While each firm serves different markets and has its own approach to rental sound reinforcement, the establishment of a large common inventory of similar loudspeaker systems provides some significant new options for rental customers in Oklahoma, Texas and beyond, says JBL. A total of 72 new powered midsize JBL Vertec line array elements with 36 supporting powered subwoofers will all now be located within a few hours' drive of each other in the southwestern United States.
"The southwestern USA now has a suite of professionally-deployed rental sound systems able to meet the needs of a wide range of entertainment and business events," noted Jim Bumgardner, sales director for JBL's central region. "AVW-Telav, Ford A/V, Backward Audio and Gemini Sound, each serviced by JBL's regional representative, Dobbs-Stanford Professional, have all seen the integrated-system advantages of JBL's midsize powered system models, and are now prepared to serve the sound reinforcement needs of the corporate/AV and concert market segments with high-performance sound reinforcement solutions."
