In 1997, KiAN became the first Canadian company west of Toronto to own an L-Acoustics <a href=\"https:\/\/www.l-acoustics.com\/archives-product\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">V-DOSC<\/a> system. Now, more than two decades later, the SR provider has reinvested in L-Acoustics with a new system built on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.l-acoustics.com\/products\/k2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">K2<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.l-acoustics.com\/products\/kara-ii\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kara<\/a>. <br><br>Sharing inventory between its Vancouver and Seattle area locations, KiAN\u2019s latest system complement, delivered in May, is comprised of 48 K2 and 24 Kara enclosures, 24 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.l-acoustics.com\/products\/ks28\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">KS28<\/a>, eight <a href=\"https:\/\/www.l-acoustics.com\/products\/k1-sb\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">K1-SB<\/a> and four <a href=\"https:\/\/www.l-acoustics.com\/products\/sb18\/\">SB18<\/a> subs, 10 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.l-acoustics.com\/products\/la-rak-ii-avb\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">LA-RAK II<\/a> touring racks\u2014each loaded with three <a href=\"https:\/\/www.l-acoustics.com\/products\/la12x\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">LA12X<\/a> amplified controllers\u2014and three Milan-certified <a href=\"https:\/\/www.l-acoustics.com\/products\/p1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">P1<\/a> AVB processors. In tandem with the purchase, the company will soon be granted L-Acoustics Certified Provider status (CPr) upon completion of the mandatory in-depth product training that has been delayed due to current COVID-19 travel restrictions. <br><br>\u201cWe purchased V-DOSC 23 years ago and our system continues to give us great ROI,\u201d shares KiAN President and Owner Mark Reimann, who first joined the company in 1985. \u201cIt\u2019s been out on tour with Willie Nelson and ZZ Top and used at the Merritt Mountain and Squamish Valley Music Festivals, just to name a few clients over the years. We also installed V-DOSC at the iconic <a href=\"http:\/\/www.commodoreballroom.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Commodore Ballroom<\/a> in 1997, and it\u2019s still in use there, demonstrating the quality, reliability and long-term rider acceptability of the L-Acoustics product.\u201d <br><br>Based on these successes with V-DOSC and recommendations from its engineers, the company once again turned to L-Acoustics. \u201cWe\u2019re always looking toward the future and seeking better ways to support our customers, so earlier this year, when the timing was right for us to grow our inventory with new loudspeaker systems, it was not a hard decision,\u201d says KiAN General Manager Derek Mahaffey. \u201cWe love the power-to-weight ratio of K2, and with how light the enclosure is, we feel it will be the perfect solution to a common problem where other PAs are too heavy to achieve the vertical coverage needed. Our clients are all very happy to hear that we\u2019ve added it to our inventory and they\u2019re looking forward to using it soon.\u201d <br><br> For more details on KiAN Concert Sound Services Ltd., visit <a href=\"https:\/\/kiansound.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">www.kiansound.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/LA_KiAN_2-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"KiAN Concert Sound Services\u2019 Mark Reimann \" data-id=\"15306\" data-full-url=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/LA_KiAN_2.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.l-acoustics.com\/?attachment_id=15306\" class=\"wp-image-15306\" srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/LA_KiAN_2-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/LA_KiAN_2-300x300.jpg 300w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/LA_KiAN_2-150x150.jpg 150w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/LA_KiAN_2-768x768.jpg 768w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/LA_KiAN_2.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">KiAN Concert Sound Services\u2019 Mark Reimann pictured with his recent shipment of K2, Kara, KS28, LA-RAK II and other new L-Acoustics products<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/LA_KiAN_1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"KiAN President and Owner Mark Reimann (left) and General Manager Derek Mahaffey (right) \" data-id=\"15304\" data-full-url=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/LA_KiAN_1.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.l-acoustics.com\/?attachment_id=15304\" class=\"wp-image-15304\" srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/LA_KiAN_1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/LA_KiAN_1-300x200.jpg 300w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/LA_KiAN_1-768x512.jpg 768w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/LA_KiAN_1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/LA_KiAN_1.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">KiAN President and Owner Mark Reimann (left) and General Manager Derek Mahaffey (right) with many of the company\u2019s newest L-Acoustics systems<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Longtime V-DOSC rental network provider becomes a Certified Provider, deepening its commitment to the French loudspeaker brand VANCOUVER, B.C., Canada \u2013 June 2020 \u2013 For more than 45 years, KiAN Concert Sound Services Ltd. has been providing live sound reinforcement systems and services for the Vancouver market and beyond.
