Litestructures Plays Host to HK Audio Seminar
With a recent schedule which has included staging production rehearsals by major acts and shows including Take That, Girls Aloud, Coldplay's Viva La Vida production, Kylie's X tour and X Factor Live, the massive purpose-built rehearsal facility situated at Litestructures' site complex, near Wakefield, West Yorks, proved the ideal location for HK Audio and UK distributor John Hornby Skewes & Co. Ltd., to demonstrate a number of HK Audio systems in front of invited guests from the pro audio industry.
Focusing on HK's Concert Sound product range the aim of the seminar, held over a two-day period, provided an opportunity for both existing and potential new users to learn more about the basics of line array theory. Presenting the seminar, HK Audio's Christian Stumpp, head of sales for concert and install sound, took the opportunity to expand on the philosophy behind HK's line array system designs, before offering attendees the chance to audition and compare the various system options in action.
The presentation also provided the chance for existing users in the HK network to further build co-operative relationships in preparation for the busy summer festival and concert season ahead.
Concert systems from HK on display included a flown Cohedra line array, along with the smaller scale Cohedra Compact (CoCo) line array and the already-popular ConTour Array passive and active versions, in both flown and groundstack configurations.
Other ConTour Series enclosures included the CT108, CT112, CT115 and CT118 along with some of the larger active, self-powered 'Portable Sound' range systems such as ACTOR DX and PROJECTOR, alongside a selection of active and passive monitors from HK's Premium PR:O range.
An enthusiastic accumulation of guests relished the opportunity to be able to compare the various HK Audio system options at their leisure, especially in a self-contained, large-scale environment, free of the usual time limits and noise restrictions.
"The seminar proved an excellent opportunity to hear HK's professional products in a ‘real space' environment," was how Guy Morris of MLS Audio summed up the seminar, adding, "It was a very helpful exercise in determining what purchases will be useful for future inventory."
