Wonderland Forest Summer Concert Series Employs 1 SOUND SystemThis summer, Wonderland Forest, a campground and concert venue by GFY Entertainment, transformed the rolling hills of Central New York's Apple Valley into a hub of musical performances. The venue hosted a series of concerts and festivals, powered by a 1 SOUND audio system for the outdoor festival-style stage. Upstate Stage & Lighting, a live production and installation company focused on music venues, selected 1 SOUND for the Saloon Stage. The versatile system accommodated various musical acts, from full rock bands to DJs, with traveling sound engineers reportedly consistently impressed by the clarity and sound of the system. For the outdoor system, installed for three months, Upstate Stage and Lighting deployed two Contour CT212s per side as the main left and right. These robust three-way horn-loaded point sources, capable of delivering a maximum SPL of 145dB, provided long-throw coverage for the expansive outdoor field. The Contour Series' constant directivity design helped to limit the sound onstage for microphones; it also limited the sound behind the stage where another concert stage was set up. The CT212s were hung using the CT212 Fly Bar. Enhancing the system's low-end, four bi-amped SUB2112 subwoofers were deployed at the front and center of the stage. The company says each subwoofer features a 21" driver paired with two 12" drivers, ensuring deep, powerful bass with punchy upper mids. For front fills, Upstate Stage & Lighting installed two Cannon C8 loudspeakers on the lip of the stage. These compact, yet powerful, speakers, each with an 8" driver and compression driver, delivered a maximum SPL of 120dB, ensuring an impactful sound experience for those closest to the stage. Additionally, Contour CT28s, the smaller models in the Contour line, served as DJ monitors, positioned atop left and right SUB2112s. All 1 SOUND products are IP55-rated complete with weather-resistant accessories, making them suitable for this application.
