WORK PRO has made a significant inroad into the Chinese market by supplying the country with its first WORK PRO ARION 21 Line Array system.
The Line Array has been delivered to FREELANCER PRODUCTION, a theatre and event production company that specializes in audio equipment rental to theatres in Hong Kong and touring artists on the mainland China. Since its delivery in September, it has already been used at the 3000-seater QUEEN ELIZABETH STADIUM in Hong Kong for a musical theatre production celebrating the 70th anniversary of the People’s Republic of China.
The ARION21 is a bi-amplified Line Array system that features two class D power amplifiers delivering 1000W of peak power per track. Each enclosure incorporates two 10″ speakers one passively filtered to control the directivity in the Mid-Low range and one compression driver featuring a polymer PM-4 membrane coupled to a 120º Horizontal coverage horn. The system’s frequency range runs from 100Hz up to 18kHz (-10dB) and it can deliver an impressive 135dB Peak sound pressure level.
Different units can be easily connected to each other, and each unit has its interface and controls positioned at the rear of the enclosure, thus allowing users to manually navigate through the menu and the different parameters of the system. Thanks to its powerful DSP, the ARION21 Line Array can be configured to suit a wide variety of applications, from medium to large venues where power, quality, and controlled directivity are required through to theatres and concert halls.
«FREELANCER PRODUCTION COMPANY contacted us as a result of a promotion we were running to showcase WORK PRO products to the theatre market.
