China opens the festival season – and in fact more or less reopens the whole event industry after the COV-19 shutdown with a bang. The EV EDM Festival 2020 at the Happy Valley Theme Park in Shanghai is one of the first big events celebrating electronic dance music – not only in China but in fact worldwide since more than 100 days. Every seriously meant EDM party challenges the gear requiring a high sound pressure level, a robust low end and – especially in China – a clean and nice looking stage. But if the party lasts more than 50 days and takes action during the rain season in Shanghai, you have to find a reliable partner with a good plan and real workhorses when it comes to gear. The choice fell on SE Audiotechnik with its super-compact, yet powerful M-Line exclusively. Overall more than 126 Speakers have been utilized on the main stage.
