Vergence Group Makes a Powerful and Triumphant Debut in China

Zhuhai was transformed into a playground of light, sound, and pure energy as Adamson’s groundbreaking Vergence Group made its spectacular debut at the Vision and Colour Music Festival (VAC) — one of Asia’s most anticipated celebrations of electronic music and live production. Over two days of unrelenting intensity, international heavyweights including Calvin Harris, Chris Lake, Illenium, Excision, and Outlaw (DJ Snake) commanded the main stage, their performances powered by the unmistakable clarity and muscle of Adamson’s Vergence Group VGt line arrays and VGs subwoofers, delivered by Real Music Acoustics and Lighting Technology.

For an event of this scale, maintaining sonic precision across vast open grounds was a formidable challenge. Variable weather conditions, shifting crowd dynamics, and a high-energy atmosphere demanded an audio system that could deliver unwavering consistency and power. Rising to the occasion, Adamson’s innovative design — featuring its patented M140 mid-range compression drivers — ensured smooth, coherent coverage across every corner of the festival site, enveloping thousands of revellers in a perfectly balanced soundscape.

The festival’s main stage system was nothing short of monumental. Twin hangs of 20 units of the VGt line array modules each, flanked either side of the performance stage, offering unmistakable crisp full-spectrum sonic output with superlative coverage. And perfectly complementing the output of the VGt line arrays are dual hangs comprising 24 units each of flown VGs subwoofers per side which deliver unparalleled low frequency fidelity with thunderous impact.

On the ground, a formidable arsenal of 54 units of the E219 high-performance subwoofers delivered seismic low-end punch directly in front of the stage, while 16 units of the E12 line array modules provided front fill reinforcement to guarantee uncompromised clarity and impact for fans at the barricade. To extend coverage to the farthest edges of the massive venue along the flanks of the performance stage, the team deployed powerful outfill reinforcement arrays – each comprising 12 units of the E15 line array modules over 6 units of the E12 line array modules per side. And seamlessly integrating into this awe-inspiring loudspeaker system design were a total of 16 units of the S10 compact line array modules integrated as downfill reinforcement to achieve an immersive, even sound field.

Given the vast expanse of the site, the team implemented a meticulous delay system engineered to deliver seamless sonic continuity for every listener, regardless of position. This delay network incorporated 18 units of the E15 line array modules, 12 units of the S10 compact line array modules, and 12 units of the E219 subwoofers, resulting in precise time alignment and consistent tonality across the entire festival ground.

Behind the design and deployment, System Designer Richie Wang and System Engineer Liu Kaiji collaborated closely with the Real Music Acoustics team to bring the vibrant festival atmosphere to life with Adamson. And the success of the Vergence Group Series debut not only underscored Adamson’s engineering prowess but also reaffirmed its commitment to pushing the boundaries of live sound — delivering not just volume, but pure sonic precision and emotional connection. VAC Festival once again proved that innovation in sound design doesn’t merely fill a space; it transforms it.

“The debut of the VGt and VGs at VAC Festival was a great experience. The Vergence Group Series gives double the power to allow people to feel the music no matter where they’re standing in the festival, and we were able to use ArrayIntelligence 1.3 to bring a well-rounded experience for the audio engineers,” said Lee Stevens, Director of Sales, APAC at Adamson Systems Engineering.

Alongside, sources confirm that in addition to mainstage, Adamson systems also headlined another major performance stage at the festival. Although smaller in scale compared to the main arena, the setup was no less meticulous and impressive — with left-right arrays comprising 15 units each of E15 line array modules over 2 units each of S10 compact line array modules per side, reinforced by a total of 18 ground-stacked units of E219 subwoofers that delivered thunderous, low-frequency energy with remarkable control and definition.

From the towering VGt arrays to the tightly tuned subwoofer stacks, Adamson once again demonstrated its unmatched capability to translate innovation into experience — ensuring every beat, drop, and crescendo resonated with unrelenting clarity and power across Zhuhai’s Vision and Colour Festival.
