CANNES, FRANCE — At this year’s 60th anniversary of the Cannes Film Festival, Meyer Sound signed on as a sponsor of the Cannes Legend celebration, employing the new, self-powered UPJunior ultracompact VariO loudspeaker to deliver audio to the esteemed guests and performers.
Paris-based Dispatch supplied the audio equipment for Cannes Legend, including four UPJunior loudspeakers and four USW-1P compact subwoofers for a tented dance floor on the beach, six UPJunior cabinets on the terrace surrounding the tent, and four more UPJunior units at the hotel’s seafront garden where another tent hosted a series of smaller gatherings.
Versatility was of key importance in choosing the Meyer Sound system, according to Dispatch Technical Director Marc de Fouquières. “The loudspeakers were used for press conferences and spoken presentations during the day, animation screenings in the evenings, and DJ parties all night long,” he says. “The Meyer cabinets were the best choice for focusing the sound. The self-powered design enabled us ato control the level of each speaker individually, giving us high SPL where it was needed, while allowing us to minimize the spillover into other areas. And the cabinets’ small size was important to us in making the most of a limited space.”
Cannes Legend is an exclusive weeklong spree of animation screenings, presentations, fashion shows and trés chic soirees held in conjunction with the festival itself.
