The public address of the evening was successful also thanks to a careful and excellent sound management by Mauro Tavella, FOH responsible for the event, who stated:
"I knew VIO L208 by dBTechnologies and it made a very good impression on me from the first time I listened to it. This is an excellent PA that today has allowed me to work at my best, even if we are in a space acoustically a little bit difficult, because it’s very high (the auditorium of the Conservatory is on two levels, audience and balcony n.d.r.). The acoustic performance, even in this context, left me more than satisfied and I can imagine many tours in theaters and clubs where VIO would be a great solution for production, both for the small size and for the excellent performance”.
The first edition of the Carlo U. Rossi Award took place between instants of emotion for the producer, who is recent passed away, and moments of pure energy, in which art and authoriality have emerged with explosive force, giving space to captivating interpretations that were able to surprise and excite in presence of the strength and the beauty of Music.
