Martin Audio takes active role in Japan’s first immersive outdoor music festival

Hoshioto Camp 23, which took place recently at Budou Romankan in the Japanese Prefecture of Okayama, became the first outdoor music festival in Japan to introduce immersive sound. Therefore, local sound rental company Bright Co. Ltd., who had originally invested in Martin Audio’s WPC system back in 2020, upgraded the event’s main speaker system.

WPC was recommended as the overall fit, after evaluation against other systems. Kazuyuki Oshita, president of Bright Co. Ltd., says that one of the reasons why he recommended the system to the organisers was its ability to deliver consistency of sound across the area, and to mitigate against noise pollution by being able to contain the energy within the sound field, due to Martin Audio’s proprietary Display control software.

The sixteen principal WPC boxes were powered by Martin Audio’s multi-channel iK42 amplifiers, and to create the full immersion an end-to-end Martin Audio solution was specified, including eight XD15, four SX218 subwoofers, six XP12 and various XE300, and Adorn A55 enclosures.

Various other local rental suppliers, introduced to the main contractors by Martin Audio Japan, also tapped into their inventories to complete the complement required, which also included Spat Revolution processing. These included Super 4, Music Reserve, Freeway and Network Papa.
