Skan PA Hire has completed its first tour as a certified dV-Dosc Provider (CDP). The company’s new system, comprising 24 dV-Dosc, eight dV-Subs, eight SB218 Subs, and four ARCS, all powered by LA48a amplifiers, was used over a three-week period across the UK and Ireland for the Mel C tour. The diverse nature of the venues showed the true versatility of the dV-Dosc system allowing Certified V-Dosc Engineer (CVE) Mark Ballard who was also mixing FOH to fly, groundstack, or combine the system as the audience geometry dictated. Mark comments: "I was really pleased to learn that Chris Fitch had decided to invest in an L-Acoustics dV-Dosc system. I knew right then that I was going to have great tour."

Paul Nicholson from L-Acoustics UK adds "over the past eighteen months, SKAN have looked at virtually every speaker product available on the Pro Audio market. Their final conclusion was that dV-DOSC provided the most complete solution for the work that they had booked. They preferred the clarity and accuracy of the system, which derives from the patented WST technology, a unique feature of L-Acoustics line source arrays. Combined with the tremendous power and flexibility of the small format system, and the fact that they would be joining the CDP Network, it was a complete Turnkey solution for their market needs."

The Mel C system was turned around overnight for the Ladysmith Black Mambazo tour (22 shows in City Halls and theatres 1,800-4,500 capacity), and will then go straight out on a series of 10 outdoor classical concerts with an average audience of 8,000.)(Lee Baldock)
