Chinese Spring Festival Gala celebrates Lunar New Year with KV2 Audio

The Spring Festival Gala took place this January for the Luna New Year’s Eve celebration. As the first year with established UNESCO World Heritage status, the Spring Festival Gala had massive global reach. KV2 Audio was chosen to provide an audio solution to work alongside the performances and venues.

Four venues joined together as branches of the main event in Beijing, and for the first time a Jiangnan city, Wuxi, was selected as one of these locations. On the shore of Taihu Lake, the Wuxi venue featured vast outdoor performance areas. An audio system was required that would be able to cover the expansive spaces such as the main stage and across the lake, while taking into account the TV screens, moving props, and acoustic reflections.

To provide performers and audiences with an immersive surround-sound experience, a high-definition KV2 Audio system was installed throughout the venue. A selection of ES Mid/High loudspeakers was installed across performance areas, while smaller ESD loudspeakers were deployed across the bridge and in ships on the river.

The main stage system comprised a selection of ES Series loudspeakers with two ESM12 monitors. The river system utilised ES1.0 mid/hi loudspeakers complemented by ES1.8 subs, while the bridge system featured eight ESD6 compact loudspeakers and was driven by a single ESP2000 amplifier.

For the ship, a combination of VHD1.0 and VHD4.18 subwoofers and corresponding amplifiers ensured full-range clarity in motion. The lake stage was outfitted with SL412 loudspeakers. Other than the main stage setup which was a fixed system, the equipment in the other areas remained flexible to meet the needs of the program or changes to stage layout.

This year the Spring Festival was witnessed by a worldwide audience. It was broadcast in 82 languages (fourteen more than in 2024), with a reported 587 million video views and 1.738 billion content reads, and partnerships with over 3,100 global media outlets.
