TT+ Audio’s Dynamic Sound Architecture Created An Immersive Atmosphere For 50,000+ Attendees At China’s Premier Music Festival.

The Baoding Qian Chong Lang Music Festival, also known as the Emma·Star-Chasing Thousand Waves Music Carnival, was an unforgettable musical celebration held on October 19th and 20th, 2024, in Baoding, China. Attracting over 50,000 attendees, the festival brought together an impressive roster of renowned artists and rising talents, spanning genres from pop and rock to rap. With performances from musical icons like Yang Kun and Wu Kequn, alongside popular bands such as Landlord’s Cat and Wild Si, the event provided an eclectic blend of sounds that catered to a wide range of musical tastes, establishing itself as a pivotal cultural moment in China’s vibrant music scene.

Beyond the music, the festival was a spectacle in itself, showcasing cutting-edge production values and a visually enchanting performance stage. The highlight of the event, however, was its state-of-the-art audio setup, which was powered by TT+ Audio, a leading name in live sound technology. The world-class soundscape that graced the festival ensured that every note, beat, and lyric resonated perfectly across the event grounds, making the Baoding Qian Chong Lang Music Festival not just a visual feast but an aural one as well.

At the heart of the festival’s unparalleled sound experience was TT+ Audio’s premier audio system, which played a crucial role in delivering crystal-clear sound that captivated the audience. The main array comprised 36 units of the GTX-12 line array modules and 18 units of the GTX-10 line array modules, all meticulously positioned to cover the vast open space of the festival. The thoughtful loudspeaker system design ensured that every corner of the event space was bathed in high-quality sound, with precision coverage that amplified every performance, no matter how large or small the crowd.

Supporting the main line array was an equally impressive low-frequency reinforcement solution, which featured 33 units of the GTS-29 subwoofers arranged in an electronically curved array of 11 stacks. Each stack consisted of three subwoofers arranged in a cardioid configuration. This arrangement, combined with the RDNet for real-time monitoring and tuning, resulted in a controlled and well-distributed bass experience. The low-end frequencies were deep and tactile, filling the venue with a powerful bass presence that could be felt through the ground, but not at the cost of overwhelming the sound or the performers on stage. The precision and clarity of the bass delivery made the festival an immersive experience for attendees, adding to the overall festival energy.

The integration of advanced amplification technology was also key to the success of the sound system. TT+ Audio deployed 9 units of the TTR 16K system ampracks which housed a total of over 27 units of the XPS 16K power amplifiers. This robust setup ensured seamless power distribution and consistent performance stability throughout the event. The system’s resilience under the intense demands of a live outdoor music festival made it capable of handling the ever-changing dynamics of live sound, from the energetic peaks of the rock performances to the subtle nuances of acoustic sets.

Jiang Chao, General Manager of CDSTAGE – the official distributor for TT+ Audio in China – shared his satisfaction with the performance of the system, stating, “Our team at CDSTAGE is very happy with the results. This is the best line array we have ever deployed in our events, and the setup was flawless. With the success of the Baoding Qian Chong Lang Music Festival, TT+ Audio demonstrated its commitment to delivering top-tier audio experiences. We look forward to enhancing many successful events of this musical quality and audience size in the future.”

This glowing endorsement highlights not only the quality of the equipment but also the strong relationship between the sound providers and the festival’s organisers. Such collaborations are crucial in ensuring that the technical aspects of a live event are executed to perfection, which was evident in the smooth-running operation of the Baoding Qian Chong Lang Music Festival.
