The big update for MVMF audiophiles is that local sound company ESP Audio brings custom d&b D&B Audiotechnik’s rig each year, and captains the helm. D&B just released a cutting edge new concert rig, and Nils Erickson, the owner of ESP, is debuting it at the MVMF this year. In addition to updated drivers and components, the new D&B Model creates a pocket of quiet on the stage where the monitor engineer and the band have more control of the stage sound levels to hone their craft. “Our artists are in for an unparalleled stage experience this year!” Erickson says.Ā All of this amounts to improved sound quality, less power consumption, and new sound field technology to bleed less off the main PA onto the stage, giving the band a better experience on the stage to hone their craft.Ā
