JBL and Martin Lighting soar at Summerfest 2018

Posted on: 9th July 2018

Clearwing Productions deployed a Harman Professional Solutions audio and lighting solution made up of JBL Professional loudspeakers, Crown amplifiers and Martin lighting fixtures at Summerfest 2018.

Summerfest features over 1,000 performances across 11 stages and attracts nearly one million people annually. In order to provide premium audio and lighting for the world’s top music artists, Clearwing Productions deployed rigs at multiple stages across the festival, including the JBL VTX A12 loudspeakers, and the newly-released Martin MAC Encore fixtures.

“Summerfest is home to the world’s top artists and we’re thrilled to use JBL Professional and Martin lighting to provide an amazing experience for performers and audience members alike,” said Gregg Brunclik, president/CEO of Clearwing Productions. “The new JBL A12s sound incredible - they allow the artists to put on their best performance, and they always get the crowd hyped. With so many different acts, our lighting needs can change drastically from set to set, and the MAC Encore fixtures make the performers look great every time.”

On the Harley-Davidson Roadhouse Stage, Clearwing deployed a complete JBL audio system featuring 20 VTX A12 line array loudspeakers, 12 VTX S28 and 12 VTX G28 subwoofers, and four VTX V20 line array loudspeakers for fills. Four VRack 4x3500HD and four VRack 12000HD power amps from Crown powered the rig. The lighting rig featured eight Martin MAC Encore Performance fixtures and six MAC Quantum Wash fixtures to illuminate performances by Social Distortion, Buddy Guy, Cheat Codes and more. 

“Harman continually provides outstanding sound and lighting solutions for the greatest performers in the world, and we’re very excited about our continued partnership with Clearwing that positions our products at the world’s largest music festival,” said Andy Flint, vice president of live entertainment at Harman International.
