The main stage was the 1,000-capacity jazz tent, which was equipped with four stacks of HK Audio R-Series plus DFC amp racks, supplied by Triple A. For monitors, a total of seven HK Audio SM 112 II, two VT 115 Xs and an SM 212 for drum fill were used. Toon Dekkers, owner of Triple A, commented: "We have been working with HK Audio material for several years and we are again and again enthusiastic about the versatility of R-Series. Some people consider R-Series as a pure rock ’n’ roll system, but this PA is also perfectly suitable for jazz and classic events."
In the smaller venue, Beursplein, Triple A used HK Audio T-Series, comprising four VT 112 II F and HL 118 subwoofers each. For the gospel concert with Madeleine Bell, the Gertrudis Church in Bergen op Zoom was equipped with flown VT 112 II F and VT 108s. For an additional concert on Saturday evening in the ‘Lievevrouwestraat’, rental company Partner Audio used an active HK Audio Projector System as well as monitors from the Premium Series. Johan Meerman of the Dutch HK Audio distributor Wils Muziekimport said: "The jazz festival was great promotion for us. All artists were very satisfied and even the press praised the sound during the festival."
