This year’s JZ Festival is the largest in the event’s history, bringing more than 100 musicians from over 20 countries and regions to Shanghai to witness146 performances and industry forums at 13 venues with over 17 days, including 146 performances and industry forums at 13 venues with main stage sound from a Nexo Geo-M line array system provided by Shanghai Haoyun Intelligent Technology.
Event headliners include 5-time Grammy Award-winner Victor Wooten & The Wooten Brothers, Chinese soul diva Yuan Yawei (Tia Ray), renowned American jazz trumpeter Theo Croker, celebrated German jazz drummer Wolfgang Haffner and American composer and multi-instrumentalist Don Byron.
For the PA, left and right hangs of six Geo-M12 provided uniform soundfield coverage, supplemented by Nexo MSub18s to extend system LF performance. ‘We are using P15 point-source speakers to make sure that front row audience members also enjoy a rich, clear detail, preserving listening experience’ says Shanghai Haoyun Sales & Marketing Manager, Alvin Lu. ‘This fills in the coverage gaps that exist in the near field area of the main sound system and ensures that the sound pressure distribution is more uniform and consistent across the entire venue.
‘As far as stage sound reinforcement is concerned, Nexo PS15 full-range speakers provide musicians with a precise listening environment. The PS Series’ classic stage presence and high gain front end feedback suppression ensure that every musician can clearly monitor their own performance and the band’s nuances, allowing them to perform freely during improvisation and to establish a seamless rapport with the audience.’
As exclusive fixed installation agent for Nexo in Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, Shanghai Haoyun Intelligent Technology provides professional equipment and also a technical team to accompany a project throughout. From equipment transportation to site installation to system commissioning, the technical team completes each process with a rigorous professionalism and accurately calibrates the acoustic properties and performance requirements of the festival site. The team and the festival organisers ensured the system operated consistently throughout the event.
