NEXO SOUNDS OUT INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL OF HAMMAMET

A VERSATILE GEO M6 COMPACT LINE ARRAY SOUNDTRACKS THE TUNISIAN FESTIVAL’S MAIN STAGE.

The 56th International Festival of Hammamet brought together a host of global artists for a diverse programme of events taking place over a five-week period last summer.

The sound system for a main stage that would see performances ranging from opera and orchestral to jazz and rap was a NEXO GEO M6 compact line array, deployed by local events services specialists, Sybel Event Company.

Hangs of nine GEO M620 cabinets on either side of the stage were each complemented by ground stacks of two NEXO LS15 and two LS18 subs, with six NEXO ID24 and two IDS110 used as front fills. Amplification and processing for the FOH system came from three NEXO NXAMP4X1 and a NXAMP4X4 powered TD controller.

Fle xibility was key to an onstage monitoring system that would have to adapt quickly to very different groups of performers, so 20 NEXO PS15 point source cabinets were available, along with two LS1200 and two LS18 subs to create drum monitors and side fills, all powered by 22 NEXO DTDAMP1.3s with DTD controllers.

“T he venue was quite difficult to deal with as it is very large like an ancient theatre,” recalled Sound Engineer, Ahmed Mohamed El Fekih –commenting on behalf of Sybel Event Company. “The most amazing thing about NEXO is the versatility and compatibility of all speakers from the different ranges,” he added.

“I and every engineer who came to the festival was amazed by the harmony between the different components. The sound was clear and clean, fitting the many different styles of music. Everyone was pleased by the power and quality from such a small system.”
