"We were lucky enough to be able to work the K1 on many widely different styles of gigs soon after it arrived," says Adlib's Tony Szabo. "This included the Radio City Liverpool multi act arena show, the 12,000 capacity Green Man festival, a 94m long big top tent at the Leeds festival and a show with German band Pur at the Schalke stadium, in combination with Network Rental Agent Sirius. On all these gigs and others, the K1 has lived up to expectations and more."
One of the things to impress Szabo is the K1's rigging, which he describes as "the best cabinet rigging on the market. We have confirmed that the 'L-Acoustics method' of putting the K1 up and bringing it down is actually the best way. We cheated on a couple of occasions when we had only eight cabinets high, and learnt that it's best to stick to the official method!
"The other big thing we have discovered is the horizontal dispersion is amazing; as big an advance in technology as the advance in cabinet rigging. This has to be the best and most even horizontal dispersion of anything on the market."
The K1 is currently out on the Doctor Who Live UK arena tour, together with Adlib's newly-purchased L-Acoustics Kara modular line source system.
