UK Rental Companies Purchase New L-Acoustics SB28 Subs and LA8 Racks
UK rental companies Skan PA Hire and Wigwam Hire have both added to their L-Acoustics inventory, with Wigwam purchasing 32 SB28 subwoofers and 24 LA8 amplified controllers, and Skan acquiring 32 SB28s and 60 LA8s.
"I heard the new subs, thought they were great and bought some to replace some of our older stock, and at the same time thought we'd also dip our toes in the water with the new amps," says Wigwam's Chris Hill. The company has been using the new SB28s and LA8s on tours with Radiohead, Human League and Shane Ward.
Skan's Abby Llewellyn says: "We decided to buy the SB28s because of their cardioid capability and the fact they complemented and enhanced our existing L-Acoustics stock holding." Skan, which joined the L-Acoustics network in 2003 with their purchase of V-DOSC, has been using the new subs and racks on the current REM European arena tour.
The new SB28 subwoofers feature L-Acoustics' Laminar Airflow Vents, a new bass reflex vent design, combined with high excursion components, yields an overall increase of 5dB in dynamic range compared to industry standards. The LA8 Amplified Controller offers cutting edge loudspeaker amplification, DSP, network control and comprehensive system protection in a single ergonomic package.
