RAT SOUND is proud to announce taking delivery of a stadium sized
L-ACOUSTICS K1 concert sound system. They are honored to be included
in the pilot program which is offered to top level existing members
of the DOSC network (V-DOSC and KUDO owners) who have interest in the
advance field proofing of the new K1/KUDO/LA8 system architecture. The
K1 is the next generation of full-sized, line source enclosures for
arena, stadium and festival tour sound applications.
Dave Rat, founder of RAT SOUND Systems Inc. spoke about the decision
to acquire the system. “Over a decade ago, I went down and listened
to the L’ACOUSTICS V-DOSC and heard something entirely unique.
Its amazing sound clarity and line source configuration changed the
industry. Through my work as sound engineer for the Red Hot Chili Peppers,
I have mixed on every sound system on the market, and the K1 is the
first time I have heard something as exciting as when I first heard
the V-DOSC. This is the new barometer by which all sound systems will
be judged. Not to mention the fact that these hang 24 deep, they have
a super cool, captive rigging system and the dispersion consistency
is amazing.”
“We are very excited to have Rat Sound participating in the K1
/ KUDO Pilot Program,” explained Paul Freudenberg, VP of Sales
and Marketing for L’ACOUSTICS USA. “Our relationship with
RAT and the V-DOSC system goes back a long time and Dave Rat’s
personal experience deploying L-ACOUSTICS systems and innovative approach
to sound design will undoubtedly rub-off on the exposure of the K1 and
KUDO product.”
L-ACOUSTICS has announced that the K1/KUDO Pilot Program is expected
to last for a period of 24 months, a necessary time prior to the official
launch of the future L-ACOUSTICS stadium line array system. K1/KUDO
Pilot rental companies will closely collaborate with the L-ACOUSTICS
R&D team and their technical support. Emphasis will be put on preset
validation, stadium system configurations design, rigging and general
system set-up and operation. Rental K1/KUDO Pilot companies will then
be offered a path leading to system ownership prior to its formal market
introduction.
