Lead Audio Systems Engineer — TT Festival Assen (2025–2026)
Designed, specified and deployed the main festival audio system for the TT Festival Assen, supporting an event footprint reaching 295,000 visitors across the festival period. Responsible for system design, deployment strategy, optimisation and management of the audio crew, delivering a d&b audiotechnik KSL/V system across a large-scale outdoor production environment.
The main audience system covered a depth of approximately 100 metres. For 2026, this expanded to include a VIP viewing deck at the rear of the audience area — with a secondary stage positioned just 40 metres behind it. That proximity created a real constraint: deliver full-quality coverage to the VIP deck without spilling energy into the stage behind it.
Using d&b ArrayCalc with ArrayProcessing and level avoidance, I shaped the system’s dispersion to hold consistent coverage through to the VIP deck while sharply attenuating output behind it. The result was clean acoustic separation between the two stages, achieved without compromising the main system’s long-throw performance.
I ran deployment and crew operations from initial design through to show delivery.
