Martin Audio systems were deployed across three stages at Wonderfruit Festival, Thailand’s cultural gathering which attracted 35,000 visitors.
The deployment included WPC line arrays, TORUS constant curvature arrays and THS point-source systems at The Fields, a 200-acre site 50m north of Bangkok. Mr. Team Productions were responsible for the majority of on-site audio, deploying close to 100 engineers, technicians and sound crew.
The festival’s main Creature Stage featured two eight-per-side hangs of Martin Audio WPC forming the main left-right system, with a centre cluster of four WPS cabinets. Low-frequency reinforcement came from eight ground-stacked SXH218 subwoofers, with the system powered by nine Martin Audio IKON IK42 amplifiers.
The system is designed to provide what the manufacturer calls Wavefront Precision technology for beam steering and sound containment. With multiple stages across the site, the company says this was selected to control audio bleed between performance areas.
The SOT (Straight Out of Thonglor) Stage used a TORUS constant curvature array system. Each main left-right hang comprised four TORUS cabinets – three T215 and one T1230 – supported by a pair of CDD15 front fills and four SXH218 subwoofers. Amplification was provided by three IKON IK41 and two IK42 units.
The DJ-oriented Moonlight Stage featured a THS system with a pair of THS cabinets covering the main left-right, with an additional pair as outfill, reinforced by two SX218 subwoofers.
Joshua Oates, business development director of Martin Audio’s Thai distributor, Fuzion Far East, said: “We needed a long 40m throw to cover the main audience area, and WPC delivered consistent SPL and clarity throughout. TORUS’s very narrow 15-degree options really helped with noise control, especially given its close proximity to other stages.”
Pok Sutat, CEO of Mr. Team, added: “The deployment at Wonderfruit 2025 with Martin Audio proved that the WPC is more than capable of handling main-stage duties, while the SXH218 cemented its reputation as one of the most powerful and efficient subwoofers available.”
