Whitinsville, MA, USA, July 16, 2010 – EAW®, a world leader in audio system solutions, was recently selected as the loudspeaker of choice for Melbourne, Victoria, Australia’s Moomba Festival. The Festival is the continent’s largest and longest-running event of its type, held annually since 1954. While the Moomba Festival is not a music festival, in recent years, the show organizers have introduced a free music stage where popular Australian acts play for those attending the festival. This year, performers included popular recording artists Vanessa Amorosi and GRAMMY® winner Colin Hay. For event P.A., organizers selected several EAW models for their durability and sound quality. more
