FEZ, MOROCCO —Filali Music recently deployed their new JBL VerTec system at one of Morocco’s annual events, “Festival des Musiques Sacrées du Mondeo, Fes, 2007,” at Bab Boujloud, a city square in the historical Moroccan city of Fez.
The main stage system setup included 12 VerTec VT4888 midsize line array elements (six per side) and eight VT4880 arrayable subwoofers (four per side). System processing was handled by a dbx 4800 loudspeaker system controller, in combination with JBL’s DSP files.
“We were very satisfied with the first use of our new JBL VerTec system at the Fez Festival of World Sacred Music, not only with its output capabilities, but also with its musical quality,” noted Yousef Filali, owner of Filali Music. “Bab Boujloud is a vast area and can accommodate an audience of several thousand people. Our first event with VerTec was a real success.”
This year marked the 13th annual Festival des Musiques Sacrées du Mondeo, or “Fez Festival of World Sacred Music.” International artists included Johnny Clegg, Angelique Kidjo, and more. The Festival draws thousands of visitors each year to celebrate Islamic heritage in Morocco’s ancient holy city. The event not only features international musical talent, but also brings together politicians, religious leaders and social academics to discuss urgent sociopolitical issues.
