Two Dubai Sound Companies Expand With Adamson

	The Stagecraft Events team.

Adamson Systems distributor, Thomsun Trading, continues to expand the reach of Adamson Systems within the United Arab Emirates region. The company recently delivered new line array systems to Stagecraft Events and SAS Event Production. "Each companies invested in full, turnkey, SpekTrix line array systems," says Alok Ghurde, application support manager, Thomsun Trading. "The SpekTrix performance package consists of 16 SpekTrix line array enclosures. Eight SpekTrix subwoofers powered by four Lab.gruppen PLM 10000K amplifiers. They both purchased Cisco network switches for Dante audio distribution as well."

Adamson's SpekTrix line array is a three-way loudspeaker loaded with two dedicated 8" Kevlar Neodymium drivers and one 1.4" exit high-frequency compression driver mounted on a proprietary wave shaping sound chamber.

The compact sub-bass loudspeaker--equipped with two powerful 18" Kevlar cone drivers in a tuned and vented enclosure--is designed to provide high SPL low-end extension to SpekTrix line arrays. Built with convertible cardioid technology, the subs can be arrayed conventionally or in front-back or front-back-front setups for true cardioid performance.

"SpekTrix is a true line source system and is considered one of the finest compact line arrays on the market," says Stagecraft Events CEO Aveline Pinto. "I had heard and was always impressed by the clarity and tonality of the Y-Axis Series Y-10s and wanted something similar. When I heard the SpekTrix system I knew it was the way to go."

In addition to the SpekTrix performance package, Stagecraft Events also purchased six M12 and M15 stage monitors to round out their rig.

The SAS Event Production team was equally impressed with the quality of the SpekTrix system, the company says.

"We got better headroom than any other system we have used before," says Bjan, CEO of SAS Event Production. "When we first heard the system we were amazed. The quality, especially in the mid-range was impressive. In the future we hope to upgrade even further with the more powerful Adamson Energia PA."

Adamson's David Dohrmann, technical director Asia Pacific, provided hands-on training to both organizations and other companies in the region. The 2-day educational seminar covered line array principles, Shooter and Blueprint software training, Lab.gruppen Lake Controller instruction, and system alignment measurement with Rational Acoustics Smaart V7.

"Stagecraft graciously offered their premises for the event," says Ghurde. "All attendees were technical staff from local rental companies as well as the Stagecraft and SAS teams. The training will allow them to use their Adamson gear effectively and fine tune system performance on gigs in the current events season. It is just another example of the excellent support Adamson provides their customers."
