Taiga Beirut approached Prolites for the supply of its state-of-the-art light, audio and video systems. They turned to K-array and used the Italian manufacturer’s super compact KH2 line array elements from the Concert Series in a cluster of three units per side as the main PA accompanied by six KX12 12” coaxial speakers and two pairs of KMT21 and KMT18 subwoofers.
Taiga’s owners place a major emphasis on the sound quality in their venue since it is known for its live performances. The choice to go for K-array came after thorough comparative testing with conventional speaker systems. “The system’s unique size-to-power ratio, its sleek, compact design, in addition to its clear powerful sound made K-array a clear choice” said Georges Germanos, Technical Manager at Prolites, who specified and commissioned the system.
On the lighting and video side, Prolites also installed a curved LED wall controlled by Madrix software for pixel mapping, a 24 m2 high resolution LED screen, Cyclops Lighting CPX 91-MZ LED and CL-200B-E beam moving heads and strobes, as well as Philips Strand SD6 dimmers and Avolites Quartz lighting control consoles.
This is not the first partnership for Taiga and Prolites; the two have previously collaborated on several venues. Prolites is the official distributor of K-array for the Middle East along with its Dubai-based sister company Procom Middle East.
