D.A.S. Aero 48 Systems at the Observatori Festival in Valencia
The Artistic Investigation Festival, known as ‘Observatori’, was recently held at the Prince Phillip Museum at the City of the Arts and Sciences of Valencia. After five years, this multi-disciplinary, cross-media event has become one of Europe’s most renowned experimental festivals.
A 30 x 40 metre venue was set up alongside the visually striking building that makes up Valencia’s City of the Arts and Sciences. Concerts were held every night of the three-day event with a daily attendance of over 3,500 visitors. The 15 metre wide stage and the D.A.S. Aero 48 line array sound reinforcement systems were provided by Valencia based sound rental company Acustic Crom, S.L.
Six Aero 48 large format line array systems were flown from the truss at a height of six metres and the built-in rigging hardware facilitated the installation of the systems in the venue. According to Ricardo Mascarell, director of Acustic Crom and sound engineer with decades of experience, “The great performance of the Aero systems was seen this spring at the Fallas festivals and this was no different. The sound engineers of the invited artists were very impressed by the high output, great sound and even coverage of the Aero 48’s.”
The Observatori is a festival in which artists risk and experiment and converge and interrelate in a programme centred around new artistic tendencies. In this event, music, net-art, design, performances and creative videos all have a place. This year’s theme was entitled ‘Cultures of Migration’, reflecting the new interpersonal relationships brought on by today’s multi-cultural societies.
