Acclaimed performance from the G20 Hangzhou Summit deploys
cutting-edge audio solutions by JBL, Soundcraft, Crown and BSS for its highly anticipated
public debut
HANGZHOU, China—Impression Wonders Arts Development Co., Ltd. recently deployed a complete HARMAN
Professional Solutions audio system for the public debut of “Most Memorable Is
Hangzhou.”
Staged with Hangzhou’s famous West
Lake in the background, “Most Memorable Is Hangzhou” was originally created to
welcome visitors to the opening gala of the 2016 G20 Hangzhou Summit. The G20 performance
became an international sensation and even received praise from Chinese President
Xi Jinping for its innovative visuals, breathtaking stage design and stunning
musical performances.
Thanks to strong interest from
the public, Impression Wonders Arts Development and director Zhang Yimou created
a new version of “Most Memorable is Hangzhou” with enhanced visuals, interactive
effects and an updated audio system design by Mr. Jin Shaogang, a legend in the
Chinese audio industry.
The production presented
several unique challenges. The seating capacity for the public performance increased
from 1,200 to 2,000 with the addition of 800 retractable seats. Additionally,
the seating was distributed sporadically throughout the venue, making it
difficult to achieve consistent audio coverage. Furthermore, the audio system
was deployed on the water in two boats, so it needed to withstand the elements.
Shaogang selected JBL VTX
Series speakers, JBL AE Series speakers and JBL EON Series speakers to deliver
a premium audio experience that would match the show’s stunning visuals. The
entire system was powered by Crown I-Tech HD Series amplifiers, and mixed using
Soundcraft Vi Series digital mixing consoles and BSS digital audio processors.
HARMAN distributor ACE provided the audio solutions.
