The main system for the tour consists of 32 K1 boxes with 32 SB28 subwoofers, 54 Karas (36 for side-fill, 12 for down-fill and six for centre-fill) and 12 Kudos for rear-fill. The system is powered by 50 LA8 amplified controllers mounted in LA-RAKs.
"The artist insisted on using a K1 system for the entire tour since it has a reputation for being one of the best sound systems in the world," says High Lite's Borek Jirik. "Obviously, shows on this level cannot compromise on the quality served to the fans. We are happy we were able to meet the criteria."
While it's standard practice for Central and Eastern European rental companies to supply top range equipment for local shows, international one-offs, joint ventures and festivals, opportunities are arising to participate on a wider scale.
"We very much hope that a choice of supplier from the Czech Republic for this level of tour will help to get local companies into the focus of the international touring business, and to become a part of the international live music industry," adds Jirik.
