Stupendous audio system

No need to wait until the tune “Charlie be quiet – No more drama” by Charlie Puth played, thousands of people who were early present at Hon Tre island felt the difference of 8Wonder compared to other music festivals right from the first note by DJ Mie. Visitors, no matter in which corner of the stage, were all amazed by the excellent sound quality with perfect resonance and clearance, and accurately conveying every note to all directions.

According to Phung Kien, a sound engineer, who is currently working at a music theater in Hanoi, it sounds simple but is an extremely difficult problem because in an open space like Hon Tre island, the sound often encounters many obstructing factors such as wind, noise, etc. In addition, because there is no reflective surface, the sound in open areas is often “flat” and thin.

To have the top-notch music quality as mentioned above, in addition to the extremely powerful audio system to “override” all obstacles, 8Wonder also used a modern system with the ability to accurately convey the sound of each instrument, especially solo part of guitar, drum, synth, bass… to audiences in all positions perfectly.

A source from the organizers of 8Wonder said that, to ensure the best experience, the organizer has successfully imported from the US the entire sound system from the center speaker to the front speaker system and side speakers at the venue. vaudeville. More important than the “heart” of the audio system – the console.

To ensure the connection and mixing, creating the best sound source, VinWonders has specially ordered the DS5 console system, which is shipped directly from the US to Vietnam. Although the specific price has not been revealed, according to Phung Kien, the original US price of this device has also reached billions, not to mention the significant cost to import to Vietnam.

“This is a system that has never appeared in Vietnam, in any music event before. The high-class speaker system is reasonably arranged, so it feels like listening to music in the top of the dome theater. It is extremely difficult to do this on an outdoor stage, next to the sea. My friends watching the livestream (live broadcast) also praised it,” said Kien.

Along with the stupendous control system, tons of other audio devices also crossed the ocean to Hon Tre island. According to calculations, up to 16 tons of audio equipment were on the island, of which 5 tons were from the US directly to Nha Trang – unprecedented  numbers at any music event in Vietnam.

The level of the “model concert” 8Wonder

In addition to audio, the “music party” at 8Wonder also left an unforgettable impression in the hearts of fans with amazing visuals. Those were colorful light strips like a rainbow across the stage, covering Prince Charlie Puth, or when the majestic stage of more than 10,000 square meters transformed continuously into diverse tones with each melody.

To do this, few people know that two extremely rare MA3 peak light control systems were transported to Hon Tre island. Industry insiders said that in Vietnam there are only three of these stupendous console systems and two of them were brought to 8Wonder to ensure eye-catching performances.
