Yo no asisti en esta ocacion al concierto por trabajo pero compañeros que si lo hicieron me comentaron que el show es uno de los mejores que han visto pero que el sonido dejo mucho que desear, ya que el estadio les quedo muy grande para el sistema que traian.
Segun un articulo que encontre en internet sobre el audio que usa U2 en la gira Vertigo, mencionan que el sistema se diseño para una gira de arenas o estadios pequeños por lo que supongo que al tratar de alinear el sistema para las necesidades del estadio les quedo muy corto todo.
Aqui les dejo un fragmento de ese articulo
"For the second time, U2 are touring with Clair Brothers' JBL-loaded i-4/i-4B line array system, processed by the Clair iO wireless system control that was co-designed with Lake Technologies. Powered by Clair-modified Crest 9004, QSC 9.0 and Carver 2.0 amps, this system required some adjustments at San Diego Sports Arena, because of the venue's low ceiling and O'Herlihy wasn't best pleased with the poor acoustics of the arena either.
"It's not doing me any favors!," he laughed. "Where we did production rehearsals in Vancouver, the arena is a full-on 20,000 capacity facility with the proper trim height. So you get the full value of your system from a distribution perspective, and you get the aesthetic value of it locking in with the rest of the production. Fortunately, once we leave San Diego we'll mostly be playing venues that compliment the sound design."
Flown on a custom 360° indoor hanging system, the PA is divided into a main left and right front system, a left/right side fill system and rear fill, with 12 Showco Prism ground sub-basses. "On this particular occasion we’ve come up with a very interesting way of distributing the rear fill," commented O'Herlihy. "We’ve got, left and right, two clusters of eight P4s per cluster. We have an up tilt and a down tilt, which basically gives us incredible distribution and dispersion so it’s extremely even across 180°. There's no cross-referencing, no hotspots, and when you walk the length of the back of the bleacher section behind the stage it’s very transparent. It’s all down to a clever usage of rigging, and it’s helped hugely because you need something that’s going to throw immediately rather than require distance for it to be functioning at its best."
The central pit — variously described as Club Atomic or the Bomb Shelter — benefits from Clair FF2 front fill speakers which are attached to the entire stage perimeter and are also attached to the ellipse perimeter. This results in a club-style atmosphere where the sound has a close, intimate feel in contrast to the general arena ambience.
Although it's a similar system to Elevation, O'Herlihy pointed out that things had in fact moved on. "The general placement of loudspeakers and the rear fill are all completely different because of updated technology. Also, the front fill and all of the stage perimeter and the ellipse perimeter equipment has all been specifically designed for this tour."
