France - L-Acoustics Rental Network agent Arpege has deployed its K1 system on Jean-Michel Jarre's World Arena Tour. With branches in Paris and Nice, the rental company joined the K1 pilot programme in March.
Jarre's current spectacle has been created for arenas and stadiums, featuring his greatest hits in a show merging analogue synthesisers with huge video projections. As the K1 system is behind the video screen used for the projections, experiments have been carried out on the left-centre-right system in unusual configurations.
For example, in the Vorst national forest in Brussels, the system comprised three clusters of eight K1 cabinets and four K1-SB, with eight SB28 subs flown behind the centre cluster. The K1 system is being driven by LA8 amplified controllers mounted in LA-RAK touring racks.
The K1 pilot programme will carry on into 2009 in collaboration with a dozen companies before its official launch, anticipated to be sometime in 2010.
