Work Pro Audio has made its first sale of an SL210A Line Array system to Freelancer Production Company, a theatre and event production company that specialises in audio equipment rental to theatres in Hong Kong and touring artists on the Mainland China. The sale marks a significant inroad into the Chinese market for the installation and pro audio division of Equipson

Since its delivery, the system has been specified by Sound System Designer Camus Chan, director of Equipson’s Hong Kong distributor All Solution, and used at the 3,000-seat Queen Elizabeth Stadium in Hong Kong for a musical theatre production celebrating the recent anniversary of the People’s Republic of China.

‘Freelancer Production Company contacted us as a result of a promotion we were running to showcase Work Pro products to the theatre market,’ Chan says. ‘We recommended the SL210A system as we felt it best met the requirements. Freelancer Production Company was really impressed with the system, in particular its sound quality, innovative features and price point. They tested the system in our demo facilities and immediately placed an order as they felt the system complemented their existing and extensive audio equipment hire stock.’

Sound Designer Wan San Hong, who is the director of Freelancer Production Company, adds: ‘The SL210A Line Array is the right size and has the right amount of headroom to service the venues that we most often work with. It is a very great system and fits everything the show requires.’

The SL210A is a bi-amplified line array system that features two class-D power amplifiers delivering 1kW of peak power per track. Each enclosure incorporates two 10-inch drivers – one passively filtered to control the directivity in the Mid-Low range and one compression driver featuring a polymer PM-4 membrane coupled to a 120º Horizontal coverage horn. The system’s frequency range runs from 100Hz up to 18kHz (-10dB) and it is capable of delivering an impressive 135dB peak sound pressure level. Different units can be easily connected to each other and each unit has its interface and controls positioned at the rear of the enclosure, thus allowing users to manually navigate through the menu and the different parameters of the system. Thanks to its powerful DSP, the SL210A Line Array can be configured to suit a wide variety of applications, from medium to large venues where power, quality and controlled directivity are required through to theatres and concert halls.

The system supplied to Freelancer Production Company includes four SL218A subwoofers and 22 SL210A enclosures – 18 for front f house and four for front fill. These loudspeakers all feature built-in DSP and are remotely controlled by Ethernet using Work Pro´s dedicated management software.

Following its delivery to Hong Kong, sound engineers from Freelancer Production Company were given hands on training with the system and its software to ensure the best possible results for their clients.
