Rat Sound Systems Rocks Coachella and Stagecoach with Outline NewtonRat Sound Systems continues its tradition of delivering exceptional audio experiences at Coachella and Stagecoach, some of the largest, most famous, and most profitable music festivals in the US and the world. With the Outline Newton FPGA-based processing platform powering the festival's audio systems for another successful year, Rat Sound Systems reaffirms its commitment to setting the standard for live sound reinforcement. Since its debut at Coachella in 2019, the Outline [patented] Newton processor has been a cornerstone of Rat Sound Systems' audio setup, consistently delivering unparalleled performance and versatility. Dave Rat, sound system designer, sound engineer and president of Rat Sound Systems, highlights the critical role of the Newton processor in their audio distribution: "We use [Outline] Newton in our master distribution racks. I do believe all of our stages have it as we use the Newton to tie into the event security override system with the GPIO. The racks they're in are our master drive racks that convert just about any format to any other format, analog, Dante, AVB, AES, fiber or RJ45 inputs and outputs. Switching between consoles and delay cluster distribution." The complete lineup of 2024 Coachella performers featured over 150 artists across six stages, with one of the most globally representative and genre-diverse lineups in years. Presented the following weekend in the same location, its sister production The Stagecoach Festival is the world's premier event for folk, mainstream country, bluegrass, roots rock, americana and alt. country.
