DESCRIPTION:
In 2010, RMIT BA Music Industry students from the RMIT School of Media and Communication in collaboration with students from the RMIT School of Aerospace, Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering have collaborated with local Melbourne industry partner Creative Environment Enterprises to design and build a mobile solar powered audio/visual production system.

The RMIT 'work integrated learning project' (named The Germinate Project) involves undergraduate students working together to develop a design for Germinate, a highly efficient, 5k audio/visual production system.

Germinate features the latest in efficient audio amplification technology and an LED lighting array that uses less than a quarter of the energy usage of a single standard stage spotlight.

This system can power a small to medium music festival stage for musicians using standard 240 v music amplification equipment.

The aim of The Germinate Project is to develop a "think green" ethos within the Australian music industry and to promote best practice in solar power generation and efficient audio technology.
