The Montreux Jazz Festival wrapped up 16 days of magnificent music-making on July 13, with a total of nearly a quarter million attendees thronging into multiple venues along the scenic shores of Switzerland’s Lake Geneva. For the 33rd consecutive year, Meyer Sound was selected as the festival’s Official Sound Provider, with LEO Family line arrays flown in all three principal venues and scaled-down systems — two anchored by the new ULTRA-X40 point source loudspeaker — at the smaller venues. We were joined by Amanda Davis, FOH engineer for Janelle Monáe, who performed at the Auditorium Stravinski, to discuss the sound of the Montreux Jazz Festival.
