Stonefield rocks hard with Quest HPI and QM450a

The Australian rock band Stonefield is an Australian rock band made up of four very musically talented sisters from a small town in rural Victoria. The band won national radio station Triple J Unearthed contest in 2010 with their song "Foreign Lover". After the win the band was placed on high rotation and they recorded Through The Clover with ARIA winning producer Greg Wales and have gone on to greater popular and critical acclaim.

The band recently played at the grand opening of a new Melbourne mega music store owned by well known industry identity Gary Hyde. The opening featured numerous live bands across the weekend and with the caliber of acts on the bill, a high quality sound system was required. An ultra compact Quest sound system did the job with plenty of reserve and both the bands and musician audiences were seriously impressed by the high output and sonic quality from such a physically small sound system.

The fold-back system was the new Quest QM 450a series powered boxes which needed very little EQ to keep up with the high stage volume you would expect with a live rock band.

The asymmetrical horn flares in the QM450a can be rotated into fold-back monitor mode and in this configuration, “hot spots” are virtually eliminated. The QM450a was conceived and designed with A/V rental companies in mind and is becoming a real winner for multi-purpose applications.
