NEXO STM Powers Vietnam’s Hype Fest into Overdrive

When Hype Fest landed at Vietnam’s massive 30,000-capacity Cần Thơ Stadium on April 12th, it brought more than just a stacked DJ lineup—it unleashed a sonic storm powered by NEXO’s formidable STM modular line array system. With high-energy performances from local and regional headliners including Tăng Duy Tân, HIEUTHUHAI, Quang Hùng MasterD, Wean, and DJ Wukong, the production demanded audio muscle capable of delivering high SPL, pristine clarity and chest-thumping bass. That’s exactly what local production powerhouse PVN Vy Phuong provided.

The main FOH setup featured left and right hangs of nine M46 Main modules and nine B112 Bass modules flown in tandem, each array flanked by two M28s handling down-fill duties. Ensuring wide, consistent coverage throughout the massive stadium, PVN added outrigger arrays comprising eight M28 modules flown beneath two S118 subwoofers per side.

But the real punch came from the now-iconic PVN “Bass Monsters”—a ground-stacked row of S118 subs that didn’t just deliver bass, they made the earth tremble. Powered and processed by NEXO’s NXAMP Powered TD Controllers, the system ensured that every drop, dropkick and dance break landed with perfect precision and bone-rattling intensity. Engineers were offered Yamaha Pro Audio’s revolutionary CL series digital mixing consoles, which perfectly complemented the formidable NEXO loudspeaker system in offering a pristine soundscape that was every bit as immersive as it was impactful.

With more than a decade of expertise in sound, lighting and AV integration, PVN Vy Phuong has become a trusted name in Vietnam’s live events scene, and the STM system is now a mainstay at major events across the country. Hype Fest follows in the footsteps of other recent STM-driven festivals such as Tuborg Why Not in March and Strongbow Sparkling World in Ho Chi Minh City.

By combining scalable modularity with unmatched clarity and output, NEXO’s STM series once again proved why it’s the go-to system for large-format festivals aiming to leave a lasting impression—not just in the ears, but deep in the chest cavities of every raving fan.
