SSE and Britannia Row will be incorporated into L-Acoustics' new Rental Network, an international platform to serve the community of line source array owners which replaces the V-Dosc Partnership. This allows its agents to pool quality values as well as human and technical resources, and to benefit from network synergies, says the manufacturer.
Britannia Row has already used its system for arena tours with Bryan Adams and Lynyrd Skynyrd, in a marquee for the BBC's One Big Weekend, and will debut it outdoors for Hyde Park concerts by The Killers, Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young, Blur, Kanye West and Basement Jaxx. SSE operations director Spencer Beard comments: "Speculation about the performance and format for the new large scale line source system from L-Acoustics has been rife for the past two years, and a major talking point with our clients. I visited the factory last autumn for a viewing and demonstration and was extremely impressed. Now that it's here we believe it has fully lived up to expectations and we feel K1 is going to be a very popular system indeed; it sounds great, is easy to deploy, and the new presets are well engineered.
