We have two standout projects in the shortlist for this year's Mondo Awards - Neushoorn in the Netherlands and Open Ground in Germany. Neushoorn has been shortlisted for advancing its main hall with a fully immersive sound system, delivered by More AV in collaboration with Funktion-One and Holophonix. Open Ground has quickly earned a reputation as one of the best sounding clubs in Europe thanks in no small part to the Funktion-One system from Funktion-One Deutschland and Vunktion.

Funktion-One has introduced the PSM15, a high-performance stage monitor developed to address a long standing challenge in live sound: providing a clear, stable on-stage reference at high level without compromising clarity. The PSM15 applies the same loudspeaker design principles used across Funktion-One’s product range to the specific demands of stage monitoring. The PSM15 monitor is designed for concert touring, festivals and live venues where clarity, consistency and reliability are critical. The controlled pattern and high gain before feedback make it particularly well suited to stages where open microphones and loud backline coexist in close proximity.
