SOUND & COMMUNICATION 53
A Mnesia 25th-anniversary audio-visual installation. Other high-profile events rely on new technology to boost their shows. The Vision and Colour Music Festival (VAC) is a prime example. The two-day electronic music event featured international artists such as Calvin Harris, Chris Lake, Illenium, DJ Snake and Excision. For the event, pro audio technology company Adamson debuted its new Vergence Group Series. With large crowds and an open-air environment, the challenge was less about precise object-based spatialisation and more about maintaining consistency and impact across a wide listening area. Systems provided by Real Music Acoustics and Lighting Technology utilised Adamson’s VGt line arrays as well as VGs subwoofers to deliver even coverage throughout the site. In these kinds of environments, factors such as weather conditions, audience density and scale can significantly affect how sound is perceived. As spatial audio develops, it changes not just how we hear sound, but also how we feel and move through spaces. Whether it’s a live show, installation or planetarium, sound is becoming a far more active part of the experience, not something that sits in the background.
