Thames Audio has purchased an L-Acoustics KARA modular WST line source system for its hire stock.
“The addition of KARA to our stock was led very much by customer demand,” says Thames Audio’s project manager James Tebb. “We had a number of clients who were specifying line array systems for their events. Having worked with a number of different systems, our preference stood very much with L-ACOUSTICS, and we used dV-DOSC systems on a number of UK events, tours and festivals.”
Following the success of these events, Thames Audio arranged a visit to L-Acoustics to listen to the new KARA system. “We were immediately impressed with the system as a whole,” continues Tebb. “The KARA is an obvious progression of the dV-DOSC system. Sonically it has the ‘L-Acoustics Sound’, which has made earlier systems such as dv-DOSC a preferred choice for many engineers. This has been taken a step further with the improved off-axis response of the KARA.
“KARA’s built in rigging is also a big plus, making the system very quick and easy to set up.
The professional nature of the L-Acoustics support and users network makes the package as a whole a very obvious choice. It is a big plus to know that during busy periods of the year or for larger events we can easily source additional systems and draw on the knowledge of other users.
Thames Audio has already used its KARA system on a number events including the Lord Mayors Show River Event in London and dates on the Armstrong & Miller UK Tour, and it is lined up for various tours and festivals in 2011.
