Estivale Open Air in Switzerland
Estivale is an indie, rock and pop festival, which took place from 28.07.2017 to 01.08.2017 in Estavayer-Le-Lac near Friborg and Bern (CH). As in recent years the Galo sound system was used for the main stage. Including the GALO G 10 Line Array, which was already in use last year, the new GB 218 was used for the bass foundation for the first time.
The top acts were Asaf Avidan, Milky Chance and Patti Smith. In addition, Bastian Baker, K's Choice, Olivia Ruiz, Winter Homes, Jack Savoretti, Ida Mae and many more.
The project was realized by Jaccoud Music Electronic SA . www.jaccoud.ch

Estivale Open Air in Switzerland used products
High Power Subwoofer GB 218
Passive high power subwoofer equipped with two newly 18" long excursion neodymium speakers. The direct radiating design assures a extraordinary powerful and precise bass response at highest SPL down to the frequency limit of 25 Hz. Its bassreflex design has been optimized to minimize the flow noise. Due to the very low frequency tuning, the sound impression is voluminous but precise and responsive. The GB 218 is characterized by compact enclosure dimensions.
Line Source Element QL 906 90° x 6°
The 2-way line source unit QL 906 is equipped with two 1“ drivers coupled to a waveformer and two 8“ neodymium speakers combined with outstanding AQF acoustic filters. This filters, compounds of reticulated aminoplastic foams, dampen standing waves inside the speaker system and cancel parasetical side-lobars within the working direction, creating a wide while smooth horizontal dispersion and a perfect vertical scalability.
Line Source Element QL 1215 120° x 15° (Downfill)
The 2-way line source unit QL 1215 is equipped with two 1“ drivers coupled to a waveformer and two 8“ neodymium speakers combined with outstanding AQF acoustic filters. This filters, compounds of reticulated aminoplastic foams, dampen standing waves inside the speaker system and cancel parasetical side-lobars within the working direction, creating a wide while smooth horizontal dispersion and a perfect vertical scalability.
Hybrid Source Element QH 5045 V2
The single hybrid array unit QH 5045 V2 (newly developed high frequency unit) has a dispersion of 50° horizontal and 45° vertical. The hybrid array element is an absolute novelty in the combination of line source and point source technologies. The QH 5045 V2 contains four 1“ high frequency drivers which are coherently working on a waveguide guaranteeing a precise dispersion and seamless transition of the high frequencies between the array elements. The two hornloaded mid range systems are equipped with 10“ neodymium speakers. In this system the requirements for compact dimensions, highest SPL and defined dispersion of a line array are combined in a symbiosis. The QH 5045 V2 is optimized for clustering of maximum three units both in groundstacking and flying mode. Furthermore, thanks to the integrated flange, the operation on a high stand is possible.
Hybrid Source Element QF 5045 V2
The single hybrid array element QF 5045 V2 (newly developed high frequency unit) with a dispersion of 50° horizontal and 45° vertical is an absolute novelty in the combination of line source and point source technologies. The QF 5045 V2 contains a high frequency unit with 4 x 1“ HF drivers which are coherently working on a waveguide guaranteeing a precise dispersion and seamless transition of the high frequencies between the array elements. The mid range system is a direct radiating 12“ neodymium speaker. In this system the requirements for compact dimensions, high SPL and defined dispersion of a line array are combined in a symbiosis. The tonal tuning enables the operation of the 2-way system as full-range system or as mid/high system within a powerful PA combination. The QF 5045 V2 is optimized for clustering of maximum three units both in groundstacking and flying mode. Furthermore, thanks to the integrated flange, the operation on a high stand is possible.
