OSA invests in PK Sound robotics
- Details
“Meeting the broad range of our clients’ needs drives everything we do, and we pride ourselves on being early adopters of innovative technologies that help us do it at the highest level,” comments Mario Educate, president of OSA International. “From blockbuster tours and events to high-profile installations, we see unlimited potential in how PK Sound’s multi-axis robotics will exceed expectations in the growing range of applications we cover. Between the cutting-edge technology, amazing acoustic performance, and unmatched support, we’re very excited about this partnership.”
The company’s initial investment comprises 128 of PK Sound’s medium-format T10 line source modules, employing multi-axis robotics to precisely control a system’s vertical and horizontal coverage parameters. This includes over 40 symmetric and asymmetric horizontal settings for each individual module, enabling the creation of tapered arrays tailored to any venue or space, along with an unprecedented 0.1° of resolution in an array’s vertical dispersion.
“The degree of sound field control that PK systems achieve through robotic optimisation is unmatched in our industry, and that’s on top of the operational advantages that support OSA’s growing body of work - no amp racks, fewer cables to manage, and significantly faster, easier, and safer deployments in any application,” comments Bobby Allen, executive VP of entertainment with OSA. “Ultimately, the ability to deliver audio experiences with maximum intelligibility and impact regardless of a venue’s acoustic limitations will keep us at the forefront of our industry and shaping where it goes next.”
Rounding out OSA’s inventory are 12 of PK’s soon-to-launch T8 sub-compact robotic line source modules, 32 T218 intelligent subwoofers, and four SC1 Signal Cells, which manage signal and network data distribution for all PK systems in a modular, globally standardised touring rack.
“OSA’s reputation for delivering world-class events with flawless execution is hard-earned, and we couldn’t ask for a better partner in the North American market,” shares Ralph Mastrangelo, global business development with PK Sound. “This is a proven team of industry leaders - many of whom I’ve worked with through my decades in the business - and their investment in PK Sound’s multi-axis robotic technology is a testament to our shared commitment of driving innovation to lead the next generation of live sound.”
