"The addition of Kara to our stock was led very much by customer demand," says Thames Audio's project manager James Tebb. "We had a number of clients who were specifying line array systems for their events. Having worked with a number of different systems, our preference stood very much with L-Acoustics, and we used dV-DOSC systems on a number of UK events, tours and festivals."
Following the success of these events, Thames Audio arranged a visit to L-Acoustics to listen to the new Kara system. "We were immediately impressed with the system as a whole," continues Tebb. "The Kara is an obvious progression of the dV-DOSC system. Sonically it has the 'L-Acoustics Sound', which has made earlier systems such as dv-DOSC a preferred choice for many engineers. This has been taken a step further with the improved off-axis response of the Kara."
Thames Audio has already used its Karasystem on a number events including the Lord Mayor's Show River Event in London and dates on the Armstrong & Miller UK Tour, and it is lined up for various tours and festivals in 2011.
