The choice for Alcons was made on basis of a number of comparison tests and on basis of their experience with a large number of brands from Focus' own rental inventory. Most important decision criteria were performance, logistics, but also a wide acceptance of the brand throughout the different application areas.
Paul Lassooij, co-owner, and responsible for the rental equipment, says: "Important for a large organisation as Focus, is to serve a largest possible range of applications with a smallest number of different systems. With Alcons we've chosen for a brand that focuses on development of flexible sound solutions; not only the ribbon line-array systems, but also the other products and new developments are covering our needs perfectly."
Tom Back, MD of Alcons Audio, says: "Needless to say this is another great step forwards and at the same time a confirmation of the fast growing acceptance of the brand Alcons. One of The Netherlands' largest rental companies that takes on a considerable number of Alcons in its rental inventory, is a valuable addition to the international The Ribbon Network, for the market know-how as well as the dry-hire capacity."
Lassooij continues: "By now we have more than 100 cabinets of Alcons on the road internationally, with accompanying ALC controller-amplifiers. And that built-up in a one year period; That definitely says something about the confidence in the products and the company."
Focus Showequipment is more than 25 years old, and is one of the largest rental companies in The Netherlands. The company is internationally active as technical full service provider for the theatre, media, entertainment and event industry.
