Sweden - Located some 640km north of the Swedish capital and known as the City of Birches, Umeå in north-eastern Sweden is famous for its museums and cultural institutions, and also as the home of two universities.
The local population swells considerably when more than 36,000 students return after the summer break and this year, new students were welcomed by Sommarfesten, a two-day festival staged by local promoters Festverket AB.
The line-up of popular Scandinavian artists included Swedish band LOV1 and rappers Tjuvjakt, along with Norwegian duo Søte og Rare Gutter and singer Fjellrev, performing on a stage rigged with a Nexo Geo M12 sound system by technical services company LLV Nordic who made the trip from the nearby city of Skellefteå.
The system comprised left and right hangs of six Nexo Geo M12 with eight Nexo MSUB18 on the ground in a sub array. Nexo’s industry-standard and ultra-versatile P12 point source speakers performed roles as both front-fills and wedge monitors in a system powered entirely by Nexo NXAMPMk2 Powered TD Controllers.
Commenting on the performance of the Geo M12 system with characteristic straightforwardness, LLV Nordic owner Hence Wikström says: “That’s some good stuff!”
