I remember about 12 years ago, we loaded in to a festival in the morning where they had a noise curfew in place. The system engineer was a bit apologetic about not only no soundcheck, but not even a system check for the stage headliner. I think I said something like, “It’s a well set-up L-Acoustics V-DOSC, we’re fine.” And we were. Things have continued and improved along the same lines of dependable, consistent, high-quality sound.

I’ve been using a system with K1, K1-SB, K2, Kara, with KS28 or SB28 for subs over the last number of years with Santana and Lana Del Rey. Very different artists but the system design and goals for both have been very similar: high-quality audio with intelligibility, clarity, power where necessary with headroom, and consistency from the first row of seats to the last.
The Ibiza sound system gets parties started globally. Here are just a few examples of what can happen when you upgrade to iconic.
