The Taste festival in Tasmania represents the largest festival held in Tasmania with attendance this year in excess of 300,000 people. The festival starts after Christmas and runs for a week covering the new year. Held on the Hobart waterfront it co-incides with the running the blue water classic Sydney to Hobart yacht race that finishes at the adjacent Constitution Dock.
The event is a showcase of Tasmanian produce ranging from Seafood, fruit, meat and vegetable products coupled with local wine, spirit and beer products. For the third year local production company ‘Production Works’ have supplied the production for the site evacuation system (a complete Bosch solution) as well as the systems for the entertainment stages where once again Electro Voice equipment was utilised to provide the best performance and optimum quality possible.

The main performance venue for the Taste was the Silo Stage doubling as the After Taste Festival Club at night. This saw an XLC system of six cabinets per side coupled with three X-Subs per side supplemented by ZX 3’s as in fill. This was powered off P3000 amplifiers. The monitor system was also an all EV affair with T221M wedges across the front with a SXA 360/SBA 760 combination for drum fill and family related Dynacord AM 12’s across the DJ booth.

The second stage on site was the Waterfront stage that featured two Phoenix PX 2152 cabinets per side sitting on top of a XDS dual eighteen subwoofer. The foldback on the stage again consisted of a SXA 360/SBA 760 combination on drum fill with XW 12’s across the front.

There were then two buskers stages located at the taste with the main one located at the main entrance that featured performers from all around the world. These systems consisted of a Dynacord Powermate driving four ZX 3 speakers on poles to cover the grandstands.
 
Electro Voice speakers also saw service on the shed stage that featured guest DJ’s throughout the Taste with again ZX and XDS subs providing great sound. The Taste also featured a family related Bosch distributed system that provided general paging for the site comprising of Bosch horns and amplification.
