UK - An L-Acoustics V-Dosc line source array system was used by Britannia Row for the MTV Europe Music Awards featuring Beyonce, Duffy, Kid Rock, Pink, The Killers, Take That, Kanye West and The Wombats, held at the Liverpool Echo Arena.

As the show was being broadcast on MTV, the system needed to be concealed as far as possible, so it couldn't be too large or obtrusive. Despite these constraints, it also needed to be powerful, provide good dispersion and be able to work with different types of rock and pop music.

Ten V-Dosc line source and three dV-Dosc compact line source cabinets were used per side for the main hangs, with eight SB218 subwoofers per side, 12 dV-Doscs per side as side-hangs, three dV-SUB compact subwoofer hangs per side, four SB218s per side as side sub-hangs, six V-DOSC per side for rear-hangs, a rear sub stack of four SB218s and 12 MTD108s around the stage for front-fill. The complete system was driven by LA amplifier racks.
