Gearhouse SA adds to L-Acoustics stock
Published: MEA
SOUTH AFRICA: Gearhouse South Africa, has recently added more L-Acoustics components to its inventory. The new equipment comprises of 48 Kara, 12 ArcsII and 12 Kudo WST line source cabinets, eight SB28 and 24 SB18 woofers and 22 LA-RAK touring racks installed with LA8 amplified controllers.
With South Africa’s increasing role on the international touring circuit and the increasing domestic market, Gearhouse decided to invest further in L-Acoustics to service the largest of these events. The company reportedly also wanted to update its amplifier platform with the LA-RAK and LA8 platform.
The company describes its new ArcsII purchase as ‘a perfect extension’ to the L-Acoustics range it already owns. ‘The small footprint and options in stacking and flying make it an extremely versatile product,’ said Andreas Furtner, audio operations manager at the company’s Johannesburg branch. ‘The compatibility and interchangeability of amplifiers, controllers and cabling with the other L-Acoustics systems reduces the need to hold a lot of different spare parts and units in stock.
‘Although we will mostly be using these as side-fills in connection with dV-Sub or SB28 subwoofers, and as front-fills, out-fills and down-fills on larger shows, we can also use them in smaller venues as a full range system for live performances,’ he continued. ‘We have already used them on a recent tour by Indian singer Sonu Nigam.’
