AUSTIN, TX – The three-day SXSW Music Festival featured K-array loudspeakers and Sennheiser microphones and wireless transmitters for a diverse lineup of artists performing at the PureVolume House, Maggie Mae's and Speakeasy venues.
The stage at PureVolume House featured a set of K-array's deceptively small Redline KR200s loudspeakers. Artists were also provided with a Sennheiser SKM 2000 wireless handheld transmitter with MMD 935-1 capsule and a complement of evolution microphones for reinforcing guitars, drums and other instruments. Similar equipment was used during performances at Maggie Mae's and Speakeasy.
The sound of Sennheiser could be heard both on and off the stage . Blameshift, a Long Island, N.Y.-based rock band, for example, let fans preview their music through a pair of Sennheiser HD 238s as they strolled through the crowd. Sennheiser reps were also on hand for the duration, providing demos on a range of Sennheiser headsets and offering plenty of giveaways to music fans.
K-array KR200s was chosen for PureVolume House for its compact size, low weight and easy-to-rig characteristics as well as its ability to produce well-balanced, crisp sound across the entire frequency range.
The KR200s is a powered two-way system designed for use with small to medium wavefront systems, in both mobile and install applications. Its ultra-slim satellite features a line array of two-inch, high-efficiency drive units with a neodymium magnet structure and suspensions, increasing linear excursion of sound while minimizing noise. Since the K-array unit features a revolutionary design and is not housed in a traditional speaker cabinet, it delivers a truly natural sound.
