In the sweltering tropical heat of Putrajaya, Malaysia, K-array was there to celebrate a historic day for Britain’s Nigel Lamb who upset Austria’s Hannes Arch in an action-packed Red Bull Air Race.
The Red Bull Air Race World Championship has become globally renowned as the fastest and most exhilarating motorsport on the planet. The initial goal was to create the most advanced aerial challenge the world has ever seen; it is a visual spectacle unlike any other and this particular event lived up to the ambition.
After an exhilarating race, the teams relaxed at the Village Restaurant, Pullman Hotel, Putrajaya Malaysia for the after show party. Big A Productions were briefed to create an event that matched up to the spectacle of the race itself, situated in the unique beach style building which posed challenges with height and shape for the sound engineers. Anthony Noel Yap and his team required mobility, flexibility and performance. They had little time to set up and after catching the K-array concert series in action Anthony had no difficulties in choosing the right system for this event which is a testament to the K-array systems quality and reliability in high pressured environments such as this one.
For this event Anthony Noel chose a KR402 system, which includes the KMT21 subs and used the KP102s (Python) for complete coverage in the room. The system was centralized in the middle of space where there was hi-tech artwork on show and a full guest list of racers, teams and high profile fans. The speakers had to be compact and discreet and not steal the show of the visual spectacle, taking place inside and outside the room. There are 40 different DSP preset slots available with the KR402s, part of which are specifically made by K-array to optimize the system performance therefore, Anthony and his team could achieve an extended base response with no distortion. This is music to some ears and in this particular case, highly cost effective and efficient to deliver a world class show.
“Mobility, weight and performance has always been an issue for us yet the Pythons addressed these issues with room to spare. Whether it is indoors or outdoors, headroom and sound quality are handled with ease. Having a reliable system on board is comforting for a sound engineer like me.“
