One of Taiwan’s leading artists Jay Chou held a mid-January concert in Guangzhou to welcome in the New Year. Performing at Tianhe Stadium, Guangzhou before 30,000 fans, the show was even more memorable thanks to a L-ACOUSTICS K1 WST® line source system. This was provided by new L-ACOUSTICS rental network agent Reyn Yang Professional Sound Co, one of Taiwan’s biggest rental companies, which was using its new system for the first time.
The system was configured into two L/R hangs of 12 K1s and three KARA modular line source cabinets for downfill flown beneath six K1-SBs, and two side arrays of 10 K1s beneath six K1-SBs for far field coverage at both sides of the stadium. It was driven by LA-RAKs housing L-ACOUSTICS LA8 amplified controllers.
“This is a milestone and a revolution for the rental business in the Chinese market,” says Danny Lau, managing director of L-ACOUSTICS’ distributor for Taiwan and China, RACPRO. “We look forward to seeing more and more rental companies paying such close attention to their sound systems.”
According to Mr Lau, Reyn Yang’s owner Mr Liao really appreciated the great performance from the K1 system. “The system provided perfect coverage and unprecedented SPLs that he had never experienced when compared to their previous system,” says Mr Lau.
Prior to the concert, L-ACOUSTICS’ certified trainer Paul van Baasbank carried out some training with K1 and SOUNDVISION acoustic simulation software at the Tianhe Stadium. “It was good to do the training at the place where their first concert with K1 would take place,” says van Baasbank. “The team adapted very fast to the L-ACOUSTICS design criteria. Their experience, skill and eagerness to learn new techniques made this a great training course.”
The multi-talented Jay Chou is a Taiwanese musician, singer, songwriter, music and film producer, actor and director who has won the World Music Award four times. Although trained as a classical musician he fuses Chinese and Western styles to produce R&B, pop and rock, often with a political content. He stars in the newly-released film, The Green Hornet as kung fu expert Kato.
