Head of audio Dave Plant recently placed an order for 16 x W8LCs with Redditch-based dealer, John Brown at Limit Audio.
Although this will be the first time Martin Audio has appeared in Limelight's rental fleet, Plant admits his company has used the manufacturer's enclosures many times in installation work, and is aware of both their pedigree and durability.
"It was inevitable that we would eventually need to embrace line array technology. As a broad-based company, we wanted a system with a compact footprint, but at the same time one with a long throw which could serve the larger venues."
The company has already started sub-hiring to another Martin Audio line array user, Leicester-based Hawthorn Electrical, as well as Yorkshire company, Audiotech Services.
"When we gave it its debut at the Scarborough Beach Festival I was happier than I had been at any festival," concludes Plant.
