Working in the chaos - How PK Sound is changing the sound industry
Since the inception of line arrays (the big speakers you see stage left and right at major events) there hasn't been much innovation in the realm of sound reinforcement. Until PK Sound came along, and introduced their Trinity speaker systems, the industry’s first robotically controlled line source.
James Oliver sat down with me to discuss how their innovation is changing the industry and creating a line array that is multi-faceted, and constantly adaptable. Gone are the days where speakers are hung and sound people hope for the best.
Grab a coffee, settle in and get ready to learn about the people who make the shows we go to sound good!
