The line array systems from the VIO touring series are PA for The Rap of China - 中国有嘻哈 zhōngguó yǒu xīhā 2019 Edition, a hugely successful reality show broadcast in China from June 4, 2019.
Well-known even outside of the Chinese perimeter thanks to its innovative scope in entertainment culture, The Rap of China was born from an idea of Qiyi, a Chinese television station oriented towards the youth entertainment, to support, encourage, and promote the development of rap and hip-hop genres through the discovery of new talents; at the same time, the project’s aim is to stimulate the viewer with in-depth investigations on the aspects and stylistic features of the rap genre, which is now able to interpret trends, enthusiasm, aspirations and desires of the youngest more consistently than ever. With content and form in constant evolution, the show has succeeded in adapting to the tastes and preferences of the audience and renewing itself year after year by creating interesting mixes between music, arts, fashion and contemporary dance.
The two VIO Series PA have thus flanked the entire duration of the program: the episodes of the contest were supported by a VIO L210 system, while the grand finale was entrusted to the quality and power of the VIO L212 line array system.
