The challenge? Deliver an audio experience that would do justice to the iconic album across a series of sold-out UK arena shows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To meet the challenge, Skan PA Hire, a Clair Global company, was tasked with crafting a professional sound system capable of unleashing the raw energy and crystal-clear nuances of Gallagher&#8217;s performances. The mission was clear: achieve consistent, powerful audio that would electrify audiences from the front row to the nosebleed seats.<br><br>&#8220;We needed a system with serious muscle, but also finesse,&#8221; explains Sam Parker, Front of House Engineer for the tour. &#8220;L-Acoustics was the obvious choice to meet those demands.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"641\" data-id=\"394495\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/la-liam-gallagher-1-1024x641.jpg\" alt=\"L-Acoustics K1 concert sound system ensured muscle and finesse on the tour that set to celebrate this iconic album\" class=\"wp-image-394495\" srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/la-liam-gallagher-1-1024x641.jpg 1024w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/la-liam-gallagher-1-300x188.jpg 300w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/la-liam-gallagher-1-768x481.jpg 768w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/la-liam-gallagher-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">L-Acoustics K1 concert sound system ensured muscle and finesse on the tour that set to celebrate this iconic album<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Rising to the challenge, Systems Engineer Mark Pantlin designed a comprehensive concert touring system centred around renowned K Series line array speakers from L-Acoustics. The impressive setup features main hangs of 16 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.l-acoustics.com\/products\/k2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">K1<\/a> over four <a href=\"https:\/\/www.l-acoustics.com\/products\/k2\/\">K2<\/a> per side, complemented by side hangs of ten K1 over six K2 per side. Low-end reinforcement is delivered through 12 flown <a href=\"https:\/\/www.l-acoustics.com\/products\/k1-sb\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">K1-SB subs<\/a> per side, while coverage to the outer seats of the 270\u00b0 audience area is handled by two hangs of 12 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.l-acoustics.com\/products\/k3\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">K3<\/a> per side. On the ground, 24 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.l-acoustics.com\/products\/ks28\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">KS28<\/a> subwoofers are arranged in eight pods of three, configured in a cardioid pattern for optimised rear rejection and control. The system is rounded out with eight <a href=\"https:\/\/www.l-acoustics.com\/products\/a10-focus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">A10 Focus<\/a> used as front-fills, six <a href=\"https:\/\/www.l-acoustics.com\/products\/a15-wide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">A15 Wide<\/a> as out-fills, and four delay arrays of eight K2 each to ensure well defined and crystal-clear sound throughout the venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pantlin highlights the system&#8217;s versatility, noting, &#8220;We created a controlled stage environment with good low-end rejection by positioning the K1-SB subs off-stage of the main arrays, working in conjunction with the cardioid ground sub array.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"394497\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/la-liam-gallagher-2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"L-Acoustics K series powers Liam Gallagher's \u2018Definitely Maybe\u2019 30th Anniversary Tour. \" class=\"wp-image-394497\" srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/la-liam-gallagher-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/la-liam-gallagher-2-300x200.jpg 300w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/la-liam-gallagher-2-768x512.jpg 768w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/la-liam-gallagher-2.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">L-Acoustics K series powers Liam Gallagher&#8217;s \u2018Definitely Maybe\u2019 30th Anniversary Tour.\u00a0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>L-Acoustics Soundvision software played a crucial role in the system design process. &#8220;Soundvision is invaluable from the very beginning of the design process right through to show day,&#8221; Pantlin explains. &#8220;It very accurately helps us see what the end result will be before the system is even installed.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The result? A sonic experience that transported audiences back to the heady days of Britpop while delivering the punch and clarity expected by modern concertgoers. From the opening chords of &#8220;Rock &#8216;n&#8217; Roll Star&#8221; to the last echoes of &#8220;Married with Children,&#8221; the L-Acoustics system ensured that every seat in the house felt the music&#8217;s full impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Press release assets are found by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/medialibrary.l-acoustics.com\/p?t=bDxnKH6gD#\/share\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">clicking here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Skan PA Hire provided a K1 concert sound system to ensure \u2018muscle and finesse\u2019 on tour celebrating iconic album Manchester, UK &#8211; August 2024&nbsp;&#8211; Thirty years after Oasis&#8217; groundbreaking debut album &#8220;Definitely Maybe&#8221; first rocked the music world, Liam Gallagher set out to recreate that magic for a new generation.
