Dubai-based Soundkraft LLC, a leading event technical services provider in the UAE, has expanded its loudspeaker inventory by acquiring a comprehensive system from globally renowned manufacturer L-Acoustics. The new addition includes over 24 units of the KARA II line array modules, more than 12 units of the KS28 subwoofers, and the advanced LA-RAK II AVB and P1 Processors – with the purchase being facilitated by NMK Electronics Trading LLC, one of the largest and most trusted professional AV solutions providers in the region. This acquisition aims to elevate Soundkraft’s capabilities to deliver high-quality sound for a range of live events and performances.

The company shared its motivation behind this significant investment, sharing “The decision to enhance our inventory with L-Acoustics was based on the brand’s commitment to providing exceptional sound quality and advanced technology that caters to the diverse needs of the events we service. Each element in this new system offers a set of capabilities that align perfectly with our vision of delivering top-notch audio experiences.”

According to the company, the purchase was strongly influenced by the sheer versatility and performance value that the system promise; as they noted, “What truly impressed us about the KARA II was its wide horizontal directivity and the optional low-frequency extension, which brings added versatility to our sound design approach. Not only does it deliver exceptional throw that ensures every corner of the venue receives clear and detailed sound, but its modular design allows for the ultimate level of flexibility to fit any sound design – be it vocal-focused events and high-energy music concerts. On the other hand, the KS28’s ability to fully utilize the LA12X amplified controller power not only guarantees precise crossover functions, enhanced linearization, and robust L-Drive protection for the transducers, but also deliver deep, impactful bass at frequencies as low as 25Hz. More importantly, its seamless integration with our existing systems and flexibility in both stacked and flown arrangements makes it an ideal choice for events where powerful low-end performance is critical.”

In addition to the loudspeakers, the company affirms that the LA-RAK II AVB touring rack brings a new level of efficiency to Soundkraft’s operations with its twelve channels of high-power amplification within a compact 9U frame, while the P1 processor serves as a critical component of Soundkraft’s new setup, acting as both a processor and a measurement platform thanks to its dual-core DSP that offers a comprehensive solution for signal processing, bridging AVB, AES/EBU, and analog audio seamlessly.

On the benefits of the LA-RAK II AVB, and the P1 Processor, the company noted, “The LA-RAK II AVB not only simplifies our setup processes but also delivers unmatched amplification power and network redundancy. Its integrated design allows us to manage multiple inputs with ease, ensuring we have complete control over our audio solutions across various event formats; while the plug-and-play design, along with Milan-certified seamless network redundancy, provides a robust solution for audio distribution and control. On the other hand, The P1’s multifunctional capabilities, including its EQ and multi-mic acoustic measurement platform, stood out to us. Not only does the unit feature EQ, delay, and dynamic processing capabilities, fully integrated with the LA Network Manager software for enhanced control, but more importantly, it provides a reliable platform for signal routing and processing, which is crucial for ensuring optimal sound quality and consistency across different venues and event types.”
