d&b Soundscape Delivers Sonic Unity At Edinburgh International Festival

ProSoundWeb: Restrictions due to the pandemic at this year’s iteration of the long-established Edinburgh International Festival in Scotland saw the deployement of d&b Soundscape to help unite the disparate worlds of classical music and sound reinforcement in support of numerous performances.

At first I thought this was an article about the electronic music style drum and bass, not a company called D&B. In fact several parts of the article reminded me of the acoustics in rave halls.The ventilation and sound shell systems are pretty common in impromptu rave locations. The article did sound like the experience was being conducted in a non-traditional venue, so finding a sound system that works in any location, with experienced engineers, would be a great choice.

I appreciate that D&B was able to create a cohesive sound environment that worked well with all the disparate music styles in the event. It sounds like the team was able to find the best way of enriching the experience for the audience without sacrificing quality of the performers or the aesthetics of the genres. I would like to see how venues continue to adjust performance spaces due to Covid.
