L ACOUSTICS K1 FOR THE SOUTH AFRICAN EVENTS MARKET

Gearhouse chose to increase their existing L-Acoustic stockholding this year by adding a significant number of K1 and K1-SB enclosures. The K1 was specifically chosen for its increased SPL output levels, the ease with which its captive rigging allows flying / dropping of the arrays, as well as the amount of headroom available when running at full blast! It was also the natural choice because it can seamlessly be incorporated into the existing stock. The K1 and K1-SB use the same amplifiers and it also offers Gearhouse the option of hanging either their older (66x) L-Acoustics DV-Dosc or their newer (24x) L-Acoustics KARA boxes underneath as down fills.
