Eventech promotes latest L-Acoustics systems
- Details
In minutes the sound system was in the air. “The days of farming with angles, cabling, racks and battling with networking are over,” comments Wynand Veldsman from Eventech. “As long as you do your homework beforehand, you get to site and it’s plug and play. It is so easy because of the software. And the boxes sound amazing.” PCO’s and rental companies who attended the day, especially those who had never heard L-Acoustics before, were equally impressed. “The Kara just sells itself,” he said.
With the current exchange rate in South Africa, it’s very expensive for companies to invest in Rands, so Henry Jenkins, owner of Eventech, did not take the purchase decision lightly. “It’s a big investment, but what we have done over the past 18 months is sell most of our old equipment, from screens to roofs, staging and mixers,” Henry explained. “We have bought new equipment, so as a company, we should be okay for the next five to eight years.
“Back up played a vital role. And on a purchase like this, we also had to know who else in the country owned the product,” says Henry. “In the end it made sense to go this route. I was initially a bit nervous, but at DWR’s L-Acoustics Open Day recently, I liked what I heard. Then, when Richard Smith switched on the Kara at our Open Day, I was happy and knew we’d done the right thing.”
