On August 16, 2026, we provided audio equipment and managed PA operations for "August Is Here! Everyone Gather Around! Onagawa Bon Odori 2026," held in Onagawa, Miyagi Prefecture!
For the stage, we used QSC "KC12" speakers as the main PA system, while JBL "PRX ONE" and "EON ONE Mk2" column speakers were placed around the festival tower. A Soundcraft "Ui24R" served as the main mixer. The system also included CLASSIC PRO wireless microphones, a portable PA system, and a multicore cable system, allowing us to deliver sound throughout the venue.
In this article, we provide a detailed look at everything from pre-event preparations and on-site setup to speaker placement, wireless control, and lessons learned while managing sound for the event. We also offer a glimpse of the event, which came alive with Bon Odori, live performances, DJ sets, and more. Be sure to check it out!
