Xtreme has been building up its rental business, and, last year, invested heavily in expanding its lighting capability. In 2003, it is the turn of the sound department, which already has a healthy client list: the company recently provided audio services for two film launches in Leicester Square, is heavily involved in corporate events and conference work throughout Europe, and regularly supplies systems for dance events. One of their goals for the coming year is to increase their list of music clients, and the purchase of the X-Array is intended to attract more music touring business.
Xtreme's new X-Array system comprises four Xcn and four Xb LF cabinets, with two Xds ground-stacking subs. Craig Wiggins of Xtreme Audio Visual explained that personalities played a big part in securing his order. "The guys at Shuttlesound have been absolutely tremendous. We're not the biggest rental company in the world, and we need to know we've got back-up. They've given us great friendship and a lot of help, and that goes a hell of a long way."
