MilTec TP12 speakers at Glastonbury

Once again MilTec (UK) Ltd worked with South West Audio Group to supply equipment for the Glastonbury Festival.

A dozen of the MT Pro Acoustics MTA-TP12 speakers were bought by SWA Group for use as monitor wedges on the BBC Introducing Stage. They were chosen by SWA Group’s MD Alister Pook after a demo at their HQ near Bristol.

The multi-purpose cabinets are intended to double as both PA speakers and stage wedges, with a 45 degree slope incorporated into the design. SWA Group needed a 60 degree slope for this particular application and worked with MilTec to develop an adaptor bracket to change the angle of projection. The bracket bolts on using two of the speaker’s built-in flying points. This allows the speaker to be directed upwards at 60 degrees or horizontally as FOH fills or drum monitors.

Designed by MilTec’s Technical Director, Graham Gosden, the birch ply cabinets are loaded with a 12” cone and a 1.7” polypropylene compression driver. They are rated at 350WRMS with a maximum output of 124dB.

After the show, Alister Pook commented- “They voiced up really easily and there were no feedback problems- a great looking and sounding box. The engineers didn’t have a bad word to say about them”
