"We are trying to expand the market to which our sound systems are pitched," says ACC owner Alsatian Kerri. "We do a lot of theatre and corporate events that our existing HK systems are great for, but we want to start looking at systems for bands and small outdoor festivals for which the Cheddar is ideal."
ACC has purchased 16 CDR 108 mid/high units, eight CDR 210 C sub woofers and two PRO amp racks with additional controllers to enable two smaller systems to go out on hire at the same time. The company already has a substantial inventory of HK AUDIO systems.
Access introduction to Cheddar Compact came about when UK distributor John Horny Skews brought over a demo system for the Indian Community Meal Festival in Belfast's Botanic Gardens. HK's Christian Stump set the system up for the event, which was attended by around 8,000 people throughout the day. "The system covered the whole site without any problems, relaying music from both live bands and CD playback for dancers," says Kerri. "In fact at one stage during the first hour I had to ask our engineer, Daemon Hughes, to turn it down, the coverage was so good."
