The first deployments of the N8000-1500 in major productions - Jan Smit's concerts in Rotterdam's Ahoy and Sarah Brightman's US tour at the end of 2008 - proved convincing. The system permitted the sound crews in each case to run the entire rig - including delays - with EV Netmax and FIR-Drive (Finite Impulse Response Filters), while the devices were controlled via IRIS-Net.
Gert Wiersema, the system technician for the Jan Smit tour and a long-time Electro-Voice user,comments: "the new EV N8000-1500 with its FIR-Drive presets actually takes audio to a completely new level. It delivers unbelievable power and the system remains in balance even at the highest sound pressure levels."
