The system was provided by Lombardi SLR, the first full service hire company in Italy to purchase E15's and join the growing global team of Energia rental companies. Based in Termoli, located on the Adriatic Sea, Lombardi carries a sizable existing Adamson inventory of Y18, Y10, T21 Sub, SpekTrix, Metrix, M15 & M215 monitors.
Historically Lombardi has worked with some of the biggest names in Italian touring including Gigi D'alessio, Anna Tatangelo, and provided sound production for high profile events such as Umbria Jazz & Notte Della Taranta.
Reference Laboratory is in charge of all audio production at Umbria and turned to Cristiano Grassini, Lombardi FOH and systems engineer to take the lead as the head of sound on the main stage - Arena Santa Giuliana.
Artists such as Herbie Hancock, Pat Metheny, Sonny Rollins, Chick Corea, John Scofield, Al Jarreau, and Erykah Badu, played at this year's event.
Angelo Tordini of Reference Laboratory comments, "The closing show of the festival featured a highly acclaimed show by Sting. We received great reviews about the sound from the festival organizers, as well as the local and visiting engineers."
The Lombardi S.L.R. E15's are currently on the Gigi D'Alessio world tour supporting his new album, Chiaro.
