Ils medientechnik invests in Alcons LR18
- Details
Managing director Thomas Ils, leading the company together with his brother Mario, explains: "We had been looking for a long time for a sound system that covers everything required by our customers. As a technical service provider, we have a very wide spectrum to look after - from very small to very large events. In addition, all systems should be compatible with each other and have the same excellent quality. "
After listening to different systems, the spark finally struck with the compact LR7 pro-ribbon line array system. "After five minutes it was clear that the search was over," the Ils brothers state. "The Alcons system has a brilliant as well as extremely direct sound and as such, completely matched our idea of perfect sound reproduction. We were immediately convinced that with this system, we would be able to realize at least two thirds of our projects in industrial, conference and trade-show applications in a perfect quality.”
Thus, ils medientechnik invested in 42 Alcons LR7 line-array loudspeakers with BF151 subwoofers in 2016. With six VR8, which are soon to be increased to 12 units, the setup was complete. For the ils-Hausmesse (in-house show), the Leipziger borrowed the larger LR18 pro-ribbon line-array system. And once again it was love at first sound.
The LR18 enables a 1:1 reproduction of the original sound source, by means of Alcons’ multiple-patented Pro-Ribbon transducer technology; It combines a perfect projection and throw with the lowest distortion in the industry.
The joint feedback of both managing directors after the Hausmesse: "Hi-Fi sound at concert sound pressure levels and an unbelievable speech intelligibility - Alcons defines our future quality requirements in audio! It was immediately clear to us that by investing in the LR18 pro-ribbon line-array system, as an addition to the LR7 pro-ribbon line-array, we could realize all upcoming sound reinforcement projects with Alcons components.
“Both systems play incredibly confident even in difficult rooms, and besides the superb sound reproduction of the pro-ribbon systems, the amplified loudspeaker controllers do the rest with their comfortable set-up and controlling possibilities.”
The Alcons LR18 enjoyed its premiere with ils medientechnik as part of a choral performance in the glass hall at the Leipziger Messe. Here the critics were very impressed. "With only a t12-unit array, we achieved an impressive speech intelligibility on an area of 30 by 50m. Everyone was very surprised", says Mario Ils, co- managing director.
"We are very pleased to have won another enthusiastic Alcons partner with ils medientechnik, which strengthens the Alcons rental network in eastern Germany," concludes Carsten Albrecht of Alcons Audio Deutschland."
