CHINA: The Shanghai Symphony Orchestra recently performed China’s first Iosono 3D outdoor concert at Shanghai’s North Bund. After establishing Iosono China in May this year, Iosono and SWD Group’s joint venture has since taken a big step forward in spearheading 3D sound events in China.
The 90-piece orchestra was reinforced using an Iosono 3D sound system specifically configured to give a ‘crystal clear’ listening experience to every audience member.
The concert was cited to be the highlight of this year’s Shanghai International Arts Festival, with the acclaimed orchestra playing a variety of Chinese and European classics for an audience of 700. The event was supported by the Shanghai Municipal and Hongkou District offices, and was broadcast on the Shanghai Art Channel.
‘This concert definitely broke new ground in China,’ said Chen Guangxian, head of the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra. ‘With outdoor concerts, creating a good sound quality is always a big problem. This 3D sound concert has solved the problem – the sound was incredibly clear. It was a huge improvement.’
‘Besides using normal speakers above the orchestra as one might find in typical events like this, our team used additional speakers surrounding the audience and overhead to add reverberation, creating a concert hall without walls,’ explained Jeff Levison, VP of Iosono China.
