The stage at the inaugural ocV!BE Guitar Fest, to be held at the Honda Center in Anaheim that will serve as the anchor for ocV!BE, a new $4 billion mixed-use live entertainment district scheduled to break ground later this year, will be equipped with a main sound reinforcement system employing an Allen & Heath Avantis mixing console working with BASSBOSS loudspeakers.
The large-scale event will feature North American music merchants as well as retail stores, vintage dealers, boutique guitar, amp, and pedal builders, private collectors, and accessory makers with unique opportunities to buy, sell, and trade gear. Slated to perform live on the stage are Dave Amato (REO Speedwagon), Bruce Kulick (KISS, Grand Funk Railroad), Greg Bissonette (Ringo Starr and his All-Starr Band), Matt Bissonette (Elton John) and Griff Hamlin (Single Barrel Blues Band).
The Avantis console will be accompanied by a GX4816 48-input stagebox and a 16-input DX168 expander. Specific BASSBOSS components to be deployed include AT212 powered 2-way loudspeakers and multiple SSP215 subwoofers.
“The fact that Allen & Heath’s digital consoles are dominating the marketplace is evident and well-deserved,” notes Bruce Adolph, co-promoter of the festival. “I personally heard a demo of the BASSBOSS speakers and I was so impressed with their clarity and richness – the full sound spectrum. I couldn’t ask for more to have this combination sponsor our MainStage at the inaugural ocV!BE Guitar Festival. Our guest guitar, drum and bass artists are going to sound great!”
“We’re honored to have been selected to provide audio equipment for this event,” adds Rob Impala, VP of Pro Audio for American Music and Sound. “With the impressive lineup of performances, the audience deserves to get the best possible sound. Allen & Heath and BASSBOSS make for a perfect combination.”
