A selection of VUE a-Class systems served as monitors, with VUE h-12 systems as front fill and an Allen & Heath iLive console at the FOH position.

KANSAS CITY, Missouri — Seating nearly 8,000 patrons, Starlight Theatre has been a staple of Kansas City’s performing arts community since it first opened in 1950. As to be expected, Starlight has been through a few sound systems in its time, with the last one holding out for 14 years. The new L-ACOUSTICS KARA Modular WST line source sound system provides the intelligibility needed for theatrical dialog with the full-range frequency response necessary for music.
