ninthWavesound is the first system of its kind in Aotearoa to have been hand-built by a woman (Dr. Laura Marsh a.k.a. DJ LLUSH) and the first to promote gender balanced and femme-focused line-ups. ninthWave is a feminist sound system.This kaupapa runs through her own events, and has been supported by Splore, Earth Beat, Brazen and Rhythm&Alps festivals. ninthWavesound holds space for feminist iterations and experiences of Bass music.

Physically, ninthWave is deliciously boutique with a heavyweight disposition, colourful, visually appealing and with powerful abilities that exceed her slight appearance. She boasts a 12,600W capacity and is designed to produce much lower frequencies than most sound systems, the resonant tuning of her 21” subs being 32Hz, extending much further down into realms of often unfelt bass vibration. (More bass, much better). She is a 4-way system comprised of 2x21”, 2x15”, 4x 10”, 2x2”; powered by two 4 channel high powered amps and a 6 channel Xilica LMS. Complete with 18m cables between cabinets and amps, she is uniquely enabled to create interesting configurations of DJ–stacks–audience relationships. She is currently based in Central Otago (((({}))))

Rig Specifications: 12,600W capacity. Double stack, 4-way system, comprised of 2x21”, 2x15”, 4x 10”, 2x2”. Tuned for bass music. Small but heavy.
