1 Sound sponsors Meet Music Festival
- Details
This year’s two-day event was held in Follonica at Casello Hydraulico and had six sponsors including Red Bull, Sounder, and premium loudspeaker brand, 1 Sound.
At this year’s Meet Music Festival, there were four contests in collaboration with Red Bull, Grey Cat Jazz Festival, Claps Records & Tartara and Higher Sound & Follsonica that highlighted four different genres of music, from deep house to Hip Hop and Trap. The jury was made up of professionals such as Renato Tanchis (A&R Sony Music) and Pierangelo Mauri (historical music editor) who selected three finalists for each of the four contests. The 12 finalists performed live at the two-day event.
Mods Art, 1 Sound’s Italian distributor delivered the equipment with a technician who set up the audio. For the DJ monitors, there was a 1 Sound Contour System consisting of a Contour CT28 on an Active Tube to stand on top of a SUB12 for either side of the DJ. The CT28 had the Contour Rigging System attached for ease of aiming the top loudspeaker.
For the main sound system, they used a Tower system, consisting of a Tower LCC84 and SUB310 per side. The system covered the necessary throw as well as the wide coverage of seats, being that the LCC84 has a 120º wide dispersion.
The winners of the competition receive the opportunity to perform their own music at the Club House, the private part of the historic Tartara in Follonica, one of the most historic Italian discos, and at the official Highersound evening, produced by Follsonica. The winner of the Pop Dance contest, in collaboration with Redbull, gets to perform at a Redbull brand event.
