Pierrick Burgin and Hugues Mongrand are founders and the managing directors of Concept Audio. "The Y18 did not disappoint, our techs and customers were in heaven", comments Burgin recalling the early days of line arrays. As Adamson started to make the new Energia system's details public, Concept Audio kept in close contact with Adamson's French distributors DV2, about becoming a member of the Energia Network. Recently Concept Audio had the opportunity to join Project Energia and jumped at the chance.
The first Concept gig with the E15 system was Spring Fest promoted by FM Radio Allouette, taking place outdoors for an audience of about 27,000 people. They put up 24 of their E15 boxes, 12 aside, and used 6 T21 Subs in cardioid mode per side on the ground.
In weeks to come E15 will appear on various outdoor festivals including Hellfest Summer Open Air 2012 and on shows with Johnny Clegg, Sinsemilia, and as a cross-rental for Audiolite at Brest Maritime Festival 2012, and the Bobital Festival.
