The best boutique festival in the world

Performances by:

Lionel Richie
Iggy Pop
Tom Jones
Luis Fonsi
Yusuf/ Cat Stevens
The Black Eyed Peas
Norah Jones
Rod Stewart
Ricky Martin
Gipsy Kings
Anastacia

… the list goes on

The venue
A quarry turned amphitheatre

HOLOPLOT 3D Audio Beamforming technology addressed all the challenges posed by the transformed quarry site location of the festival and stage setup, including:

Reflections from the quarry walls
A steeply raked seating area
Low stage height
A VIP area positioned at a 90-degree angle to the stage

A left / right X1 system was able to cover all areas efficiently, without exciting the surrounding quarry walls, keeping the audio effortlessly clean and targeted for the entire audience.

The system's audio distribution enables us to sustain optimal sound levels without pushing the speakers to their maximum capacity. In fact, during the show, I asked engineers to estimate the SPL they thought they were mixing at, and many of them were surprised to find that the meters were only reading 92 dB.”
