The system consisted of six LA212x along with six LAs418 Double subwoofers ground-stacked in each stage complemented with PX System as side fill on Street Dance, ten active stage monitors Lam114xA and two HFA108 as front fill on EDP Rock Street.

According Carlos Cruz, the sound engineer for EDP Rock Street, “the system was providing consistent coverage and clarity response from front to back of the audience.”
