Stage Audio Services/Tour-Tech Lands UK’s First L-Acoustics K3 System

West Midlands rental and sales company bring first L-Acoustics K3 system to the UK.

Tour-Tech / Stage Audio Services extensive inventory of L-Acoustics cabinets has been bolstered by a further investment in the first K3 system to arrive in the UK.

Launched in October 2020, K3 is the latest in the renowned touring reference L-Acoustics K Series. Designed to deliver big sound for mid-size events by providing full-range bandwidth without the need for a flown companion subwoofer. According to Tour-Tech / SAS’s Kevin Mobberley, these benefits meant that K3 would be a profoundly useable tool and ultimately solidified their commitment to invest in the new loudspeaker.

Although, like most of the industry, the company’s business has been seriously curtailed over the past 16 months, the management team foresaw a limited window of time to financially secure a new system. “We want to be ready when the big restart comes,” Mobberley noted. “K3 fits a lot of criteria for us. We know we’re not the largest company in this sector, but we have some great clients, and K3 will tick a lot of boxes for them. It is ideal for larger theatre shows that don’t have the capacity for K2, as well as for smaller festivals, and I’m anticipating it being an exceptionally busy system for us. The fact that it’s very economical on amplifier channels is also a big bonus for us.”

The addition of K3 is part of a larger investment in L-Acoustics products for Tour Tech / SAS. They took delivery of the manufacturer’s latest amplified controllers, as well as a large stock of KS28 subs at the beginning of last year and are further investing in the A Series constant curvature line source, with the delivery of A15 and A10 cabinets and P1 processors, arriving imminently.

While its inventory remains dormant because of ongoing restrictions, Mobberley says K3 will be deployed for four or five festivals later in the summer and he has several tentative bookings for which he knows K3 is ideally suited. “K3 is a great choice as a side hang for arena shows, and it will be a good option for L-ISA Hyperreal sound configurations in arenas because of its light weight,” Mobberley concluded. “We also have a sales arm, Core Pro Audio, so we plan to use our K3 rental system as a demo system to help sell the product. In fact, we foresee so many uses for it; I’m already thinking about buying more later in the year.”
