The company first adopted Optocore systems back in 2012. According to project manager (audio), James Sacca, "At the time we were looking for a solution that would transport multiple channels of audio as sends and returns. Due to the nature of the particular event, we also needed something that could be quickly cabled after a series of road closures.
The multimode fibre made this an easy task. We were more than happy with the reliability and performance that Optocore products offered and our system design engineers have continued to utilise Optocore products ever since."
Most recently they have purchased a series of X6R-FX converters, equipped with AES I/O, to move up from analogue to digital signal transmission. "We had been researching options on how best to utilise the AES inputs on our L-Acoustics rig by doing something that other companies weren't. We pride ourselves on being able to offer the highest quality solution and running a standard AES cable from FOH to feed our LA8's didn't feel like the best way to do it,"
Sacca continued. "We also wanted to couple the move to AES with our recent purchase of an L-Acoustics K2 System to offer our clients the absolute best in audio quality."
After extensive research and demos Optocore was chosen for its stability and flexibility.
