Equip Multimedia recently welcomed sixteen boxes of d&b audiotechnik KSL series to their hire inventory. KSL has been designed to deliver a greater level of accuracy and impact with a directness that noticeably improves clarity, both for the audience and onstage.
The KSL line array is comprised of medium to large format 3-way loudspeakers providing a constant directivity dispersion pattern in a horizontal plane over the entire operating bandwidth. The two 10″ front-facing LF drivers combine with the additional 8″ side-firing drivers for an effective driver area of over 12″ to enhance the forward output while dramatically decreasing the output in the rear.
One week after receiving the system, it was deployed for Sip & Savour Lake Macquarie with the headlining artists being Birds of Tokyo, Pierce Brothers & Phil Jamison. Equip provided a full turn-key production solution for the three-day food and wine festival including audio, lighting, staging and effects.
“It was an honour providing world-class audio technology for high-profile artists here in Lake Macquarie,” commented Justin Mason, Events & Operations Manager at Equip. “Our KSL system performed amazingly and everyone was impressed by its’ clarity and headroom. It has so much punch and power!”
Justin says that they had multiple touring FOH techs come through and they were all impressed by the quality of the equipment supplied.
“The KSL system was a dream to mix with as it offers me so much control,” remarked Justin. “The vocal gain is quite exceptional as are the clarity and directivity. The lows and low-mids are extremely smooth.”
The crew at Equip Multimedia are overjoyed with their new KSL system; how it sounds, the coverage and everything else about it!
“We feel this is a big deal for a regional company to be providing this high-quality sound for national artists,” said Justin.
