All mains speakers to be flown, none ground stacked, to eliminate the possibility of rowdy crowdsknocking over equipment2) Coverage, for a minimum audience area 200’ wide and 350’ deepa. This defined area has a capacity for 11,000+ attendees, and can be adjusted as needed3) System output must exceed 100 dbA capability for entire audience area4) Low variance, minimum acceptable standard being +/- 3dba. Low variance describes a condition where every attendee has the same experience, which requiressound to be consistent in both tone and volume throughout the venue5) Light weight systems, to minimize trucks and heavy equipment on park lawn6) Monitoring and control, with the ability to monitor output level and angle of every speaker at all times to ensureconsistent performance and quality In addition, AENW will provide:1) Wireless signal available to broadcast to delay speakersa. Delays will be needed if audience area needs to be extendedb. With a throw distance in excess of 200’, delays may be used to mitigate effects of windc. Wireless system can transmit 1,000’2) Standard festival package of microphones, stands, cables, monitors, to accommodate live bands for eachevent
