NASHVILLE Tennessee \u2013 April 2022 \u2013 <\/strong>American rock band Evanescence<\/a>, fronted by the inimitable Amy Lee who founded the group more than 25 years ago, just wrapped up a US tour supporting The Bitter Truth<\/em>, the band\u2019s first new album of original material in a decade. For the outing, Solotech<\/a>, Evanescence\u2019s sound reinforcement provider since 2017\u2019s Synthesis<\/em> tour, carried an L-Acoustics K2<\/a> loudspeaker system to ensure that audiences clearly heard every nuance of Lee\u2019s stunning mezzo-soprano voice soaring over the wide dynamic range of her intense band.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAmy is an incredible singer, songwriter, and storyteller, so ensuring the emotional connection between the stage and audience is of utmost importance, and K2 definitely gives us that,\u201d shares Eddie Mapp, Evanescence\u2019s front-of-house engineer since May of 2003, when the band\u2019s career skyrocketed with the debut of Fallen<\/em>. \u201cAlthough the original specification for this run called for K1<\/a>, production chose to use K2 as it provided a more compact truck pack while still giving us terrific vocal intelligibility, tonality, and precise control.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the tour stopping at a wide variety of venues, from larger clubs to proper arenas, the most typical PA deployment featured left and right mains of 16 K2, with six K1-SB<\/a> hung behind each array, plus 12 more K2 flown per side for out-fill. \u201cThe band loves to feel the low end on the stage, so we also deployed 16 KS28<\/a> as floor subs to facilitate that,\u201d notes Hilario Gonzalez, Solotech\u2019s systems engineer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a lot to manage impact-wise on the low end, from the kick drum, bass guitar, Moog Taurus pedals, synths, et cetera,\u201d adds Mapp, referring to the house mix, \u201cand the KS28 subs absolutely deliver that in a powerful yet tonal way for both the band onstage and the audience as well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Across the stage lip, six Kara were provided for front-fill, while two ARCS II per side handled off-stage fills. Supplemental stage monitoring was accommodated by two more ARCS II plus two KS28 for side-fills, and the full loudspeaker complement was driven by more than 40 LA12X<\/a> amplified controllers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cK2\u2019s high end is clear, natural, and smooth, and its low end can supply quite the punch. And when the KS28 subs are added in, the result is earthshaking, which is perfect for a group like Evanescence,\u201d says Gonzalez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cK2 is also very versatile and lightweight, so we were easily able to modify and quickly fly our hangs for each venue. With its variable directivity of 70, 90, and 110 degrees, we were able to keep the sound off the walls yet also spread out the dispersion to cover the extreme sides when needed. It\u2019s definitely a great box and we had so many audience members and visiting techs commenting on the clarity of Amy\u2019s voice and how good everything sounded.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
