dBS Solutions invests in dBTechnologies VIO system
- Details
dBS opted for VIO after two convincing demos: the first at Manchester’s international concert venue, the Bridgewater Hall, and the second at the Morecambe Carnival where the VIO system was put through its paces on the Bay radio live stage.
dBS managing director, Chris Bogg, says: “We’ve been impressed by the build quality of other dBTechnologies products, having added the multi-purpose DVX range to our hire stock a few years ago,” he explained. “When VIO was released last year, I really liked the integrated networking, the ease of the prediction software and the touring packaging.
“The “plug-and-play” aspect of a powered system is also an advantage for us in that we don’t need separate amp racks or external DSP as it’s all in the box. It was also very attractive from a price point of view in that we could buy enough to fulfil our needs and set a competitive rental price. So, when it became clear that we were going to need a bigger system, I was very keen to try it out.”
dBS Solutions purchased a complete turnkey system comprising 16 x VIO L210 line array modules with integrated RDNET providing control and monitoring of each individual loudspeaker, along with an RDNET CONTROL8 hardware interface, a full cabling package from ProCab and transport dollies.
“In addition to being very pleased with the performance and ease of handling of the system itself, it’s also good to know that dBS Solutions is now part of a growing VIO rental network throughout the UK, which will be beneficial for all of us when it comes to pitching for and servicing large events,” concluded Bogg. “CUK Audio, especially James [Lawford] and Stuart [Thomson] have been a pleasure to deal with throughout, always ready to go the extra mile to sort out demo systems and support, and working tirelessly to grow the VIO rental network. We really are very pleased with our choice.”
