SSE Sales is to take L-Acoustics’ new Kiva II compact line array system on a UK Launch Tour.
SSE will show for the system – along with the new L-Acoustics X series – first time, running through Avid’s flagship console the S6L at three dates across the UK – Friday 28 October at the Fly By Nite Rehearsal Complex in Redditch, Monday 31 October and Theatre Royal in Wakefield and Tuesday 8 November at the University of Westminster’s Harrow Campus – three very different venues where visitors will have the opportunity to hear the brand new Kiva II system for the first time. To further increase the appeal of the days SSE has invited Avid to demonstrate the flagship S6L digital console and L-Acoustics will also demonstrate their X-Series Co-Axial range. These free events provide the opportunity to see and hear the Kiva II and X-Series, and get hands on with the Avid S6L.
The tout itinerary includes the Kiva II, a new ultra-compact modular line source adding 6dB of max SPL versus its predecessor, maximised amplifier density with 16 ohm impedance and a new rugged enclosure material. L-Acoustics will demonstrate the Kiva II including an A-B comparison test with its predecessor the original Kiva. The S6L is a fully modular, scalable live sound mixing system that provides functionality for a range of live sound mixing applications, including front-of-house, monitor, broadcast, theatre, and more. With the latest Venue 5.3 software, support is provided for the new Madi-192 option card; you can double your channel count for recording, playback and Virtual Soundcheck.
Avid Live Specialists will demonstrate the S6L including the latest enhacements brought by v5.3 software and the Madi-192 card.
Additionally, the X Series is the coaxial point source range of loudspeakers from L-Acoustics, aimed at installations and stage monitoring applications. L-Acoustics will be demonstrating the full range of X-Series cabinets including the X15 Hi-Q, the X12 and X8.
‘We’re looking forward to taking the new Kiva II out,’ says SSE Sales Director Alex, Penn. ‘It’s a first for us at SSE and we’ve chosen some really great venues to host these events. It’s also the first opportunity for us to see how Kiva II performs – the A-B comparison test between the old Kiva system and the new Kiva II should be particularly interesting.’
