Series line arrays. The tour just kicked off last week and is currently crossing the U.S. and Canada before heading on to Europe for an extensive set of dates.

Carlson Audio, headed by company founder Mark Carlson, has dispatched veteran sound engineer Allan Bagley (shown at left) to serve as head system tech, where he rides herd over a rig that varies from show to show due to the diverse styles of venues being visited by the tour. Generally, the flown main arrays are made up of several KF760 full-range line array modules above two to three KF761 specialized downfill/wide dispersion modules that help meet coverage needs at the front of the audience areas.

"The KF760 rig is doing its usual fine job of meeting and exceeding whatever full-range coverage needs that happen to come up along the way," Bagley noted during system setup prior to a sold-out show at Chicago's Auditorium Theatre. The system is enhanced with EAW SB1000 dual-18-inch-loaded subwoofers as well as compact EAW loudspeakers placed at the front of the stage when needed to offer additional front-fill to the very first rows. Further, venerable EAW KF850 full-range loudspeakers are supplying stage fill.
