Lead Audio Systems Engineer — Koningsdag, Dokkum (2026)
Designed and deployed the audio systems for Koningsdag (King’s Day) celebrations in Dokkum, with attendance reaching approximately 21,000 against a venue capacity of 22,500. Responsible for system design, deployment strategy and management of the audio crew across the mainstage and city-wide programme.
The mainstage system comprised 16 d&b KSL elements per side with SL-Series subs, supported by V-Series in- and outfills, covering an audience area approximately 65 metres deep by 50 metres wide. The audience area included a VIP deck at the rear, alongside additional decks for press and visitors with reduced mobility. System control was handled via LMX88 DSP, with a Luminex network distributing audio to all amplifiers across the site.
Beyond the mainstage, deployed a range of smaller systems throughout the city along the event route, from standalone V7P point sources with compact subs through to stacked CCL rigs, adapting system scale and configuration to the requirements of each location.
Operated the mainstage for three additional days of concerts beyond Koningsdag itself, running FOH on an Allen & Heath S5000 alongside providing systems support for visiting guest engineers.
