In golden autumn Chang'an, the ancient city danced with melodies and youth resonated with sound waves. On October 24-25, the national singer Emil Chau's "Young's Fantasy Journey 3.0" World Tour Xi'an Station kicked off passionately at the Xi'an Olympic Sports Center Gymnasium.
From "Flower Heart" to "Friends", and from "Sword and Dream" to "Hard to Read Sutra", a generation's youth memories returned with the notes. Powered by the top-tier acoustic technology of Reyn Audio, an audio brand under Foshan Yifeng, Emil Chau and tens of thousands of fans completed a timeless, two-way devotion with his enduring "youthful voice"—wherever the singing reached, it became a chorus.
Acoustic Challenge: When Sound Waves Traverse a 10,000-Seat Arena
The Xi'an Olympic Sports Center Gymnasium is a large-scale comprehensive venue holding nearly 20,000 spectators. Its wide bowl-shaped viewing space and multi-tiered stands posed strict challenges to sound field coverage uniformity and speech clarity. To face this, the Reyn Audio team deployed RL15 and RL2 line array speakers, GS218 subwoofers, RX12 front fill speakers, M1 stage monitors, and RA1 digital amplifier racks, paired with the TURANDOT acoustic system platform to build a precise, venue-wide acoustic network.
Soul of the Sound Field: Precise Simulation
The TURANDOT acoustic system platform served as the concert's "acoustic brain". TURANDOT is an industry-leading simulation and control system for spatial modeling, acoustic optimization, preset parameters, and audio control, ideal for tours, stadium events, commercial shows, and theaters.
The Reyn Audio team used this platform for 3D sound field modeling and preview optimization, simulating sound propagation paths, coverage, and energy distribution in advance to predict attenuation and blind spots, while refining tuning plans via SPL sound pressure rendering. This precise calculation made every deployment targeted and effective.

Main Array: Stunning Opening
The main system combined 28 RL15 units with 8 RL2 line array speakers. As a flagship large-scale line array, the RL15 utilized abundant mid-low frequency energy and long-throw capability to evenly cover the multi-tiered stands; the RL2 used its excellent high-frequency projection to precisely capture subtle vocal textures, delivering Emil Chau's soaring martial arts singing styles and delicate vocal runs clearly and losslessly to every spectator in the stands.
Side Fill Array
Side fill arrays were set on both sides of the stage: Side 1 and Side 2 were equipped with 12 and 32 RL2 speakers respectively, focusing on high-frequency extension and near-field detail reinforcement to accurately cover the inner-area sides. They delivered Emil Chau's gentle lyrical vocals and powerful martial arts segments authentically across the venue, eliminating listening gaps between different areas.
Low-Frequency Storm: Solidifying Youthful Rhythms
The low-frequency system adopted a dual-matrix layout of flown and ground subwoofers: Fly Sub consisted of 12 GS218 hanging subwoofers, evenly delivering rich bass to the mid-to-rear stands; Ground Sub consisted of 30 GS218 subwoofers uniformly arranged in front of the stage, building a solid low-frequency energy wall centered around the front rows.
Front Fill Array: Zero-Distance Immersion
Six RX12 front fill speakers were deployed along the stage front, evenly covering the front rows of the inner area to make up for near-field shortcomings. Whether the gentle murmurs of "Friends" or lighthearted stage banter, every vocal detail was vividly presented, bringing a zero-distance immersive listening experience to the front-row audience.
Stage Monitor System: Confidence for Live Vocals
A total of 14 M1 professional stage monitors were deployed across the performance area. Featuring an 80°×50° controllable directivity and a 134dB maximum sound pressure level, the M1 provided a clean and transparent stage monitoring sound field for Emil Chau and the band, ensuring smooth genre switches, live interactions, and stable, flawless live vocal delivery throughout the show.
Amplifier Power System: Full Escort
The entire sound reinforcement system was uniformly driven by RA1 digital amplifier racks. Their powerful power supply and signal processing capabilities steadily preserved the true flavor and texture of the original vocals, ensuring every chanting and melody by Emil Chau remained pure, touching, and detailed.
A successful concert relies not only on ultimate vocal performances, but also on the hard-core reinforcement of professional equipment. Reyn Audio's pure and delicate sound textures fully unlocked a top-tier audiovisual experience for the concert, making Emil Chau's classic songs echo long in the night sky of Chang'an.
Beyond the sound field, visual expressions were equally polished. ACME stage lighting equipment was adopted on-site to achieve sound-light synchronization design linked with the Reyn Audio reinforcement system. Lighting layers progressed with musical rhythms, closely matching the audio dynamic curves to create an integrated immersive live experience.
