FRENCH RENTAL FIRM DIGITEAC FIELDS JBL VERTEC^® SYSTEM AND NEW JBL VP SERIES PREMIUM PORTABLE LOUDSPEAKERS FOR GENEVA'S FESTILAC 2006

NORTHRIDGE, CALIFORNIA, July 11, 2006 -- The Festilac 2006
festival, staged in Geneva, Switzerland June 21-24, was serviced
by innovative French sound rental company, Digiteac Industrie
with JBL VERTEC, VRX and VP Series loudspeaker systems.
Festilac's producers and talent programmers place a special
focus on international vocal artists, and this year's lineup
highlighted international pop, rock, R&B, acoustic and a capella
vocal artists from many different nations ranging from Cuba
to Indonesia. Featured talent included Banarama (U.K.),
Daniela Mercury (Brasil), Bettye Lavette (USA) and Jean-Pierre
Mader (France).

Digiteac's primary sound reinforcement solution for the critically
acclaimed event was the JBL VERTEC system, comprising 16
VT4888 midsize line array elements and eight VT4880 full-size
arrayable subwoofers. Powering the main system were 20 Crown
I-Tech rack-mounted amplifiers, linked by Digiteac's tour-grade
patching system. Four Crown I-T8000 were used to power the
JBL VT4880 subwoofers, with eight I-T6000's and eight I-T4000's
allocated for the 3-way JBL VT4888 midsize line array elements.

Signal processing was accomplished with two BSS Omnidrive
FDS366T system controllers. Lexicon multi-effects and dbx
graphic equalizers were included in the festival package. JBL's
SRX712M's were used for onstage monitoring, with VRX932LA's
deployed for frontfill units. In addition, JBL's Venue Performance
Series premium powered loudspeakers with JBL DrivePackÆ
technology made their European festival debut at this year's
event. Digiteac used new JBL VP7315DP-AN's for stage-area
fill speakers, relying upon Harman Professional's System
Architect software for remote control and monitoring of the
HiQnet-compatible audio products onsite.

"After a first test last year, which was more than convincing, we
decided to purchase a complete JBL VERTEC system, combining
the speakers, Crown amplification and BSS Omnidrive signal
processors into an integrated event-ready package," advised
Digiteac's Jean Michel Clement. "AKG, BSS, Crown, dbx JBL,
Lexicon and Soundcraft audio products have always been
appreciated by our technicians and clients. In view of our wish
to provide globally accepted solutions, and in order to integrate
a high-quality line array system into our inventory, we naturally
turned to the JBL VERTEC system. The result has been totally
satisfying during the 2006 Festilac event in Geneva."

Based in Chateau Gaillard, France, Digiteac Industrie is an
integrated production services company offering staging,
projection, lighting and audio services. "The ability to meet the
discriminating needs of international touring artists in all aspects
of their technical production requirements is a rare talent,"
observed David Scheirman, Vice President, Tour Sound for JBL
Professional. "The audio team and rental inventory assembled
by Jean Michel Clement is highly representative of the well-
rounded production-service organizations now emerging to
meet the quality-oriented needs of event promoters, and the
touring production staffs and audiences which they serve."
